Germany to adopt bank restructuring bill

Official says government is aiming to implement bill by the end of the year

Germany aims to implement its bank restructuring bill by the end of the year, a German finance ministry official said on Monday.

The bill, which aims to provide a tool box for handling troubled systemically-relevant banks, is not geared to any particular case, while the planned bank levy, to generate funds for troubled banks, will have to be paid by all banks with headquarters in Germany which post an annual net profit, the official said.
