The fund backing New Zealand's incoming depositor compensation scheme is going to be small, it's going to take a long time to reach its target level, and the lack of depositor preference in the scheme is a mistake, according to a deposit insurance expert.Geof Mortlock, an international financial regulatory consultant who does work for the International Monetary Fund and World Bank specialising in financial system stability, resolution of bank failures and deposit insurance, spoke about the depositor compensation scheme in a new episode of interest.co.nz's Of Interest podcast.The scheme, expected to be launched in mid-2025, will provide protection of up to $100,000 per eligible depositor, per licensed bank, building society, credit union and deposit taking finance company, in the event of deposit taker failure. Finance Minister Nicola Willis has decided the fund backing the scheme, to be funded through levies paid by deposit takers, will be built up over 20 years to a size equivalent to 0.8% of protected deposits, or about $1 billion.Mortlock says other countries typically have a fund size equivalent to between about 1% and 4% of protected deposits, and he recommends taking about 10 years to build the fund up to its target level.He says the NZ scheme would likely be used for the failure of a non-bank deposit taker or small bank, but wouldn't be sufficient for the failure of a medium-sized or big bank, the failure of which would require "alternative mechanisms." Nonetheless Mortlock says it is worth having the scheme."I think it's definitely worth having because there are quite a sizable number of small deposit takers out there. And at some stage, one of them is going to fail. Hopefully not for a long time. But statistically, if you look around the world, there are occasional bank failures, and most of them tend to be small.""For a small deposit taker or a medium sized one, I think having a deposit insurance scheme is really important, and I think it helps in two ways. It reduces the risk of what we call interbank contagion, where one failure can trigger multiple runs across the banking system. And secondly, it helps to reduce the risk for the taxpayer, because it means that there is a dedicated fund paid in by deposit takers and therefore [this] reduces the need for government funding," says Mortlock."But for a large bank failure, it is not going to be sufficient. And if you look around the world for a large bank failure, deposit insurance funds are not typically used anyway."An option for a larger bank failure is the Reserve Bank's Open Bank Resolution (OBR) Policy. In the podcast Mortlock explains why he thinks it would be "potentially catastrophic" for the Reserve Bank to use OBR, and he doesn't think a Finance Minister would allow them to.In the podcast he also talks about what other resolution options could be for a large bank failure, what products the scheme will cover, the impact deposit takers paying a levy may have on deposit rates, how the Reserve Bank should administer the scheme, bail-in, depositor preference and more.Under depositor preference, depositors rank ahead of other secured creditors in a liquidation. Mortlock says it helps reduce the risk of runs on banks, and facilitates bail-in whereby unsecured liabilities such as bonds may be written down or converted into equity in the event of a bank failure.At the moment, with OBR, NZ is "about the only jurisdiction I can think of outside of some dubious ones, which would apply a haircut to deposit liabilities and no depositor preference," Mortlock says."So if you're a wholesale depositor in a bank and the banking system is looking shaky, and you know that the OBR is out there and could be triggered, what are you going to do? I think you're going to do a preemptive run. And what would that do? That would almost certainly mean that the [Reserve Bank] Governor, joined by the Minister of Finance, would have to say, a, we're not doing OBR, and b, we are putting in place a temporary guarantee of all wholesale deposits. Just the opposite of what you would want to have to do. So I think it is a foolish policy, OBR, and made even more foolish by the absence of depositor preference."*You can find all episodes of the Of Interest podcast here.
‘We expect a lot more competition and we think customers are now going to go to the innovative banks that give them the better deals, not just the big ones': Michael Jordaan, co-founder and chairman of Bank Zero.
The South African Reserve Bank (SARB) says South African bank account holders may rest assured that their deposits are safe in their accounts. This comes as the central bank launched the Corporation for Deposit Insurance (CODI) in Johannesburg. CODI is a subsidiary of the Reserve Bank that will work with other financial sector players to protect depositors in the unlikely event that their bank fails and is placed into curatorship. Nothando Magudulela reports...

Kia ora,Welcome to Monday's Economy Watch where we follow the economic events and trends that affect Aotearoa/New Zealand.I'm David Chaston and this is the international edition from Interest.co.nz.And today we lead with news the timing of the next policy rate moves are top of mind in both the US, and New Zealand.But first in the week ahead, the spotlight in the US will be on the debt ceiling negotiations, FMOC meeting minutes, and several Fed speeches. Additionally, investors will be closely monitoring data on personal income and spending, PCE prices, the second estimate of GDP growth, corporate profits, durable goods orders, services and manufacturing PMIs, as well as new and pending home sales.More generally, fresh May PMIs are anticipated for the UK, Australia, the EU, Japan, France, and Germany. Finally, inflation rates for the UK and South Africa will be released, and monetary policy decisions are awaited for China, South Korea, Indonesia, Turkey, South Africa, and of course from the RBNZ on Wednesday.There are now just 20 weeks until the October 14 election. There is an RBNZ MPS on Wednesday, and another on August 16 just 60 days ahead of the election. There are interim rate reviews on July 12 and October 4. Almost certainly the RBNZ would not move rates on October 4 because of the risk of being seen to influence the election. They might feel uncomfortable on August 16 for the same reason. Assuming those two dates are off the table and there is no big immediately pressing issue, the only opportunities to adjust rates until the post-election MPS on November 29, are on Wednesday and July 12. If their judgement is that Budget 2023 adds to inflationary pressures, the Wednesday MPS reassessment is the most likely time they will pull the trigger. A bit more than +35 bps is priced in, so the markets are unsure whether we are facing +25 bps or +50 bps on Wednesday. More here.In China, their currency continues its devaluation, falling well past 7 to the US dollar, and now up to 4.43 to the NZD. From the start of April, the Chinese yuan has devalued -2.3%. Against the NZD the devaluation is -3.0%. It may have been more if it hadn't raced to put in place direct deals with many developing countries, oil exporters, and Russia. These effectively hide demand and supply transactions from the open market. That opacity is holding the yuan from falling further. At some point the non-Chinese traders will tire of having a discount imposed on them.And it isn't helping that foreign buyers seem to be shunning the important Canton Trade Fair this year.And as a marker for healthy economic activity, we should note that China's income tax take is declining in 2023.Japanese inflation came in at 3.5% in April, well above the expected +2.5% and above March's 3.2%. Japanese inflation is settling in above the Bank of Japan's 2% target rate. That's twelve consecutive months higher than that target.In the US, the debt level negotiations push on towards a critical point; the first or second week of June is when the taps run dry and a shutdown is most likely. After a theatrical pause, negotiations are underway again, and Biden and McCarthy will meet tomorrow.Fed Chair Powell said that because of stress in the banking sector, it might be unnecessary to raise rates to curb inflation. Other Fed speakers chimed in with a pause view as well.In Canada, data for March retail sales was weak coming in only +2.4% higher in value terms than year ago levels but falling from February levels. In Europe, they are assessing what lessons can be learned from the Credit Suisse meltdown and the recent American regional banking wobbles. The issue seems to be that large uninsured deposits flee at first signs of trouble, and the size of these shifts accentuates the problem. Having a limit on insured deposits 'causes' this problem. It's not protection of depositors that is now the issue, it is protection of overall financial stability.German producer price inflation rose +4.1% in April from a year ago, the smallest increase since April 2021. The annualised rate between March and April was even lower.Over the weekend there were elections in Greece, which is coming out of a twelve year crisis during which most Greeks endured substantial hardship. In Australia, they are feeling left out of inbound travellers from China. There were 26,810 short-term visitors from China in March compared to 124,370 in March 2019. This semi-official snub has a flow-on impact on New Zealand where only 7119 short-term visitors from China arrived here compared to 41,063 in March 2019. China may be punishing Australia, but we get blowback too.And Australia has decided how it will regulate Buy Now Pay Later schemes. They will be regulated under credit laws and companies in the sector will have to determine that products are suitable for their users under their responsible lending obligations. Those firms will be required to hold an Australian credit licence. These moves are likely to by shadowed in New Zealand at some point.The UST 10yr yield starts today at 3.69%, the same as where we were Saturday but up +25 bps for the week. The price of gold will start today at US$1978/oz and up +US$2 from Saturday, but down -US$33 for the week.And oil prices are marginally firmer from where we left them Saturday to be just under US$72/bbl in the US. The international Brent price is still just over US$75.50/bbl. These levels are +$1.50/bbl higher than this time last week.The Kiwi dollar is little-changed against the USD from Saturday and now just on 62.7 USc. But that is up +¾c in a week. Against the Aussie we are little-changed at just over 94.4 AUc. Against the euro we are unchanged at 58.1 euro cents. That means the TWI-5 is up to 71.3 and no change from Saturday.The bitcoin price is unchanged today, now at US$26,885 and little changed from both Saturday and one week ago.

John Heltman, Washington Bureau Chief of American Banker, tackles the many policy questions resulting from the failure of First Republic Bank. He also discusses three regulatory reports examining two failures in March—and another report detailing how the FDIC wants to revamp deposit insurance.
Kia ora,Welcome to Tuesday's Economy Watch where we follow the economic events and trends that affect Aotearoa/New Zealand.I'm David Chaston and this is the international edition from Interest.co.nz.And today we lead with news deposit insurance and financial stability are getting involved in an unhealthy mixBut first up, in the US there were the two competing PMIs for April released overnight. The closely-watched local one recorded a contraction, although less than expected and less than in March. The internationally benchmarked one recorded a small expansion after a minor contraction in March. Both suggested price pressures are not yet easing.And we should note that JPMorgan Chase was the 'winner' in the FDIC auction to take over the failed First Federal Bank. They beat out two other bidders (PNC and Citizens Bank). Meanwhile, regulators are reviewing their deposit insurance scheme, one that was found wanting during the recent turmoil. Rather than protecting deposits to a limit, they face having to expand it to some sort of unlimited version. Interestingly, financial markets have shrugged of worries about bank health.The RBNZ is due to institute a deposit guarantee scheme here, so they will no doubt be assessing what lessons they can draw from all this. The world is shifting to a policy trap where no-one can get hurt from risks that go bad.The Canadian PMI was out overnight too and recorded a tiny expansion with price pressures not easing.In Japan, their PMI is neither expanding for contracting which is an improvement from March. New order levels are firmish. But price pressures are being passed on.South Korea, their export engine is stuttering, extending a long decline to seven straight months. The pullback was led by a persistent slump in the semiconductor sector in the face of a global economic slowdown.China is still on on its Golden Week holiday. Some financial businesses will start returning on Thursday. Travel volumes on the first day of this holiday were reportedly strong. But in commodities markets, prices for most raw materials are still retreating as confidence China will build back better evaporates.In India, their factory PMI rose to a good expansion with increases in new orders and output.In Australia, their factory PMI has declined further and is now contracting, capping almost three years of retreat. New order levels are declining faster.Australian job ad levels fell again, now well off their peak. But the April slip was less than earlier months.And staying in Australia, all eyes will be on their central bank and their monthly rate review, due at 4:30pm NZT today. No change is expected from the current 3.6% level, even though their inflation remains high and sticky at well over 6%. The RBA has been under severe political attack in Canberra, with substantial reforms planned for it. But so far their Governor is holding his course through these storms. The political pressure is to lower the policy rate levels to give highly-leveraged households debt-payment relief despite the unusually high level of inflation. And arguably the relatively low current policy interest rate is helping fuel a renewal of higher house prices. They are in a kind of no-man's land, policy-wise.We should also probably note that Australia will essentially ban vaping, limiting it to prescriptions for legitimate therapeutic use, and calling it a menace to children and public health.The UST 10yr yield starts today at 3.58%, and up a very sharp +15 bps from this time yesterday. The price of gold will start today at US$1982/oz and down -US$9 from day-ago levels.And oil prices have fallen -US$1 from yesterday to be just under US$75.50/bbl in the US. The international Brent price is just under US$79/bbl. Yesterday's weak Chinese PMI data is undermining this price.The Kiwi dollar is little-changed against the USD and now at 61.7 USc. Against the Aussie we are -½c softer at 93 AUc. Against the euro we are up marginally at 56.2 euro cents. That means the TWI-5 is now at 69.8 and actually little-changed since this time yesterday.The bitcoin price is lower today, down to US$28,297 and -4.5% lower than this time yesterday. Volatility over the past 24 hours has been moderate at +/- 2.9%.You can find links to the articles mentioned today in our show notes.You can get more news affecting the economy in New Zealand from interest.co.nz.Kia ora.

There's been a lot of interest in the topic of bank runs lately, and in today's episode, we take a look at the most relevant research to help us better understand why they happen and how they can be avoided. Our conversation unpacks the 2022 Nobel prize-winning work of Douglas Diamond and Philip Dybvig and examines the three primary risks that banks need to navigate to avoid a bank run related crisis. We discuss the immense value that banks provide and how they keep the economy moving, before reflecting on how their most valuable services are inexorably tied to the risk of bank runs. You'll also learn about the role of the media in triggering a bank run, and how the problems that arise with bank runs can be addressed through a combination of deposit insurance, bank regulation, and a diverse customer base — all of which are designed to keep depositors from panicking simultaneously. We also revisit a past conversation with Jonathan Clements, before catching up with him in real time to discuss his new book My Money Journey: How 30 People Found Financial Freedom - and You Can Too. Tune in for an in-depth look at bank runs, the value of writing your money story, and a timely reminder that when you're making a deposit, you're actually lending money to the bank.

Federal deposit insurance is at the heart of FDIC's mission. But who is protected and what products are covered by deposit insurance? FDIC's Chief of Deposit Insurance Martin Becker answers some of the frequently asked questions about what deposit insurance is…and what it isn't.
New Zealand is poised to end its role as an international outlier when it comes to deposit insurance.The Deposit Takers Bill is expected to be introduced to Parliament in the third quarter of this year. Included within it are proposals for a depositor compensation scheme to cover bank depositors in the event of bank, or non-bank deposit taker such as a building society, failing. Depositors will be covered for a total of $100,000 per institution, per depositor.Speaking in interest.co.nz's Of Interest Podcast, Geof Mortlock explains what deposit insurance is and what its objectives are.Mortlock is an international financial regulatory consultant who undertakes work for the International Monetary Fund and World Bank, specialising in financial system stability, resolution of bank failures, deposit insurance and related matters. Mortlock also explains why it has taken NZ so long to adopt deposit insurance. According to the International Association of Deposit Insurers, at least 145 jurisdictions have some form of explicit deposit insurance.Additionally he talks about the $100,000 limit, how the deposit insurance fund will be established including how much this will cost and what this is likely to mean for the interest rates depositors are paid.Mortlock also talks about which products are likely to be insured, or covered by the scheme, and which are unlikely to be, whether a depositor preference regime should be introduced in the event of a bank failure, how the Crown's deposit insurer should operate, and more.The Reserve Bank expects the Deposit Takers Bill to be passed into law in mid-to-late 2023, with a depositor compensation scheme expected to be up and running in early 2024.

Ok an excellent topic from the banking space you need to now about is Deposit Insurance. So we’re gonna talk about it briefly. Let’s go!
At an event last week to mark the payment of over ₹1,300 crore to depositors in troubled cooperative banks, Prime Minister Narendra Modi flaunted his government's revamped deposit insurance scheme. The scheme, which was upgraded through the Deposit Insurance and Credit Guarantee Corporation (DICGC) Amendment Bill, 2021, guarantees to compensate depositors up to a limit of ₹5 lakh within a period of 90 days from when a bank fails. At the same event, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) Governor Shaktikanta Das warned depositors to be careful and avoid investing in risky banks just because they offer higher returns. Here we discuss whether we need insurance for bank deposits.

In this episode of the DeFi Download, Piers Ridyard interviews Hannes Graah, founder of the Gro Protocol. Their conversation focuses on the inner workings of Gro and its products, PWRD, Vault and Labs, and how they offer both leveraged yield as well as deposit security.Gro is a DeFi protocol that facilitates generating yield on stablecoins. Gro's main product options are PWRD, a stablecoin with a substantial amount of collateral backing for protection, or Vault, which provides leveraged yield within the DeFi ecosystem. Vault is a token representation (Gro Vault Token or GVT) of stablecoin yield farming activities on the Gro Protocol. It is not a stablecoin itself. It is designed to be a long-term, high-yielding, high-risk investment that requires no upkeep from its holders.PWRD, on the other hand, is a low-risk savings product. It offers more secure access to DeFi yields, and it is tokenised as a stablecoin with built-in yield and protection via Risk Balancer. Risk Balancer gives Gro protocol a systemic view of protocol and stablecoin exposure and allows for decentralised and user-driven portfolio rebalancing.00:00 Intro0:49 What exactly is the Gro Protocol, and how does it work?

The Nigeria Deposit Insurance Corporation says it was reviewing its approach for determining the premium by banks to its Deposit Insurance Fund with a view to adopting a risk-based approach. Managing Director of NDIC, Mr Bello Hassan explained NDIC had commenced the review of its approach to the determination of premium/contribution by banks to our DIF to a more risk-based approach to ensure that, the probability of the risk crystallising becomes a major factor in the pricing methodology of our premium going forward.” The NDIC, in calculating premiums from deposit money banks, usually chose between adopting a flat-rate premium or a system that sought to differentiate premiums on the basis of individual-bank risk profiles.

In part two of this special episode of the FDIC Podcast, we continue our historical look back on the financial crises that shaped how our banking and financial systems operate today. Art Murton, Deputy to the Chairman for Financial Stability, picks up where we left off in part one —the collapse of the nation's savings and loans in the 1980s.
In a two-part episode of the FDIC Podcast, we take a trip down memory lane to recall some of the recent (and not so recent) financial crises, how we recovered from those disruption, and what that means for us today. In his more than 35 years at the FDIC, Art Murton, Deputy to the Chairman for Financial Stability, has seen it all. Since joining the agency as an economist in 1986, Art has had a front row seat for all the ups and downs in the banking and financial sectors.
Across the United States, Security Deposits tie up over $45 Billion dollars a year in non-interest-bearing accounts, and neither the landlord or the renter benefits from these funds while they're just sitting there. The security deposit is meant to protect the landlord from any damages caused by the renter, but often when it comes to serious damage the landlord will have to take the tenant to court to get paid and often does not recoup the time, money and effort that this process requires. There is an alternative to security deposits that some states are just beginning to recognize as legal. The concept of Security Deposit Insurance has been gaining momentum over the past several years, and my guest today is going to explain how it works to the landlord and renter's benefit. Paraag Sarva is the co-founder of Rhino, the leading security deposit insurance provider in the U.S. and he's spent 10 years as a landlord in the New York metro area with over 250 units. Today we're going to discuss the disruptive nature of Security Deposit Insurance, how it works, the costs and benefits, and whether or not you or your property manager can provide this at your properties.

We'll find out more today about the government's plans for a deposit insurance scheme.At the moment, there's no safety net, if you have money in a bank that collapses, you could lose the lot.It's expected we'll see a scheme to protect $50,000 in savings for each bank you're saving with.David Tripe, a banking expert from Massey University, spoke with Tim Dower.“This is going to be much better, better organised and will avoid some of the failings that the earlier scheme had.”LISTEN ABOVE
When a bank fails, the Deposit Insurance and Credit Guarantee Corporation compensates depositors up to Rs 5 lakh. Here’s how the process works.
In the previous episode, we have been acquainted with PIDM and the roles they play in making sure we can sleep slightly better at night, in the event something bad happens to our banks. But as the custodian of our deposits, how exactly do they insure our money and compensate us? How much can we actually claim from PIDM? Sarina Ariffin, Deputy General Manager from the Communication and Public Affairs Division, PIDM joins us to talk about the Deposit Insurance System (DIS), and answer those questions.

Saurabh Mittal speaks every day on Personal Finance on Radio One 94.3 Mumbai.
After the Punjab and Maharashtra Cooperative Bank (PMC Bank) scam dragged down the confidence of depositors, there was pressure on the government to increase the insurance cover which was static since 1993. Though the deposit insurance cover cap has been raised, there are enough people voicing their concern on social media.
Large urban co-operative banks (UCBs) are expected to come under the provisions of the Banking Regulation (BR) Act, even as the smaller ones among them are to remain within the exclusive fold of the Registrar of Co-operative Societies (RoCS). However, banks falling below the threshold of Rs 20,000 crore suggested by the Rama Subramaniam Gandhi committee may also be brought under the banking regulation act. Besides, one of the sources mentioned that the Dual regulation will go, adding “the nodal ministry for urban co-operative banks is the Ministry of Agriculture, and you will see inputs coming in from state governments as well.” The upcoming changes will bring down the curtains on the vexed issue of dual control of UCBs, which has been in vogue for 54 years. Earlier, it was up to the banks to decide whether they wanted conversion or remain a multi-state urban cooperative. But the panel did warn them about curbing their freedom. This means, the larger UCBs — largely multi-state in nature — and above a certain threshold may now have no option but to convert into a scheduled commercial bank over a period of time. A conversion into a small finance bank (SFB) is ruled out, given the inherent restrictions under the licence terms, which place restrictions on the ticket size of loans, and the nature of businesses they can undertake. So, what happens when a co-operative bank is converted into a commercial bank? Well, these banks (UCBs) came to be within the ambit of the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) when certain provisions of the Banking Regulation Act were extended to them — effective March 1966 — even as the Registrar of Co-operative Societies remained vested with significant powers regarding the functioning of their boards and management. But, in the revised scheme, the inspection of the urban co-operative banks solely under the Banking Regulation Act will be done by the central bank, with those of others being carried out by the Registrar of Co-operative Societies. Both categories of urban co-operative banks will get cover from the Deposit Insurance and Credit Guarantee Corporation. And the hike in the deposit insured, which is in the works, will also be extended to them. Besides, the new framework will affect 1,551 urban co-operative banks in the country, which had a total business of Rs 7.36 trillion. According to the last consolidated number available in the RBI’s Report on Trend and Progress of Banking in India 2017-18 they have deposits of Rs 4.56 trillion and advances of Rs 2.80 trillion in 2017-18. In a nutshell, urban co-operative banks, which are to come fully under the BR Act, will be subject to Basel III guidelines like commercial banks — as on date, they are under the dated Basel I. And these banks can be expected to get a transition period to comply with the same. To know more, listen to this podcast...

Mobile Money customers can rest easy as the Nigeria Deposit Insurance Corporation (NDIC) has included mobile money operators in its insurance coverage. Mr Ibrahim said the corporation provides insurance coverage for depositors of deposit money banks, non-interest banks and primary mortgage banks who will be reimbursed up to a maximum limit of N500,000 while microfinance bank depositors would be reimbursed up to a maximum limit of N200,000. The NDIC, whose function, according to the NDIC Act 2006, is to serve as an insurer of deposits for financial institutions so that in the event of failure, the depositors don’t lose all their savings, said the Central Bank licensed 23 Mobile Money Operators and as at June, the number of Mobile Money subscribers stood at over 9.2 million people. Meanwhile, the NDIC periodically reviews the insured limits through its board to ensure that the majority of depositors are covered. The establishment of the NDIC can be attributed to the renewed confidence of depositors in the quality of the Nigerian financial system.--- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/newscast-africa/support --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/newscast-africa/support Learn more about your ad choices.

Concerns over banks’ deposit insurance cover have increased lately, especially in view of the recent crisis at the Punjab and Maharashtra Co-operative Bank, or PMC. Now the question is how the Reserve Bank will build a better cushion for bank customers and also meet the increasing demand for capital. For one, the RBI has decided that deposit insurance cover needs to be raised. It has told its subsidiary, the Deposit Insurance and Credit Guarantee Corporation, to create a risk-based system for collecting premiums from banks to cover the deposit insurance of customers.

FDIC officials describe how the FDIC finances it’s mission to protect insured depositors and resolve failed banks through the Deposit Insurance Fund. They also talk about the challenges to the Fund during the crisis and post-crisis reforms to strengthen the Fund.
In this week's Director's Cut of ‘The Sound of Economics' podcast, Bruegel director Guntram Wolff talks with Nicolas Véron, senior fellow at Bruegel, about the implementation of a European Deposit Insurance Scheme (EDIS), one of the three pillars needed for the completion of banking union. Significant progress has been made on European banking supervision and resolution schemes, but the debate on a common framework for deposit insurance has remained stuck since the first consistent proposal in 2012. Member States are currently enjoying their own deposit insurance system, an example of financial fragmentation through the various national differentiations of policy instruments. The Cyprus case highlights the flaws of a national-level system, based only on a presumption of financial assistance between Member States in case of bail-out. The financial crisis has proven this is not sufficient. Referring to his own research, Nicolas Véron, senior fellow at Bruegel, recommends strengthening trust by setting up a fully integrated, country-blind deposit insurance system to break the vicious circle of the linkage between banks and sovereign debt. In this episode of ‘The Sound of Economics', Nicolas Véron joins Bruegel director Guntram Wolff to debate the implementation and advantages of such a common system, aiming in the long-term at the completion of a harmonised banking union.
It's been almost 2 decades since the central bank moved to clean up the country's private banks. Back then, Cambodia didn't have a single ATM. Today, branches with ATMs are common in provincial areas, deposits have increased, and credit has grown quickly. Minimum capital requirements have been raised. And in a country where cash was once king, electronic payments are now widespread. With an extremely young population, Cambodia has seen the numbers of bank depositors grow enormously in recent years. Most are too young to remember the three bank closures of 1999. And, unlike their parents or grandparents, many young Cambodians are wary of keeping their savings in gold or in cash at home under the bed. The move toward deposit insurance in Cambodia is being spearheaded by Naoyuki Yoshino, dean of the Tokyo-based Asian Development Bank Institute, which provides input to policy makers in member countries.

George Selgin vs. Josh Barro at the Soho Forum.
This week, the latest GDP figures revealed that the UK economy continues to grow faster than expected, despite the vote to leave the European Union. In fact, in 2016, the UK economy grew faster than any of the other G7 industrialised countries. But will these good times last? Earlier this month, the prime minister, Theresa May, announced that she intended to leave both the EU's single market and customs union. It was just such a scenario that led to some of the bleakest economic forecasts before the referendum vote. However, economists who argued for a vote to leave the EU are generally sanguine about the future, believing the EU had become a barrier to further economic growth. What should the UK look for in negotiations with the remaining member states of the EU? In any event, are things really so rosy? At a time when all the major economies are struggling, are the latest growth figures a sign of a robust economy or do they simply leave the UK as, temporarily at least, the strongest of an increasingly feeble bunch? Are there more fundamental questions to be asked about the possibilities for creating wealth for everyone in the future, like questioning the poor productivity of the UK economy? Are questions about our relationship with Europe really just a sideshow to more deep-rooted problems?

Charles Calomiris of Columbia Business School talks with EconTalk host Russ Roberts about the financial crisis. Calomiris argues that it is important to put the crisis in historical perspective in the context of other bank crises. He argues that bank crises differ widely across time and place--some times and some places are placid, others are prone to regular crises. Calomiris argues that frequent episodes of failure are tied to government guarantees such as various forms of deposit insurance or similar incentives for risk-taking. Looking at the current crisis, Calomiris indicts "too big to fail," the government's reliance on ratings agencies as a measure of risk, and poor corporate governance as the key causes.
