Deposit insurance has risen rapidly over the last few years across the world. It was brought into renewed prominence with the reform of the system in the United States in the 1980s after the Savings and Loans crisis, and was accelerated by the rash of financial crises that have struck Europe, Asia and South America in recent years. The contributions to this volume strike a fascinating balance between the interest of regulators, the view of academics as to how the issues should be handled, and the interests of banks and their depositors.
