May 11: Building a successful deposit insurance system<br />

Financial crises around the world have focused attention on the role government<br />

should play in ensuring financial-system stability and in providing a safe savings<br />

mechanism for small depositors. In response, numerous countries have adopted, or<br />

are actively exploring the adoption <strong>of</strong>, an explicit system <strong>of</strong> deposit insurance.<br />

However, deposit insurance alone cannot provide financial stability or even protect<br />

small depositors from loss. Certain political, economic, and legal conditions must be<br />

in place for a deposit insurance system to work. The deposit insurer, as well, must<br />

have access to information about the condition <strong>of</strong> the entities it insures, and must be<br />

able to take action against those entities on a timely basis. The system must be sustainable—it<br />

cannot fail because banks fail. The following workshops will focus on<br />

these issues and discuss how deposit insurance can play an integral role in a nation’s<br />

financial system.<br />
