Financial crisis: Deposit insurance and related financial safety net aspects
Government provision of a financial safety net for banks and other financial
institutions has been a key element of the policy response to the current financial
crisis. In the process, the design of many safety net elements, such as deposit
insurance, has been redrawn in many jurisdictions. In particular, governments
extended existing guarantees and introduced new ones. While these measures did
not address the root causes of the lack of confidence, they were nevertheless
helpful in avoiding a further accelerated loss of confidence, thus buying valuable
time.
