The purpose of today’s workshop is to discuss the proposals outlined in the discussion paper that was published on 30 May 2017, which contains the joint views of the SARB and National Treasury on the design features of a possible deposit insurance scheme for South Africa.
The paper deals in detail with all the aspects of the envisaged deposit insurance scheme; these will also be covered in subsequent presentations today, which I do not want to front-run or repeat. Let me just highlight, briefly, the key features of the envisaged scheme.
