Summary:

This technical note examines the safety net, bank resolution, and crisis management framework in Spain. The financial safety net architecture for the banking sector comprises the Banco de España (BdE), the Fondo de Garantía de Depósitos (FGD), and the Fondo de Reestructuración Ordenada Bancaria (FROB). The note discusses that institutional roles and instruments of the FROB and the FGD need to be realigned.
