Panama continues to consolidate its technical strength in the financial sector through specialized training initiatives. In this context, the Association of Supervisors of Banks of the Americas (ASBA), together with the Superintendency of Banks of Panama (SBP) as host, held the international course “Bank Resolution” from April 21 to 24, 2026, in Panama City.
The program brought together representatives from supervisory authorities and institutions linked to the region’s financial system, providing a platform to strengthen technical capacities and exchange experiences. The course featured instructors from the International Monetary Fund (IMF), who shared their expertise in managing stress scenarios in the banking sector.
The course addressed key tools for the effective bank resolution regimes design and implementation. Participants deepened their understanding of essential aspects such as the development of resolution plans, resolvability assessments, and the identification of effective strategies for managing banking crises.
The content was grounded in international standards, including the Key Attributes of Effective Resolution Regimes of the Financial Stability Board and the Core Principles for Effective Deposit Insurance Systems of the International Association of Deposit Insurers, ensuring alignment with global best practices.
Learning was further reinforced through case studies and practical exercises based on IMF experience, enabling participants to benchmark their national frameworks and strengthen their preparedness for potential crisis scenarios.
This initiative reinforces Panama’s commitment to developing a stronger, more resilient financial system aligned with the challenges of the international environment.
