Summary: | During September 1-15, 2015 an
assessment under the IMF/World Bank Financial Sector
Assessment Program (FSAP) was conducted for Montenegro. The
mission assessed financial sector risks and vulnerabilities,
assessed the quality of financial sector supervision, and
evaluated financial safety-net arrangements. As part of the
FSAP, the deposit insurance system was assessed against the
BCBS-IADI Core Principles for Effective Deposit Insurance
Systems (CP) from 2009. The revised IADI CP from 2014, which
still have to be adopted by the IMF and the World Bank, have
been used as a reference in this assessment. The assessment
was conducted by a team of experts from the World Bank and
IMF. The assessment has the following main findings: The
deposit insurance system in Montenegro is relatively well
developed. DPF was established in 2006 and operates under
the narrow mandate of a pay-box. It is financed by annual
premiums from member banks, supported by a standby credit
line with the EBRD and a statutory provision for back-up
funding from the government. The current level of funding is
sufficient to cover the insured deposits in all small banks.
The coverage level is EUR 50,000 per depositor per bank and
covers natural and legal persons. With this level, DPF
insures 99.26 percent of depositors and 36.38 percent of
deposits fully. Since its establishment, DPF has developed
much of the infrastructure required to ensure prompt payout
of deposits, including payout software to reimburse
depositors within fifteen working days after a bank failure
and a MoU to support information exchange and coordination
with CBM. The deposit insurance system has never been triggered. |
