IADI Policy Brief No. 4 – “Five Emerging Issues in Deposit Insurance”

This Policy Brief was prepared by the IADI Secretariat Research Unit and offers an overview of five emerging issues that are expected to significantly affect the activities of deposit insurers in the near future – climate change, utilisation of financial technology (‘fintech’), Covid-19 policy implications, deposit insurers’ role in resolution, and cross-border considerations. Following a description of each of the issues, this Policy Brief explains why these issues are relevant to deposit insurers and identifies relevant global and regional policy initiatives.
