In adopting the Key Attributes, the G20 states committed to establish a designated resolution authority for financial institutions so that the particularities of crisis situations in the financial sector, such as the danger of runs on banks, can be taken into consideration. This new authority will be given a strong mandate.
In particular, its tasks will be to   promote financial stability,    ensure continuity of systemically important financial services,    protect depositors, although this could be done – as in Germany – in coordination with the deposit guarantee schemes,    seek to minimise the overall costs of resolution in home and host jurisdictions and    duly consider the potential impact of resolution actions on financial stability in other countries.
