Abstract
The global economic and financial sector crisis of 2008-09 became a stark reminder to countries around the world of the need for an effective process for maintaining the confidence of depositors and resolving troubled financial institutions with the least amount of adverse impact on the financial sector and the community served by the institutions. The role of deposit insurance was highlighted during this difficult time. Nations without a formal system found the need to reassure their citizens by announcing formal government guaranties. Nations with established systems were not immune from the public's concern and as a result many increased the allowable coverage. The Philippines, although somewhat immune from the global crisis, none the less felt the impact of the crisis and responded, as did other countries, by taking steps to address the possible impact of the crisis by bolstering depositor confidence. The Philippines stands out among its Asian neighbors at being in the forefront of deposit insurance. Long before deposit insurance became popular at the peak of the Asian financial crisis of the late 1990's, the Philippines already had an established formal deposit insurance system. The Philippine Deposit Insurance Corporation (PDIC) is a government instrumentality. It was established in June 1963 with the passage of Republic Act (RA) 3591. The role of PDIC at that time was to help build the banking sector by encouraging citizens to save and to deposit those savings in the formal banking system. It was to do this by assuring depositors of the safety of their deposits by providing a government sponsored insurance of up to a P 10,000 per depositor in the event of a bank failure. The underlying motivation was to promote a safe and sound banking system and to foster public confidence in it.

Publication Financial Sector Assessment Program - Albania : Core Principles for Effective Deposit Insurance Systems(World Bank, Washington, DC, 2014-02)This assessment of compliance with the core principles for effective deposit insurance systems (core principles) was conducted as a part of the Financial Sector Assessment Program (FSAP) performed by the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank at the request of the Albanian government. This assessment was conducted by Claire McGuire, Senior Financial Sector Specialist with the World Bank, during a mission to Albania from October 28th to November 11th, 2013. The assessment was based on a review of relevant laws, regulations and regulatory and supervisory practices related to the banking sector and the operations of ADIA. Multiple meetings were held with various employees of the Bank of Albania (BOA), Ministry of Finance (MOF), the Banker's Association, the two savings and credit associations, and ADIA. ADIA completed a self-assessment in preparation for the FSAP.Publication Financial Sector Assessment Program(World Bank, Washington, DC, 2016-01)During September 1-15, 2015 an assessment under the IMF/World Bank Financial Sector Assessment Program (FSAP) was conducted for Montenegro. The mission assessed financial sector risks and vulnerabilities, assessed the quality of financial sector supervision, and evaluated financial safety-net arrangements. As part of the FSAP, the deposit insurance system was assessed against the BCBS-IADI Core Principles for Effective Deposit Insurance Systems (CP) from 2009. The revised IADI CP from 2014, which still have to be adopted by the IMF and the World Bank, have been used as a reference in this assessment. The assessment was conducted by a team of experts from the World Bank and IMF. The assessment has the following main findings: The deposit insurance system in Montenegro is relatively well developed. DPF was established in 2006 and operates under the narrow mandate of a pay-box. It is financed by annual premiums from member banks, supported by a standby credit line with the EBRD and a statutory provision for back-up funding from the government. The current level of funding is sufficient to cover the insured deposits in all small banks. The coverage level is EUR 50,000 per depositor per bank and covers natural and legal persons. With this level, DPF insures 99.26 percent of depositors and 36.38 percent of deposits fully. Since its establishment, DPF has developed much of the infrastructure required to ensure prompt payout of deposits, including payout software to reimburse depositors within fifteen working days after a bank failure and a MoU to support information exchange and coordination with CBM. The deposit insurance system has never been triggered.Publication Serbia Financial Sector Assessment Program Update(Washington, DC, 2009-10)This note focuses on the deposit insurance scheme. An analysis of the Deposit Insurance Agency (DIA) is provided to the extent that it is relevant to the management of the deposit insurance scheme and no detail analysis of the other functions performed by the DIA, e.g. bank resolution, is included. Policy recommendations on the bank resolution are included in the Aide Memoire. DIA revenue sources are volatile and Deposit Insurance Fund (DIF) related revenues are used to subsidize non-DIF related activities. The legal framework is ambiguous as to whether DIF resources can be used to cover running costs of the DIA. To improve transparency and ensure sustainability of the DIF, the legal framework should be amended to clarify the use of DIF resources and cap use for operating costs. The authorities should develop a medium term strategy for the DIA, including a funding strategy for non-DIF related activitiesPublication Moldova Financial Sector Assessment Program(Washington, DC, 2014-09)During February 17 to March 5, 2014 an assessment under the international monetary fund (IMF) and World Bank financial sector assessment program (FSAP) was conducted for the Republic of Moldova. As part of the FSAP, the deposit insurance system was assessed against the Basel committee on banking supervision (BCBS) - International Association of Deposit Insurers (IADI) core principles for effective deposit insurance systems. The team found the deposit guarantee fund (DGF) is compliant or largely compliant with 12 out of 17 applicable core principles, materially non-compliant with 4 core principles and non-compliant with one. This report presents review of the background and structure of the DGF, a review of preconditions for effective deposit insurance systems, a summary of key findings and recommendations, and a section providing the detailed assessment of the core principles.Publication Credit Unions in Poland : Diagnostic and Proposals on Regulation and Supervision(Washington, DC, 2010-12)A new amendment to the Law on Credit Unions (CU) dated November 5, 2009, will pass CU supervision to the Polish Financial Services Authority (PFSA), the body that regulates other financial institutions in Poland. Currently, CUs (also known as SKOKs by their Polish acronym) are regulated under the Credit Union Act of December 14, 1995. In Articles 33-35, the National Association of Credit Unions (NASCU) was given the responsibility to regulate and supervise the CUs. However, the new law is not yet operational, as it is being reviewed by the Constitutional Court and there is no date set for the Court's ruling. The law would come into force within sixty days of the Court's decision confirming that the law is in line with the Constitution. This report provides information on the Polish CU experience, analyzes the new regulatory and supervisory framework created by the new CU Law, and provides recommendations for its implementation. Recommendations are accompanied by relevant experience from other countries.

Publication Supporting Youth at Risk(World Bank, Washington, DC, 2008)The World Bank has produced this policy Toolkit in response to a growing demand from our government clients and partners for advice on how to create and implement effective policies for at-risk youth. The author has highlighted 22 policies (six core policies, nine promising policies, and seven general policies) that have been effective in addressing the following five key risk areas for young people around the world: (i) youth unemployment, underemployment, and lack of formal sector employment; (ii) early school leaving; (iii) risky sexual behavior leading to early childbearing and HIV/AIDS; (iv) crime and violence; and (v) substance abuse. The objective of this Toolkit is to serve as a practical guide for policy makers in middle-income countries as well as professionals working within the area of youth development on how to develop and implement an effective policy portfolio to foster healthy and positive youth development.Publication Zimbabwe(World Bank, Washington, DC, 2019-03-01)This report presents an assessment of Zimbabwe’s agriculture sector disaster risk and management capacity. The findings indicate that Zimbabwe is highly exposed to agricultural risks and has limited capacity to manage risk at various levels. The report shows that disaster-related shocks along Zimbabwe’s agricultural supply chains directly translate to volatility in agricultural GDP. Such shocks have a substantial impact on economic growth, food security, and fiscal balance. When catastrophic disasters occur, the economy absorbs the shocks, without benefiting from any instruments that transfer the risk to markets and coping ability. The increasing prevalence of ‘shock recovery-shock’ cycles impairs Zimbabwe’s ability to plan and pursue a sustainable development path. The findings presented here confirm that it is highly pertinent for Zimbabwe to strengthen the capacity to manage risk at various levels, from the smallholder farmer, to other participants along the supply chain, to consumers (who require a reliable, safe food supply), and ultimately to the government to manage natural disasters. The assessment provides the following evidence on sources of risks and plausible risk management solutions. It is our hope that the report contributes to action by the Government of Zimbabwe to adopt a proactive and integrated risk management strategy appropriate to the current structure of the agricultural sector.Publication World Development Report 2019(Washington, DC: World Bank, 2019)Work is constantly reshaped by technological progress. New ways of production are adopted, markets expand, and societies evolve. But some changes provoke more attention than others, in part due to the vast uncertainty involved in making predictions about the future. The 2019 World Development Report will study how the nature of work is changing as a result of advances in technology today. Technological progress disrupts existing systems. A new social contract is needed to smooth the transition and guard against rising inequality. Significant investments in human capital throughout a person’s lifecycle are vital to this effort. If workers are to stay competitive against machines they need to train or retool existing skills. A social protection system that includes a minimum basic level of protection for workers and citizens can complement new forms of employment. Improved private sector policies to encourage startup activity and competition can help countries compete in the digital age. Governments also need to ensure that firms pay their fair share of taxes, in part to fund this new social contract. The 2019 World Development Report presents an analysis of these issues based upon the available evidence.Publication The Power of Survey Design : A User's Guide for Managing Surveys, Interpreting Results, and Influencing Respondents(Washington, DC: World Bank, 2006)The vast majority of data used for economic research, analysis, and policy design comes from surveys-surveys of households, firms, schools, hospitals, and market participants, and, the accuracy of the estimate will depend on how well the survey is done. This innovative book is both a 'how-to' go about carrying out high-quality surveys, especially in the challenging environment of developing countries, and a 'user's guide' for anyone who uses statistical data. Reading this book will provide data users with a wealth of insight into what kinds of problems, or biases to look for in different data sources, based on the underlying survey approaches that were used to generate the data. In that sense the book is an invaluable 'skeptics guide to data'. Yet, the broad storyline of the book is something that should be absorbed by statistical data users. The book will teach and show how difficult it often is to obtain reliable estimates of important social and economic facts, and, therefore encourages you to approach all estimates with sensible caution.Publication Ten Steps to a Results-Based Monitoring and Evaluation System : A Handbook for Development Practitioners(Washington, DC: World Bank, 2004)An effective state is essential to achieving socio-economic and sustainable development. With the advent of globalization, there are growing pressures on governments and organizations around the world to be more responsive to the demands of internal and external stakeholders for good governance, accountability and transparency, greater development effectiveness, and delivery of tangible results. Governments, parliaments, citizens, the private sector, Non-governmental Organizations (NGOs), civil society, international organizations, and donors are among the stakeholders interested in better performance. As demands for greater accountability and real results have increased, there is an attendant need for enhanced results-based monitoring and evaluation of policies, programs, and projects. This handbook provides a comprehensive ten-step model that will help guide development practitioners through the process of designing and building a results-based monitoring and evaluation system. These steps begin with a 'readiness assessment' and take the practitioner through the design, management, and importantly, the sustainability of such systems. The handbook describes each step in detail, the tasks needed to complete each one, and the tools available to help along the way.
