The bank resolution plan, which has not been tested, and the deposit insurance fund, which has insufficient funds, both need to be strengthened. The authorities should also consider making the necessary changes to the banking law to strengthen the resolution and depositor insurance frameworks, as well as issuing the necessary regulations and guidelines.
