Summary

In August-September 2024, the IMF's Monetary and Capital Markets Department assisted the Central Bank of Comoros (BCC) in operationalizing a special resolution regime under the Law on the Recovery and Resolution of Financial Institutions (LRIF). The technical assistance focused on enhancing the BCC's capacity for bank restructuring and resolution, including on resolution tool and funding mechanism, and depositor preference. Despite progress in legal framework development, challenges persist, in particular due to the underdeveloped financial safety net and the absence of liquidity support mechanisms. Recommendations emphasize prioritizing suitable resolution tools, strengthening the liquidity assistance framework and establishing a resolution funding mechanism to enhance financial stability in Comoros.
