FSB speech cites gap on resolution funding backstops across 19 jurisdictions

A closing speech at a Berlin conference on deposit insurance and resolution, delivered by an FSB-linked resolution authority chair, sets out where crisis-preparedness frameworks are falling short: perimeter gaps around stablecoins and new payment arrangements, growing operational risk, and unfinished implementation of existing resolution standards. It matters for anyone mapping how regulators are reframing non-bank and operational risk ahead of future rulemaking.

  • An FSB peer review (Thematic Review on Public Sector Backstop Funding Mechanisms, October 2026) found only four of 19 jurisdictions assessed fully compliant overall with Key Attribute 6 on funding in resolution.
  • The EU Banking Union was not among the jurisdictions found fully compliant, according to the speaker.
  • The speaker cites a 20 October disruption linked to a Google Cloud failure in London that affected Revolut's app, card payments, transfers and cash withdrawals alongside services at several other financial institutions.
  • The speech references IADI's revised Core Principles 17 and 18, covering cooperation among safety-net participants and cross-border information sharing respectively.
  • The Resolution Steering Group recently discussed stablecoin crisis management and responses to operational incidents, the speaker said.

Basel Committee says most members will apply Basel III by April 2027

The Basel Committee's latest progress update tracks how its 27 member jurisdictions are implementing the post-2017 Basel III reforms, originally due to take effect in 2023. This briefing covers the published status as of end-September 2026 and the compliance deadline most members have now set.

  • Three quarters of the Basel Committee's 27 member jurisdictions have published rules adopting the full Basel III standards as of 30 September 2026.
  • The revised credit risk and operational risk standards, along with the output floor, are already effective in around 85% of member jurisdictions.
  • Almost all member jurisdictions have publicly announced that banks must apply Basel III by April 2027 or earlier.
  • The standards cover the final Basel III elements published in December 2017 and the finalised minimum capital requirements for market risk from January 2019, with an original implementation date of 1 January 2023 set by the GHOS in March 2020.
  • The GHOS met on 9 March 2026, welcomed implementation progress and reaffirmed its expectation of full and consistent implementation, tasking the Committee with continued monitoring.

Live cyber duties strip firm discretion now as PRA, Fed and ECB defer relief for years

Two of the week's measures bound firms the moment they landed: the OCC's two-hour cyber notification deadline and the FBI's PHP patch order. The reforms that drew the headlines, the PRA's threshold indexation, the ECB's digital euro and the Fed's supervisory redesign, are dated years out or wait on legislation. The gap between the two is this week's story.

  • The OCC's Rule 213 change (SR-OCC-2026-010) sets a firm two-hour cyber notification deadline for clearing members and deletes self-assessment language.
  • The FBI's IC3 PSA tells firms to patch two PHP flaws, CVE-2026-109618 and CVE-2026-109619, or take affected systems offline.
  • The PRA's CP13/26 would index 128 regulatory thresholds to nominal UK GDP, with the first update on 1 July 2031; it closes 7 February 2027.
  • The ECB plans a digital euro pilot in 2027 and rollout from 2029, contingent on an EU regulation adopted this year.
  • Four US comment windows close between 3 November and 28 December, and the SEC must decide NYSE Texas's Rule 24 by 30 November.

OCC cyber clock and FBI patch order bind now as four comment windows close by December

The week ahead is governed by sequencing rather than any single rule. Two measures bind immediately: the OCC's two-hour cyber notification deadline for clearing members and the FBI's order to patch two PHP flaws or take systems offline. Four US comment windows then close in order through 28 December, the SEC must decide NYSE Texas's Rule 24 by 30 November, and the PRA, Fed and ECB relief that drew headlines is dated to 2027 and beyond.

  • The OCC's two-hour cyber notification deadline under SR-OCC-2026-010, filed 8 October 2026, is in force for clearing members and removes self-assessment language, with a disciplinary process attached to lateness.
  • Four US comment windows close in sequence: Cboe BZX's IEX fee (File SR-CboeBZX-2026-083) on 3 November, CMESC's default-management rule on 12 November, the State Department's PHFFA collection on 25 November and Treasury's garnishment-notice estimate on 28 December 2026.
  • The SEC must approve, disapprove or open proceedings on NYSE Texas's proposed Rule 24 by 30 November 2026, having extended review after Amendment No. 1 superseded the original filing on 5 October.
  • The PRA's CP13/26, proposing automatic indexation of 128 regulatory thresholds, closes on 7 February 2027, but its first indexation update does not operate until 1 July 2031.
  • The ECB plans a digital euro pilot using real transactions in 2027 and rollout from 2029, both contingent on EU legislation the ECB hopes will be adopted by year-end.

Cyber rules bind now while PRA and ECB relief waits until 2031 and 2029

The week split cleanly in two: obligations that strip firms of discretion landed immediately, led by the OCC's two-hour cyber reporting clock and an FBI order to patch or disconnect, while the relief that drew the headlines, PRA threshold indexation and the ECB digital euro, was dated to 2031, 2029 or a Brussels vote. Four US comment windows close by December. A $36.9m laundering case sharpened a stablecoin on-ramp lesson.

  • OCC's SR-OCC-2026-010 sets a firm two-hour cyber notification deadline for clearing members, removes self-assessment language and lets OCC disconnect a member or its third-party service provider.
  • The FBI's IC3 issued a formal PSA on two PHP core flaws, CVE-2026-109618 and CVE-2026-109619, telling firms to patch immediately or take affected systems offline.
  • The PRA's CP13/26 would index 128 regulatory thresholds to nominal GDP but does not make its first update until 1 July 2031; the consultation closes 7 February 2027.
  • Four US comment windows close in sequence: Cboe BZX's IEX fee on 3 November, CMESC's default rule on 12 November, the State Department's PHFFA collection on 25 November and Treasury's garnishment notice on 28 December.
  • DOJ arraigned Zheng Zhao over a scheme that routed more than $36.9m through a single Deltec Bank account, converted to Tether and sent to a Cambodia-controlled wallet, with 174 US victims.

Fed to restructure bank supervision into five regions, scrap committee layers

Federal Reserve Vice Chair for Supervision Michelle Bowman set out plans to overhaul the Fed's bank supervisory structure, replacing a committee-heavy system with five accountable regions aligned to state boundaries. The speech also covers pending CAMELS rating revisions, Regulation O changes and asset threshold indexing. Compliance teams at supervised banks should track the regional realignment and CAMELS changes for direct effects on examination contacts and ratings methodology.

  • The Federal Reserve will realign its supervisory function into five regions based on state boundaries rather than existing Reserve Bank districts.
  • Each region will have a single regional leader accountable for all supervisory activity, with examiners remaining in current Reserve Bank locations.
  • The FFIEC is finalizing CAMELS rating revisions so the Management ('M') rating no longer singularly drives the composite rating.
  • In July 2026 the Board proposed revisions to Regulation O, which has not been comprehensively updated since 1979.
  • Later this year the Board will consider updates to fixed-dollar asset thresholds, with a mechanism to adjust them every five years, and broader changes to the large bank tailoring framework.

BIS working paper links oil discoveries to inflation under fixed exchange rates

This BIS Working Paper (No. 1389) examines whether news of future income, specifically large oil and gas discoveries, moves current inflation before any extraction begins. It matters to macro policy teams because it identifies exchange rate flexibility as the variable that determines whether such news shocks become domestic inflation.

  • The dataset covers 1,309 large oil and gas discoveries across 79 economies from 1980 to 2019.
  • The study restricts its sample to discoveries with realised production lags of at least five years to isolate anticipation effects.
  • About half of the total increase in core consumer prices occurs before extraction begins.
  • Inflation rises mainly under inflexible exchange rate regimes but is largely absent under flexible regimes.
  • The current account initially worsens as domestic demand increases, then turns to surplus once new oil production begins.

CPMI and IOSCO finalise guidance on FMI general business risk and losses

CPMI and IOSCO have published final guidance supplementing the Principles for Financial Market Infrastructures, addressing how FMIs should identify and fund against general business losses. The report follows a 2025 consultation and a Level 3 assessment that found gaps in how FMIs apply Principle 15. Relevant for FMI boards, risk officers and resolution authorities overseeing recovery and wind-down planning.

  • CPMI and IOSCO published a final report on FMIs' management of general business risks and general business losses on 14 October 2026.
  • The report provides supplemental guidance to the CPMI-IOSCO Principles for Financial Market Infrastructures covering identification, monitoring and governance of general business risk.
  • It sets guidance on determining the minimum amount of liquid net assets funded by equity that FMIs should hold against potential general business losses.
  • The final report builds on a consultative report on general business losses published in November 2025.
  • It incorporates findings from a Level 3 assessment report on implementation of PFMI Principle 15, which identified issues in FMIs' management of general business risk and their liquid net assets funded by equity.

Fed's Bowman says BCBS and FSB echoed flawed reports on SVB failure

Fed Vice Chair for Supervision Michelle Bowman uses a Bangkok speech to detail findings from an independent review of Silicon Valley Bank's 2023 collapse, arguing supervisory failures stemmed from unclear accountability rather than social media or regulatory tailoring, and criticising the BCBS and FSB for relying on earlier, incomplete reports.

  • The independent review found supervisors knew about SVB's exposure to interest rate and liquidity risk at least nine months before the FDIC took the bank into receivership.
  • SVB had 54 matters requiring attention or immediate attention between 2019 and its failure, and none required the bank to address its core financial risks.
  • The review found the BCBS and FSB took language nearly verbatim from earlier US reports that were not based on complete or accurate information.
  • The Fed is considering changes including clearer decision rights for examiners, direct escalation channels to senior supervision leadership, and more direct allocation of authority between the Board and Reserve Bank staff.
  • The Board published a Statement of Supervisory Operating Principles in fall 2025 and has since refined it to incorporate lessons from the independent review.

FSB says just one in five members fully meet bank resolution funding rules

An FSB Secretary General speech to G20 context surveys AI adoption, stablecoin oversight and regulatory modernisation, but the hardest fact is a peer review finding on resolution funding. Compliance and resolution planning teams should note the implementation gap flagged and the parallel publications on AI practices and stablecoin monitoring referenced alongside it.

  • Only one in five FSB member jurisdictions is fully compliant with the FSB's policies on temporary public sector funding for banks in resolution.
  • Approximately half of FSB member jurisdictions have material gaps in implementing these backstop funding mechanisms, per the Peer Review Report on Public Sector Backstop Funding Mechanisms.
  • The FSB published its Sound Practices for Responsible Adoption of AI, comprising twelve practices described as a flexible toolkit rather than minimum standards.
  • A consultation report setting out eight principles for modernising regulatory and supervisory frameworks will be finalised in 2027 after further stakeholder engagement.
  • The FSB submitted a summary of its ongoing stablecoin cross-border vulnerability work to the G20, building on 2023 high-level recommendations and a 2025 thematic peer review.

BIS paper estimates Iran conflict could add 1.5-2 points to inflation through 2027

A BIS working paper by Ricardo Reis assesses how the Iran conflict's disruption to oil, gas and fertiliser supplies could move inflation in the euro area, UK and US. It models four transmission channels and offers central banks an early read on whether to tolerate the shock or tighten policy against it.

  • The paper estimates the Iran conflict could raise inflation by about 1.5-2 percentage points in total during 2026 and 2027.
  • A further 0.3-0.4 percentage points could come from higher inflation expectations feeding into spending and wages.
  • Financial market data as of May 2026 show long-term inflation expectations remain broadly stable, indicating the inflation target's credibility has not eroded.
  • The evidence on how fiscal policy responses to the shock will affect inflation is described as unclear.
  • The paper concludes the inflation effect will be significant and may last into 2027 but smaller and shorter-lived than the 2021-24 inflation surge.

ECB to downgrade lowest-severity supervisory findings to mere observations

ECB Vice-Chair Frank Elderson outlines how banking supervision is tiering its follow-up on supervisory findings by severity, reducing documentation burdens for low-risk issues while sharpening escalation for high-severity weaknesses. The speech explains a refocusing exercise launched in mid-October that will reassess the accumulated stock of findings and measures across significant banks.

  • By the end of 2025 the stock of outstanding measures across significant banks had risen to around 12,000, averaging about 100 per bank.
  • In 2025 the ECB closed 1,200 more supervisory measures than it created, and the stock fell by a further 600 in 2026.
  • From mid-October 2026 a refocusing exercise will review the accumulated stock of findings and tailor engagement to severity, prudential relevance, remediation status and time elapsed.
  • The least severe findings, categorised F1, will in future be communicated as supervisory observations rather than generating formal measures.
  • Mandatory verification of remediation by internal audit or internal validation will be removed for low-severity (F1 or F2) findings related to internal models.

Basel Committee consults on writing EBU parallel-score treatment into G-SIB framework

The Basel Committee wants to formalise the existing supervisory-judgment treatment of intra-European Banking Union exposures in the global systemically important bank methodology. The consultation does not change how EBU-headquartered banks are scored today; it hard-codes the 2022 agreement into SCO40 and the reporting instructions. For euro-area G-SIBs and their competitors, the stakes sit in what becomes permanent and what remains discretionary.

  • The parallel scores for EBU-headquartered G-SIBs would recognise 66% of the score reduction that would result from treating intra-EBU exposures as domestic exposures under the cross-jurisdictional activity indicator.
  • Any downward adjustment of an EBU-headquartered G-SIB is limited to a single bucket, and the parallel scores do not affect G-SIB classification or the scores and buckets of non-EBU banks.
  • Because the proposals formalise existing treatment, the revisions would apply with immediate effect once finalised; comments are due by 14 January 2027.
  • Banks with a leverage ratio exposure measure exceeding EUR 350 billion in the previous year-end must submit the full assessment data and publicly disclose the 13 indicators.
  • The assessment methodology applies from 2027 based on end-2026 data, with the corresponding higher loss absorbency requirement applying from 1 January 2029.

FSB finds half of jurisdictions still have gaps in public-sector backstop funding

The Financial Stability Board has assessed how far its member jurisdictions have gone in building public sector backstop funding mechanisms for banks in resolution. The review, launched after the 2023 bank failures, finds material gaps in roughly half of jurisdictions fifteen years after the original recommendations, and sets out six recommendations for action before, not during, a crisis.

  • The review finds further work is needed in a majority of jurisdictions, with approximately half still carrying material gaps fifteen years after the original recommendations.
  • The report sets out six recommendations for jurisdictions to achieve full and consistent implementation of the FSB Recommendations on PBF mechanisms.
  • The FSB is asked to support implementation by sharing good practices and closely monitoring progress on Key Attribute 6 and its Guiding Principles.
  • The review examines implementation of Key Attribute 6 and the Guiding Principles on temporary funding to support the orderly resolution of a G-SIB, not the full range of resolution tools.

Bundesbank and ACPR leaders warn against deregulating EU banks for competitiveness

A joint op-ed from the incoming head of France's ACPR and a Bundesbank board member pushes back on the idea that loosening bank rules would make Europe more competitive. It is a short, pointed intervention into the EU's competitiveness debate, reframing prudential resilience as a precondition for financing climate, digital and defence priorities rather than an obstacle to it.

  • Denis Beau and Michael Theurer argue in La Tribune on 10 September 2026 that deregulating EU banks to boost competitiveness would be a mistake.
  • The authors frame the EU's competitive position as an issue of sovereignty, not only economic growth.
  • They note the combined capitalisation of US bond and equity markets far surpasses the EU's, and that the US venture capital market is six times bigger.
  • They call for mobilising European savings toward climate transition, digitalisation and defence, and for advancing the Savings and Investments Union.
  • They argue resilience built by post-2008 reforms is instrumental to banks' capacity to finance Europe's strategic ambitions.

Basel Committee finalises G-SIB window-dressing fix, moves scoring to annual averages by 2030

The Basel Committee has closed off a long-standing tactic in which banks shrink their reported systemic footprint around G-SIB reference dates. Final amendments switch indicator calculation to annual averages, the threshold for who must report rises, and a parallel consultation reopens the question of how European Banking Union cross-border exposures are treated. Anyone running G-SIB reporting should read the implementation dates closely.

The FSB has assessed how its member jurisdictions have implemented Key Attribute 6, which calls for credible public sector backstop funding as a last resort for banks in resolution. The verdict is blunt: few jurisdictions have arrangements in place that can credibly meet the liquidity needs of a large systemic bank. This segment covers what the review measured, where the gap sits, and the recommendations now on the table.

  • FSB peer review finds few jurisdictions have a pre-arranged public backstop that can credibly fund large systemic banks in resolution.
  • Incomplete implementation of Key Attribute 6 is described as a material gap for authorities' ability to resolve systemic banks.
