A bank would be declared en concurso if it meets the commencement standards otherwise<br />

applicable to non-bank debtors (cfr. 11).<br />

The winding up <strong>of</strong> a bank and its concurso shall be carried out pursuant to the following<br />

special rules, in addition to the general rules applicable to non-bank debtors:<br />

■■ Only IPAB or CNBV are entitled to demand the concurso [LIC 122 bis 16-II;<br />

LCM 246]. 74<br />

■■<br />

IPAB shall be named as the liquidator or receiver [LIC 122 bis 16-I].<br />

■■ The concurso <strong>of</strong> a bank shall begin in the liquidation stage [LCM 249].<br />

■■ In the case <strong>of</strong> the concurso <strong>of</strong> a bank, the bank shall close all <strong>of</strong> its branches and<br />

suspend entering into new transactions [LCM 246].<br />

■■<br />

IPAB shall pay all IPAB-insured obligations <strong>of</strong> the bank [LIC 122 bis 17].<br />

■■<br />

The bank’s non-IPAB-insured obligations:<br />

– Shall be stayed [LIC 122 bis 16-III].<br />

– Shall become due [LIC 122 bis 21-I].<br />

75 – If unsecured, shall be converted into pesos and shall cease accruing interest<br />

[LIC 122 bis 21-II-III].<br />

– If secured, shall be maintained in their original currency or unit <strong>of</strong> account and shall<br />

continue accruing interest to the extent covered by the collateral [LIC 122 bis 21-IV].<br />

74 It is unclear whether the concurso <strong>of</strong> a bank can be initiated through the bank’s petition or only as a result <strong>of</strong><br />

demand from IPAB or CNBV.<br />

75 It is unclear whether, as a result <strong>of</strong> a bank’s concurso, its non-IPAB-insured obligations are converted into pesos (as<br />

a result <strong>of</strong> the application <strong>of</strong> the LIC) or into UDIs (as a result <strong>of</strong> the application <strong>of</strong> the LCM).<br />
