IADI report on the 2023 banking turmoil

It’s now available for download the report "The 2023 banking turmoil and deposit insurance systems. Potential implications and emerging policy issues", published by the International Association of Deposit Insurers (IADI). The Report presents a summary of the main issues resulting from the examination of the recent turmoil experienced in the banking system at the international level, from the perspective of deposit insurance systems and for the purpose of sharing experiences, rules, best practices and strategic perspectives.

Starting from the Report, useful insights can be drawn on initiatives for the development of deposit insurers’ activities, specifically referring to important topics, including: the level and scope of the guarantee, the implications arising from technological innovation on DGSs, the relevance of communication and cooperation between deposit insurers and with other safety net partners, for the definition of a holistic framework of bank crisis management.
FITD supports these in-depth initiatives to share common experiences for the benefit of the DGS community and the financial stability.

A FITD delegation led by Director General, Alfredo Pallini - IADI Vice President and Chair of the Europe Regional Committee (ERC) - attended the IADI event in Boston hosted by the local deposit guarantee scheme: Massachusetts Credit Union Share Insurance Corporation (MSIC).

In this context, IADI's role as a global standard-setter was also strengthened in the light of the recent U.S. and Swiss banking crises. In particular:

• Statutory amendments have been approved to expand IADI's role as a global standard-setter and recognize the important role of deposit guarantee schemes in contributing to financial stability as important member of the financial safety net.

• A report on the implications of the recent banking crises on deposit guarantee schemes will be published by the end of the year, also as a basis for the revision of the IADI Core Principles for Effective Deposit Insurance Systems scheduled for 2024.
