Deposit Guarantee Schemes (DGSs) are financial institutions whose main aim is to provide a safety net for depositors so that, if a credit institution fails, they will be able to recover their bank deposits up to a certain limit.

Background and objective of the work

The choice of the appropriate size of funds DGSs should set aside is a core topic. OBJECTIVE: develop a procedure to define a target level for the fund. The approach is applied to a sample of Italian banks.

Deposit Guarantee Schemes

KEY CONCEPTS

  • Level of coverage: level of protection granted to deposits in case of failure
  • Eligible deposits: deposits entitled to be reimbursed by DGS
  • Covered deposits: amount of deposits obtained from eligible when applying the

level of coverage HOW DOES A DGS WORK? Banks pay contributions to DGS to fill up the

  • fund. The DGS employs the fund in case of

payout to reimburse depositors. Important to choose an optimal fund size. DGS Banks Depositors

How to build the loss distribution

The procedure to choose the target level relies upon the loss distribution. MAIN STEPS:

  • 1. Estimate banks’ default probabilities from CDS spreads market data and

from financial indicators and calibrate the default intensities of the default time distributions;

  • 2. Draw realizations of the asset value process (firm-value approach);
  • 3. From asset values’ draws compute the corresponding default times;
  • 4. Evaluate the corresponding losses.

Loss distribution: estimate default probabilities (1)

PROBLEM: there is a small sample of banks underlying a CDS contract. SOLUTION: study a relation between risk indicators and default probability and use this relation to enlarge the sample. Attention to the difference between risk-neutral and historical default probabilities! Derived from default probabilities, which are estimated from CDS spreads.

Step 1 – Credit Default Swaps

We assume the default time of the i-th bank ti to be exponentially distributed with intensity parameter li. The term structure of the cumulative risk- neutral default probability: CDS spread: At this stage we make use of the 2006 daily 5Y CDS spreads of 40 EU banks. Recovery rate Ri=40%

Step 2 (a) – Map between PB measures DPP=f(DPQ)

GOAL: build a one-to-one relation between 1-year DPQ and DPP. Associate every rating class with a DPQ and a DPP. DPQ (risk-neutral DP): consider all banks belonging to a common rating class, the DPQ is the average of all banks’ DPQ

i.

DPP (historical DP): from statistics on average cumulative default rates.

Steps 4 and 5 – Estimate DPP and DPQ for the banks’ sample

Using the relationship h(financial indicators), we estimate the DPP; From the DPP we estimate DPQ by inverting the map f. At this stage we turn to the banks’ sample. We assume the default time of the i-th bank ti to be exponentially distributed with intensity parameter li. The term structure of the cumulative risk- neutral default probability:

Loss distribution: generating the loss distribution

For every bank, check if the default time ti is smaller than 1Y. If this is the case, there will be a loss attributable to bank i equal to: where EADi is the amount of covered deposits by bank i. The total loss hitting the Fund is estimated by aggregating individual bank losses.
