Problem of Cyprus Scheme I
Banks can creates credits based upon depositors’ confidence
Banks operates by deposits (=other people’s money)
Investment banks gamble and lose money
In order to maintain confidence, governments usually
put priority on protecting deposits by way of deposits insurance
When a bank fails, shareholders first take loss, then creditors.
Depositors are always asked to take loss last .
In the financial crisis in Japan, all amount of deposits were protected.
Ceiling on the deposits eligible for protection was put only after crisis was over
15
Problem of Cyprus Scheme II
Lack of protection on deposits over certain amount in Cyprus
triggered capital flight from Spain
Dutch finance minister said “Cyprus scheme will be a template”
Capital flight from endangered European countries to USA.
Is this a right move?
No!
Title II of Dodd-Frank Act
Losses of any financial company placed into receivership will not be borne by
taxpayers, but by common (depositors) and ----other unsecured creditors
There is a joint paper by the FDIC and the Bank of England in December 2012
Deposits in US and UK banks would not be protected.
