Progress in implementing a Deposit Insurance System in Suriname (DIS)

According to the new banking supervision law that has been approved in November 2011, the Central Bank of Suriname (Bank) has the obligation to set up a DIS within five years in consultation with the credit institutions or their representative organization.

For setting up this system the Bank send a request for TA to the Caribbean Regional Technical Assistance Center (CARTAC). This organization identified Mr. Dave Grace to aid the Bank in developing a DIS. In this regard we had different discussions with the consultant on several issues regarding the preconditions for introducing deposit insurance. The consultant will prepare a policy paper which will be discussed with the stakeholders such as deposit-taking institutions and consumer organizations. To present this paper and receive feedback a seminar will be organized which is scheduled for July 2013.
