AICB and Perbadanan Insurans Deposit Malaysia (PIDM) held a learning session on “Building Crisis-Resilient Banks with Resolution Planning” to build on the discussions around crisis preparedness through resolution planning following PIDM’s National Resolution Symposium held recently. In this learning session, PIDM Head of Intervention and Resolution of MI Groups Ho Kwok Piow — with over 28 years of experience in the field of corporate recovery and restructuring, transaction services, and regulatory policy — shared his knowledge on key aspects of resolution planning as a proactive measure for banks to ensure they can be resolved in a prompt and orderly manner without severe disruption to the financial system. Through international case studies of past bank failures, the session explored key takeaways from PIDM’s regulatory initiative on resolution planning to enhance the resolvability of Malaysian banks, and how resolution planning implemented in other jurisdictions contributed to the successful handling of the past failures. Discussions also focused on how banks can work closely with PIDM through resolution planning to enhance crisis readiness and operational resilience over time. Over 35 senior and C-suite leaders attended the session at Bangunan AICB.
