This paper discusses the resolution of credit instituions in the Republic of the Croatia. Resolution of credit instituions is a process of reorganization of a bank’s business and structure, usually undertaken as a measure of last resort, when previously employed measures or the use of other measures haven’t yielded results. In conducting resolution competent entities perform various actions through the use of various instruments based on specific resolution principles and objectives. These are all laid down in the Act on the resolution of credit institutions and investment firms, which, in turn, is based on a EU directive. These acts make the legal basis for resolution implementation in Croatia. In the Republic of the Croatia, resolution has been implemented on several occasions: during major banking crises of the 1990s and during individual bank-crises more recently. What follows from the examples studied in this paper, is that different approaches have been used for resolution. Also, the paper suggests some of the main reasons for the outbreak of crises, some of which were unique because of the macroeconomic environment of that time. At the same time it argues that possibilities of new crises connected to greater financial integration should be seriously considered.
