INTRODUCTION
This course will discuss deposit insurance and failed bank resolution systems: the role they play in a nation’s financial safety net; the advantages and disadvantages such systems provide; the establishment, coverage and funding of such systems; the linkage with supervision and licensing; and failed bank receivership and resolution processes and considerations. While deposit insurance systems are in place in many countries through-out the world, it is based heavily on the principal features of the deposit insurance system and some of the lessons we have learned from it.
