   Season’s greetings from the IADI Secretariat

 

   Message from David Walker, IADI Secretary General

     

Let me express my sincere appreciation to all IADI Members, Associates and Partners for your efforts, and support, in the furtherance of IADI’s mission over the past six months. The year 2020 has been a difficult year for our membership who have experienced a profound period of adjustment in dealing with the global Covid-19 pandemic.

IADI has faced this challenge by continuing to adapt meet to the needs of Members, particularly in establishing a virtual work environment for the delivery of services.  The Association has been leveraging technology to deliver training and capacity building considering the various limitations on travel and gatherings.

After holding our first virtual Executive Council (EXCO) Meetings on 29 May and 12 June we have gone on to hold virtual EXCO meetings on 14 and 15 September, 2 and 9 December and an Annual General Meeting (AGM) and Extraordinary AGM on 8 December 2020.

For the first time in IADI’s history the Association held elections entirely via correspondence voting during its AGM.  As a result, we are happy to congratulate the General Director of the State Corporation “Deposit Insurance Agency” (DIA Russia), Yury Isaev, who was elected to serve as the Association’s President and as the Chair of its Executive Council for a two-year term. He succeeds Katsunori Mikuniya, Governor of the Deposit Insurance Corporation of Japan (DICJ), who served as President for a three-year term. During his tenure, Governor Mikuniya promoted the Association’s Strategy, including the extension of the current Strategic Plan to 2021. He also enhanced the capacity of the IADI Secretariat and introduced a Differentiated Fee Model (DFM) to provide more substantial benefits to Members and facilitate the implementation of many new programs and activities.

In terms of addressing the Strategic Goals of IADI through the implementation of the current Business Plan, the Secretariat has been joined by a number of additional staff members to enhance IADI’s training and capacity building work, Core Principles compliance assessment and in advancing the Association’s research and policy agenda.

Other important areas where work has continued include the Training and Technical Assistance Council Committee (TTAC), supported by the Secretariat’s Training and Capacity Building Unit (TCBU), which has moved further to establish a Core Curriculum for workshops designed for differing audiences and establishing an Expert Training Strategy. This Strategy seeks to create a structured programme for training IADI Members interested in developing an in-depth knowledge of the IADI Core Principles, becoming capable of leading Self-Assessment and Technical Assistance Program (SATAP) reviews, supporting Technical Assistance Workshops (TAW), and supporting or participating in the IMF/World Bank FSAP reviews and in conducting self-assessments of compliance with the Core Principles.

In other areas, IADI’s Core Principles and Research Council Committee (CPRC) and the Secretariat’s Research Unit (RU) have been working in numerous areas such as the publishing of a Brief on Depositor Preference and Implications for Deposit Insurance and a guidance paper on Risk Management and Internal Control Systems of Deposit Insurers. Meanwhile, the Financial Technology Technical Committee completed its workplan and initiated the development of a series of Policy Briefs.

With respect to IADI surveys, a major accomplishment over the past few months was the completion of the IADI 2020 Annual Survey on Deposit Insurance and Financial Safety-Net Frameworks. Work was also initiated on developing options to enhance the reporting features of the IADI Survey and Database Management System for Members.

The IADI Strategic Planning Working Group (SPWG) continued to work on the development of a new IADI Strategic Plan for the FY 2021/22 to 25/26 period and to review and seek improvements to IADI’s current DFM.  The SPWG is now focusing on constructing four pillars to help develop a strategic map for the Association.  The four pillars involve understanding IADI Member expectations, gathering the contributions of SPWG members and IADI Council Committees on improving the Association, analysing IADI’s Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats (SWOT) and benchmarking IADI with other standard setters.  Meanwhile, the SPWG Fee Subgroup made excellent progress on exploring modifying the current DFM; and, looking at the possible inclusion of additional parameters to the fee model, such as insured deposits.

Moving into the New Year, we look forward to engaging with you at our next virtual EXCO meeting in March 2021, our 6th Biennial IADI Research Conference to be held virtually in May 2021 and many other events. 

The entire IADI Secretariat Team wishes you the very best of success in these challenging times and the new year ahead.

 

   Highlights from the 19th Annual General Meeting

 
IADI held its 19th Annual General Meeting (AGM) by correspondence in October-November 2020, and virtually held its Extraordinary General Meeting (EGM), 65th EXCO and 65th bis EXCO Meetings on 2-9 December 2020.
 
     
  IADI Elected Yury Isaev as its New President and Chair of the Executive Council

During the elections held during IADI’s AGM, the General Director of the State Corporation “Deposit Insurance Agency” (DIA Russia), Yury Isaev, was elected to serve as its President and as the Chair of its Executive Council for a two-year term. He succeeds Katsunori Mikuniya, Governor of the Deposit Insurance Corporation of Japan (DICJ), who served as President for a three-year term.

General Director Isaev expressed gratitude to the Members for his election, stating, “IADI is an essential element of the global financial safety net and plays an important role in enhancing the effectiveness of deposit insurance systems and in contributing to the maintenance of financial stability around the world. I am grateful to IADI Members for their trust and the honor to serve as President of the Association during the next two years. We will continue our joint work on the implementation of our Strategic Goals to ensure the further advancement of IADI as a standard setting body and in promoting best practices, improving collaboration with other international financial institutions and providing quality services to the membership.”

He went on to recognise the outgoing IADI President, Governor Mikuniya and the DICJ team, for their tremendous contributions and dedication over the past three years in leading the Association and in facilitating the achievement of IADI’s Strategic Goals. During his tenure, Governor Mikuniya took the initiative to promote the Association’s Strategy, including the extension of the current Strategic Plan to 2021. He also received IADI Members’ broad support to enhance the capacity of the IADI Secretariat through the additional hiring of IADI Secretariat staff. Further, he made efforts to introduce a Differentiated Fee Model, giving the Association relevant resources to be able to provide more substantial benefits to Members and facilitating implementation of many programs and activities.

General Director Isaev concluded his remarks by emphasising the crucial role of the Executive Council, Council and Regional Committees, indicating that we need to improve our governance, streamline our decision making process and ensure our focus on the achievement of the Strategic Goals.

   Announcements regarding Secretariat members

 
New Secretariat Member

Mr Keehyun Park joined the IADI Secretariat in August 2020 from the Korea Deposit Insurance Corporation (KDIC).

Prior to joining the secretariat, his focus at the KDIC was responding to the IMF’s Financial Sector Assessment Program (FSAP) to Korea as one of the main contacts for the crisis preparedness section. Before that, he was responsible for managing and reviewing the adequacy of Deposit Insurance Fund’s Reserve Ratio and liaising with the Korean government as secondee to the Financial Services Commission to support its deposit insurance policy making.

The KDIC’s massive mutual savings banking (MSB) sector restructuring has been a big influence in formulating his career. The tasks he participated in include the PCA management and examination of failing MSBs, deposit reimbursement to failed MSBs’ depositors, audits to their bankruptcy estates and redeeming debts derived from the failures. 

He also cherishes the years he worked at the KDIC’s International Affairs participating in the revision of the Core Principles, contributing to the launch of the KDIC’s technical assistance program and collaborating with wonderful colleagues around the globe.

We are pleased to announce the recruitment of Ms Yung-Chen Carole Lin for the Secretariat position of Core Principles and Compliance Assessment Advisor (CPCAA).

Before joining the IADI, Ms Lin worked at the Insurance Bureau of the Financial Supervisory Commission in Chinese Taipei on international affairs and supervision of a reinsurance company. Prior to this, Ms Lin worked as a Policy Advisor in the Secretariat of the International Association of Insurance Supervisors (IAIS) hosted by the BIS. During the time, she was the primary support of the Implementation and Assessment Committee and supported a wide range of the IAIS implementation activities and strategies, including assessments on Insurance Core Principles and other supervisory materials, opportunities for supervisory capacity building and mechanism for supervisory cooperation among insurance supervisors.

Ms Lin joined the IADI Secretariat on 1 September 2020. With her previous in-depth experience in the involvement of a formal core principle compliance assessment programme, she will be responsible for creating a formal approach and developing process and procedures for an assessment framework to monitor compliance levels of the IADI’s Core Principles. The assessment framework will support the Association’s research and training functions to provide Members with information on their gaps in compliance in order to assist in developing action plans and programmes to modernise and upgrade their deposit insurance systems. 

We are pleased to announce the recruitment of Mr Juan Carlos Lopez-Mora for the Secretariat position of Technical Assistance and Capacity Building Analyst (TACBA).

Mr Lopez-Mora joined the IADI from Fogafin, the Deposit Guarantee Fund of Colombia, where he worked as Head of Corporate Communications and Affairs. Here, he was responsible for Fogafin’s institutional communications, along with the foreign affairs initiatives, where he led the participation in international forums and technical committees related to deposit insurance, including the IADI.

With his experience in the development of previous technical assistance and capacity building activities, he will be responsible for creating a strategy to address the requests raised by IADI Members and support them during the implementation process. With this, IADI aims to support its Members to strengthen its capacities and close the existing gaps with the compliance of the Core Principles.

Mr Lopez-Mora holds a Master in Business Administration from Carleton University, Ottawa, Canada, and a Professional Degree in Finance and International Affairs from Universidad Externado, Bogota, Colombia.

He became part of the IADI Secretariat team since 14 October 2020, for a three-year term.

We are pleased to announce the recruitment of Mr Taurai Togarepi for the Secretariat position of Training Assistance Analyst (TAA).

Mr Togarepi was appointed the TAA and joined the IADI Secretariat team on 14 October 2020. Mr Togarepi was with the Deposit Protection Corporation of Zimbabwe since February 2013. He worked in the Business Operations Department before he was promoted to be Manager in charge of Policy, Research and International Affairs in the Chief Executive’s Office in January 2016. Before joining the Deposit Protection Corporation, Mr Togarepi worked in the banking sector. 

His duties included providing policy advice on financial system, planning and coordinating all international activities. Mr Togarepi has been active on most IADI activities including being a member of the IADI Capacity Building Technical Committee, member of the Core Principles Practioner’s Working Group and Working Group member for Promoting Self-Assessments. 

He also worked extensively on IADI’s initiatives as support staff to the former IADI Treasurer and Africa Regional Committee Chairperson. He was the Working Group Coordinator for various workshops and conferences held in the Africa Regional Committee including Zimbabwe, Nigeria, Ghana, Uganda and Tanzania-Zanzibar.

Mr Togarepi in his new role will be responsible for assisting the Senior Training and Technical Assistance Advisor (STTAA) to support the Association’s training functions to provide Member’s with training support to modernise and upgrade their deposit insurance systems. This includes supporting the STTAA’s work on IADI’s Self-Assessment and Technical Assistance Program (SATAP) and working closely with the Financial Stability Institute (FSI) to conduct conferences, meetings and other joint training initiatives on deposit insurance and bank resolution issues and expanding other elements of IADI’s existing training. In addition, he will help undertake the implementation of the core curriculum and a programme for addressing the IADI Core Principles for compliance gaps in Member systems.  


Farewell to former Secretariat member

Ms Myeonghee Song finished her secondment to the IADI Secretariat and returned to the Korea Deposit Insurance Corporation (KDIC) in August 2020. Myeonghee joined the Secretariat in April 2018 as the Senior Policy Analyst. Among her diverse responsibilities, Myeonghee played a key role especially in organising and coordinating numerous IADI events with high level of expertise and versatility in dealing with many professional BIS in-house applications such as CEM Portal and eBIS. More recently, in response to the extraordinary circumstances related to Covid-19, she played a leading role in developing a procedure for organising IADI’s official meetings in a virtual form (Webex), in close conjunction with the BIS.

She was also responsible for the management of IADI public website, Members-only site and FSI-Connect e-learning module, providing technical assistance and guidance through active communication with IADI Members.

Mr Keehyun Park, also of the KDIC, has taken over her role to continue these critical activities of the Secretariat and Association.

We wish to thank Myeonghee for her great efforts and wish her the very best in her future endeavours.

   Update from the Strategic Planning Working Group


Since July 2020, the Strategic Planning Working Group (SPWG), and the Fee Subgroup reporting to it, achieved important steps towards completing their respective mandates
.1

  1 The mandate of the SPWG will be to conduct analysis and make recommendations in two specific areas:
    Mandate A
      i. Strategic Goals, activities and deliverables for the next strategic planning cycle (i.e. 2022-26), and
     ii. Organisational capacity, internal processes, human and financial resources needed to accomplish the new Strategic Plan.
    Mandate B
      i. Review the current DFM in consideration of other criteria which could be utilised to differentiate Members into appropriate annual
         fee categories.
    The Fee Subgroup reporting to the SPWG is responsible for providing possible annual fee options to the SPWG (focusing on Mandate B)

As planned, compositions of the SPWG and the Fee Subgroup were finalised by an EOI process. Regional balance, mandate, size and current annual fee level are well represented into both groups. Mr Patrick Déry (Autorité des marchés financiers (AMF), Québec, Canada), the SPWG Leader, nominated Mr Julien Reid (AMF, Québec, Canada) to act as Project Manager for the SPWG and the Fee Subgroup (Ref. Figure 1 and Figure 2). Also, Mr Déry nominated Mr Carlos Colao (Fondo de GarantÌa de Depósitos de Entitades de Crédito (FGD), Spain) to act as Fee Subgroup Leader.

The SPWG and the Fee Subgroup held monthly meetings with their respective groups in the past few months. These meetings were followed by Reaching out and Debriefing Sessions accessible to all IADI Members. The aim of those sessions is for the SPWG Leader and the Fee Subgroup Leader to present and explain the work accomplished as well as the work to come in order to ensure transparency and uniformity in the message among IADI Members. It is also an opportunity for Members to give their views on the addressed topics.

Work accomplished by the SPWG

During the last few months, the SPWG worked on four pillars to be used to develop a strategic map, which will serve as the basis for the next Strategic Plan 2022-2026.

Members’ expectations, the first pillar, originate mainly from the results of a Survey on IADI Member’s View of its Strategic Goals and Differentiated Fee Model. This survey obtained one of the highest levels of Member engagement for an IADI survey, with a response rate of 73%. According to the Survey, the Strategic Plan 2022-2026 should be in continuity of the current Strategic Plan. Also, the current fee model should be maintained with some improvements.

The second pillar is the contribution of SPWG members and Council Committees. They were invited to brainstorm on the following three strategic questions: (1) What should we continue?, (2) What should we do more?, and (3) What should we drop?

The SWOT analysis, which consists of addressing strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats of the IADI, is the third pillar. This analysis was developed based on inputs from 32 respondents.

The fourth pillar is the benchmarking with other standard setters, namely IAIS and IOSCO. This exercise highlighted the need to add a new goal in the next strategic plan that could be written as follow “Enhancing IADI’s governance to operate efficiently and transparently”. 95% of SPWG members agreed to present this recommendation to the EXCO.

Lastly, SPWG members used those four pillars to build their respective Strategic Map. All Maps are going to be analysed to articulate the broadest consensus in terms of activities to follow in coming years and will be discussed during the next SPWG Monthly Meeting to be held on 16 December 2020.

Work accomplished by the Fee Subgroup

During the last few months, the Fee Subgroup worked on developing fee model options taking into account: a) the views expressed by the Members in the SPWG kick off survey (which mainly supported the current fee model with some improvements); b) direct input received by its Members under the light of the basic principles: simplicity, transparency, fairness and sustainability, and; c) the results of the benchmark analysis with other standard setters.

In this respect, the SPWG approved two major working lines proposed by the Fee Subgroup, which are currently being carried out. A first one, focused on making some modifications to the current fee model (GDP and GDP per capita); and, a second one, based on variations of the current fee model with the inclusion of parameters such as DIS covered deposits. Moreover, the Fee Subgroup continues to gather comments from Members for the potential inclusion and validation of other parameters.

Next Steps

In coming months, both groups will continue to work hard to consolidate ideas into proposals for the development of the new Strategic Plan 2022-2026 and for the revised Fee Model. These proposals will be submitted to EXCO for approval during the 66th EXCO Meeting. The approved proposals will be used as pillars for establishing the next Strategic Plan to be submitted at the AGM in 2021.

  • Secretariat Report on the Financial Statements for FY 2019/20 Q1 and Q2, and Cash Management Report per 30 September 2020: Review completed and the report was approved by EXCO.

  • IADI Business Plan and Budgets: Reviewed the draft Business Plan 2020/23 and draft Budgets (FY 2020/21 and FY 2021/22). The Business Plan and Budgets were approved at the AGM.

  • The EXCO approved the following application:

    • Arab Monetary Fund (AMF) as a Partner in September 2020
  • Due to the extraordinary circumstances related to Covid-19 pandemic, many IADI in-person events were cancelled or postponed, and are now being provided in a virtual form. Despite this challenging situation for outreach activities across all regions, some potential jurisdictions showed their interests in joining the IADI. The MRC will continue to support efforts to expand and maintain membership of the Association in conjunction with Regional Committees and the Secretariat.  


   Training and Technical Assistance Council Committee (TTAC) - Chaired by Diane Ellis, United States
 

The TTAC in coordination with the Capacity Building Technical Committee (CBTC) and the Training and Capacity Building Unit (TCBU), reports the following activities:

  • Expert Training: The Expert Training Strategy (Strategy), which was approved by the Committee in February 2019, is a proposal to develop a structured program for training IADI Members and their staffs in the Core Principles. The strategy outlines a four-staged process for an IADI Member to gain expertise in the Core Principles and become capable of leading Self-Assessment Technical Assistance Program (SATAP) reviews, supporting TAWs, and supporting or participating in the IMF/World Bank FSAP reviews.

The Core Principles Practitioners Workshop (first stage of the Strategy) Working Group Terms of Reference (ToR) was approved by TTAC in May. The working group subsequently began meeting in September and is in process of building the content for the workshop. IADI expects to hold the first Practitioners Workshop in 2021.

  • IADI SATAP: The SATAP provides an assessment of an IADI Member’s deposit insurance agency (DIA). The purpose of the Program is for the review team to work closely with the DIA to identify gaps in its system relative to IADI Core Principles and outline possible steps to address those gaps.

    The CBTC and the Senior Training and Technical Assistance Advisor (STTAA) received official requests for a SATAP review (including a completed self-assessment) from two jurisdictions. The review team has been formed for one jurisdiction and is moving forward as planned with the offsite work. The other jurisdiction is working with the TCBU to finalize the additional documents required to begin reviewing their submitted self-assessment.

  • In July, TTAC approved the Guidance on Conducting Self-Assessments of Compliance with the Core Principles paper. The purpose of this guidance is to encourage IADI Members to perform a self-assessment of compliance with the IADI Core Principles, and to inform Members of the resources available to help them in this endeavour.

    As an assessment tool, the CPs can be used to identify gaps in the regulations and policies governing deposit insurance systems, and for evaluating the practices of deposit insurers. In addition, self-assessments are a good diagnostic element in preparation for third-party reviews, including IADI SATAP evaluations, peer-reviews and thematic assessments conducted by the FSB, or IMF and World Bank Financial Sector Assessment Program (FSAP) evaluations.

 
 

  Update from the IADI Secretariat Research Unit and the 2020 Annual Survey

  Response to the Covid-19 crisis

The IADI Secretariat and Research Unit (RU) have worked on a number of initiatives in response to recent developments in the global economy relating to Covid-19. A briefing note has been prepared titled “Ensuring Business Continuity and Effective Crisis Management Activities for Deposit Insurers”.

On the 26th of March 2020, IADI distributed a survey to the membership on the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic crisis on their financial sector and the measures taken by regulatory authorities and deposit insurers to address the crisis. A summary of key results from the IADI Covid-19 survey is now available and the full set of Survey responses can be found here.

Additional Covid-19 statistical resources available on the IADI eBIS website include:

  • Results from the Bank Guarantee Fund (Poland) questionnaire to all IADI Members on policy responses to the Covid-19 pandemic crisis.
  • Results from the IADI Asia-Pacific Regional Committee survey of its Members on the topic of Covid-19 implications and responses.

The IADI Research Unit will facilitate a follow up survey on Covid-19, currently scheduled for January 2021.  This survey collection will seek to reveal developments that may have emerged since the initial response of deposit insurers to the Covid-19 pandemic.  A summary of results and full survey data file will be made available to all IADI Members for their benefit.

CP monitoring and compliance assessment

The CPCAA joined the RU in September 2020 and initiated work in areas such as:

  • The development of processes and procedures for implementing a CP thematic assessment programme, a more formalised measure, to monitor, collect and analysis information on Members’ compliance levels of CPs in order to help identify any strengths and gaps in Member deposit insurance systems and obtain a global compliance picture.
  • The programme will complement existing self-assessments, IADI SATAP, FSAPs and other means of assessing gaps between existing and desired outcomes. Results of the new programme will be used to provide input to the CPRC, TTAC and their supporting Technical Committees and help target IADI researches, guidance and training and technical assistance initiatives to assist Members to improve their systems.

  • A draft “Overview of other Financial Sector Standard-Setting Body assessments & IADI Core Principles Compliance Assessment Framework” was completed and presented to TTAC and CPRC for initial comments and feedback in November 2020.

  • A more detailed proposal with proposed assessment methodology and procedures will be presented for review and discussion in Q1 2021.

Research Initiatives

The RU published IADI Brief No. 4 titled Depositor Preference and Implications for Deposit Insurance. This note explores the different types of depositor preference, the advantages and disadvantages of depositor preference and the issues arising in the context of depositor preference that are relevant for deposit insurers.

IADI Brief No. 5 titled The Geographic Dynamics of Deposit Insurance is being reviewed by the CPRC and is expected to be published in early 2021.  Further papers in the series are being prepared, with the next two topics focussing on the potential of machine learning for deposit insurers, along with the evolution of deposit insurer resolution toolkits.

A research plan has been developed for review by the CPRC on determining gaps in deposit insurance reimbursement practices and procedures.  To complement this work, a member survey facilitating the collection of relevant data items is underway.

Other research and policy initiatives in progress by the RU, include a draft paper on digital stored value products (developed jointly with the Alliance for Financial Inclusion).  There has also been considerable engagement with the CPRC and Islamic Financial Services Board on developing IADI Core Principles for Islamic Deposit Insurance Systems.

2021 IADI Research Conference

The International Association of Deposit Insurers (IADI) invites research papers for its Sixth Biennial Research Conference to be hosted by the Bank for International Settlements in Basel, Switzerland and held virtually during the week of 10-14 May 2021.

The theme for the Research Conference is “Navigating the New Normal for Financial Stability, Deposit Insurance and Bank Resolution”.

2020 IADI Annual Survey

The 2020 Annual Survey went live in July 2020. This included an amended questionnaire designed to better capture contemporary issues in global deposit insurance. All IADI Members, Associates, Partners and stakeholders were encouraged to participate in this important exercise. The IADI Annual Survey forms the most comprehensive source of deposit insurance information globally, and is utilised extensively for research initiatives and policy decision making. We extend our appreciation to IADI Members, Associates and Partners for their continued support to the IADI data and research initiatives. Results were published on 30 November 2020.

Overall, the survey results show that jurisdictions continue to strengthen their deposit insurance systems and are moving towards greater compliance with the IADI Core Principles for Effective Deposit Insurance Systems.

To find the details, please see the 15 Key features (available on the IADI public website), full data (eBIS sign-in is required), and the press release.

2020 IADI Chart Pack

The inaugural IADI Chart Pack was published earlier in 2020. This new product offers a snapshot of the key characteristics of deposit insurance systems from around the world.

The IADI Chart Pack is arranged into four themes focusing on deposit insurer structure, coverage and funding, reimbursement and resolution activities, public awareness and financial inclusion.

The full IADI Chart Pack is available on IADI’s website, including French and Spanish translations. Any queries regarding the IADI Chart Pack and deposit insurance database can be addressed to Ryan Defina of the IADI Secretariat Research Unit.

Call for Paper Proposals

The IADI has recently circulated a call for proposals for external research and policy papers. This provides an opportunity for academics and policy makers to submit their research proposals for topics relevant to deposit insurance and financial stability. Selected proposals will receive funding and support from IADI.

 
 

  Update from the IADI Secretariat Training and Capacity Building Unit  

  Expert Training Working Group

During the second semester of 2020, the Expert Training Strategy has shown important results.
