(OCC32) Transitioning from Blanket to Limited Deposit Guarantees: Thailand Policy Considerations by David Walker and Pongsak Hoontrakul

In the context of Thailands unique banking system structure – highly concentrated in both banks and large depositors – the paper proposes an innovative two-tier hybrid DIS model. A publicly administered compulsory system would provide protection for low coverage level bank deposits similar to the approach adopted by Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) and Canada Deposit Insurance Corporation (CDIC); and a private/public system similar to that used in Germany would provide additional protection for high coverage level bank deposits on voluntary basis. The paper also offers some rule-based check lists policy recommendations and implications.
