| Objective of the consultation |
| This consultation intends to gather contributions from the public for the review of the Directive on Deposit Guarantee Schemes (DGS).
DGS reimburse a limited amount of deposits to depositors whose bank has failed. From the depositors' point of view, this protects a part of their wealth from bank failures. From a financial stability perspective, this promise prevents depositors from making panic withdrawals from their bank, hereby preventing severe economic consequences.
In order to ensure greater effectiveness of the Deposit-Guarantee Schemes Directive and to respond adequately to any deficiencies or risks that may have arisen as evidenced in the current financial crisis, the Commission has to submit a report and if appropriate, legislative proposals by the end of 2009.
