4 1. Some Background a. Theoretical framework (moral hazard market discipline) Limit insurance since: o o o Source of moral hazard (moral hazard - A cost for depositors and taxpayers To encourage market discipline Without a limit, depositors would seek the highest return regardless of risk level and banks would invest in financial instruments with higher risk o Maximize return by risking the most Moral hazard can be limited by offering partial insurance (align incentives)

5 1. Some Background a. Theoretical framework (moral hazard market discipline) When facing a serious financial crisis, it is common for financial authorities to apply an explicit full coverage or even a blanket guarantee in order to calm down financial markets In the event that a bank has liquidity problems, it represents a high cost for depositors not to access their deposits. Hence, they try to anticipate the behavior of other depositors, withdraw their deposits and seek a better bank or start hoarding cash. Experience has demonstrated that limited insurance is not sufficient to protect banks from runs in a weakened financial system

6 1. Some Background b. Core principles. Principle 9 Coverage examination of relevant data credible and internally consistent cover the large majority of depositors public-policy objectives adjusted periodically

10 2. The rule of coverage limits a. Importance of setting the coverage limit right Financial stability Coverage limit Moral hazard Market discipline

11 2. The rule of coverage limits b. How to set it? Start by considering reality Policymakers must gather data on the financial instruments held by the population o Number of accounts, and o Size distribution These data will allow policymakers to determine what proportion of accounts and total deposits would be covered at various levels

12 2. The rule of coverage limits b. How to set it? Appropriate coverage limit One that covers a proportion of depositors and deposits beyond which the benefits accruable to a small number of depositors are negligible A limit that covers at least 80% of depositors and 20% 40% of total deposits* Accounts Amounts * Rule of thumb accepted at the First Annual Conference of the International Association of Deposit Insuresrs in Basel, Switzerland, May 2002.

13 2. The rule of coverage limits c. What is the optimal coverage? If the objective is: To ensure banking stability To protect small depositors and reduce moral hazard High or relatively generous coverage limits are an attractive option Low or less generous coverage limits are preferred Regulation and Oversight

14 2. The rule of coverage limits d. Constraints that Mexico considered to set coverage limits Conditions of the financial system Flow of funds among countries (Mexico US) Financial - legal framework Political conditions A small number of accounts contain a large amount

15 2. The rule of coverage limits e. What are the consequences of exceeding the coverage limit? Blanket coverage Full protection to both depositors and creditors Erodes market discipline Full coverage Protect all depositors 100% Heightens moral hazard

46 5. Final remarks

47 5. Final remarks The establishment of coverage limits an important action for deposit insurance. Setting coverage limits is not an easy job There is no recipe The banking authorities should establish coverage limits of deposit insurance system according to its sensitivity, avoiding incentives to moral hazard and by encouraging market discipline We should investigate the relationship between the coverage limits and premiums or levies, as well as institutions too big to fail.
