This is a further consultation paper on financial stability and depositor protection in the UK (Cm.7436, ISBN 9780101743624), and follows on from an earlier consultation document published in January (Cm. 7308, ISBN 9780101730822). The Command Paper published in January summarised the actions being taken by the Treasury, the Financial Services Authority and the Bank of England in response to the disruption being experienced in the global financial markets. Five key objectives were set out: (1) Stregthening the stability and reliance of the financial system; (2) Reducing the likelihood of individual banks facing difficulties; (3) Reducing the impact, when banks do experience difficulties; (4) Providing effective compensation arrangements; (5) Strengthening the Bank of England. A full summary of the proposals to meet the above objectives is set out in the first chapter of this follow-up consultation, with the remainder of the document examining the January proposals in detail.

Recent months have seen a period of sustained turbulence and instability in global financial markets, with financial firms across the world affected. In Britain, the Northern Rock bank experienced a run on its deposits. The Government announced a review of the existing supervisory regime, including complex areas such as the legal framework for dealing with banks facing difficulties. This consultation document sets out the views of the Government, the Financial Services Authority (FSA) and the Bank of England, responding to a discussion paper "Banking reform - protecting depositors" (HM Treasury, October 2007, http://www.hm-treasury.gov.uk/media/6/3/consult_bankingreform111007.pdf). This paper also takes into consideration the Treasury Committee's report "The run on the Rock" (5th report session 2007-08, HC 56-I, ISBN 9780215038388). The Government proposes to bring forward legislation to address five key objectives: (1) strengthening the financial system - better risk and liquidity management by banks, and improvements in valuation and credit rating agencies; (2) reducing the likelihood of banks failing - strengthening the supervisory framework and changing framework for provision and disclosure of liquidity assistance; (3) reducing the impact of failing banks - a range of tools to resolve a failing bank, including accelerated transfer of business to a healthy bank, a "bridge bank", and a bespoke banking insolvency procedure; (4) effective compensation arrangements in which consumers have confidence - a potential increase to the compensation limit for deposits, changes to enable the Financial Services Compensation Scheme to make payments within one week of a bank failing; (5) strengthening the Bank of England and improving co-ordination between authorities - retaining the tripartite regime, but giving a statutory basis for the Bank of England's financial stability role, and ensuring better governance arrangement within the Bank, and improving international co-ordination regarding financial stability issues and early warnings on global financial risks.

A well-designed deposit insurance system (DIS) will provide incentives for citizens to keep the financial system sound. However, a poorly designed DIS can foster a financial crisis. This paper, therefore, makes recommendations for creating and running a limited, incentive-compatible, DIS. The paper also examines factors in the decision to grant, temporarily, a comprehensive guarantee, and the design of that guarantee, should a systemic financial crisis nevertheless occur. It concludes with guidance on the removal of that guarantee.

This book examines the changing role of Deposit Guarantee Schemes (DGSs) as a financial safety net of the European Union, with specific emphasis on post-crisis reforms. The author identifies the institutional weaknesses of DGSs and analyses their functioning in post-crisis conditions. Readers discover the extent to which the participation of DGSs in bank resolution increases effectiveness, and whether such enhancement of the financial safety net allows for the liquidation of large financial institutions. Finally, the book identifies, categorises, and analyses possible forms of involvement of DGSs in the EU resolution, as well as the proposal of methods for the quantitative measurement of the preparedness of DGSs to participate in this process.

The resulting high cost of the crisis in terms of lost aggregate income and wealth, and increased unemployment has reinforced the need to improve financial stability within and across countries via changes in traditional microprudential regulation, as well as the introduction of new macroprudential regulations. Amongst the questions raised are:
