EBA Updates Data On Deposit Guarantee Schemes Across The EEA

Date 10/05/2021

• In 2020, nearly all Deposit Guarantee Schemes (DGS) in the EU, Iceland, Lichtenstein and Norway have increased their available financial means (AFM) for reimbursing depositors in case of bank failures by more than 12%*.
• In the same period, covered deposits in the EEA grew by 8.6%*, which is twice the annual growth rate of the four preceding years.
• The strong increases in covered deposits in the pandemic year raise the likelihood of higher contributions from the industry in the coming years to meet the target level of 0.8% of AFM to covered deposits. This is because despite the increase in DGSs’ AFM, the relative amount of AFM to covered deposits has in aggregate increased only slightly.
