Plain-English summary
The Reserve Bank proposes a crisis-management framework for deposit takers under the Deposit Takers Act 2023. It covers recovery and orderly exit planning, preparation for resolution, loss-absorbing capacity and arrangements that preserve access to deposits if an institution fails.
Feedback is sought on the clarity, feasibility, impact and implementation timing of the package, including how its components interact with the proposed capital standard.
Why it matters
The rules would shape how deposit takers prepare for severe financial distress and how authorities manage a failure.
Effective planning can reduce disruption to depositors and the wider financial system while preserving access to transaction accounts.
