International Week of Deposit Insurance Acknowledges
Deposit Insurers’ Efforts to Provide Consumer Confidence in
Banks and Protect Depositors
Basel,
Switzerland 7 May 2010: The International Association of
Deposit Insurers (IADI) is announcing the 5h Annual
International Week of Deposit Insurance from 7 to 14 May
2010. This year’s week recognizes the numerous
initiatives taken by IADI and its members to contribute to
financial stability by protecting depositors. The week
closely follows IADI’s eighth anniversary on 6 May 2010,
with the theme “Deposit Insurance: Contributing to
Financial Stability.”
Martin J.
Gruenberg, President of IADI observed that “IADI and its
members have worked diligently to protect depositors and
strengthen deposit insurance systems around the world. We
are particularly pleased to be engaged with the
International Monetary Fund (IMF), World Bank, Basel
Committee on Banking Supervision, and other multinational
organizations in the development of a methodology to assess
individual deposit insurance programs for compliance with
the Core Principles for Effective Deposit Insurance
Systems.”
Many of
IADI’s members are undertaking or coordinating initiatives
to protect consumers and provide public confidence in banks.
Such efforts are often acknowledged during the international
week of deposit insurance. Initiatives include public
awareness campaigns, press releases on the role of Deposit
Insurance (DI) in contributing to financial stability and
economic growth, financial literacy campaigns provided
through secondary and higher learning institutions aimed at
promoting financial awareness. Some Members are upgrading
their ability to promptly reimburse depositors in the event
of bank insolvency and many are using the Core Principles
for Effective Deposit Insurance Systems to justify or
support legislation that strengthens individual deposit
insurance programs, and assessing their systems’ using the
Core Principles as the basis.
Deposit
insurers are publishing their initiatives through TV
broadcast promotions, agreements with insured financial
institutions and banker education, press releases, brochures
distributed via print and online media, website
announcements, multi-lingual advertising campaigns,
stakeholder and public briefings, social activities such as
assistance to earthquake victims and blood drives, Memoranda
Of Agreements with other financial safety net participants,
and participation in financial exhibitions. Deposit insurers
are upgrading their capacity to communicate with insured
depositors through help desks or other means.
Recent
international initiatives include:
-
In June
2009, IADI and the Basel Committee on Banking
Supervision jointly published
The Core Principles for
Effective Deposit Insurance Systems. The Core Principles
set an important bench mark for countries to use in
establishing or reforming deposit insurance systems.
-
IADI is
working with the IMF, World Bank, and several other
multinational or international institutions to develop a
methodology for assessing compliance with the Core
Principles for Effective Deposit Insurance Systems.
Completing the Methodology will help establish the Core
Principles as the authoritative international standard
on deposit insurance.
IADI
recently released a guidance paper on the
Establishment of a Legal Protection Scheme for Deposit
Insurance Systems.
Many IADI
members have requested or have been authorized -- through
law or regulation -- to improve their ability to protect
depositors and provide financial stability. These actions
often reflect experiences from previous crises or lessons
learned from responsive policy actions. Going forward, IADI
and its Members will work with international organizations
and national safety net participants to further improve
existing schemes and coordinate transitions from blanket
guarantees to explicit limit coverage when financial
stability returns.
The
International Deposit Insurance Week will be followed by
other events co-sponsored by IADI with other organizations
that promote international financial stability. The Deposit
Insurance Corporation of Japan in Tokyo will sponsor IADI’s
Ninth Annual Conference during the fourth week of October
2010. The Annual Conference will focus on financial safety
nets going forward, including exit strategies from the
financial crisis, re-privation of nationalized banks and
mortgage providers. The conference will bring together
leading experts to provide a forum to consider the roles of
Core Principles in supervision and deposit insurance,
necessary prerequisites for effective systems, and
individual principles and practitioners’ experience. Several
regional annual conferences are also planned over the next
year in the following countries: Mexico, Tanzania, Italy,
Argentina and Thailand.
IADI is a
non-profit organization headquartered at the Bank for
International Settlements in Basel, Switzerland. IADI has 60
Members, 6 Associates, and 12 Partners. IADI aims to
contribute to the stability of financial systems by
promoting international collaboration among deposit insurers
and encouraging wide international contact among deposit
insurers and other interested parties.
