A Historical Perspective on Deposit Insurance Coverage
by Christine M. Bradley Page 1
The author examines the federal deposit insurance program and traces
deposit insurance coverage from its original amount of $2,500 in 1934
through each subsequent increase to the current coverage amount of
$100,000. The article is intended to provide a background for the current
debate on increasing deposit insurance coverage.
The Cost of the Savings and Loan Crisis: Truth and
Consequences
by Timothy Curry and Lynn Shibut Page 26
The authors identify and analyze the cost of providing deposit insurance
during the savings and loan crisis of the 1980s and early 1990s. They
provide a breakdown of the cost into the FSLIC and RTC segments, and
also identify the portions of the cost borne by the taxpayer and by the thrift
industry.
Recent Developments Affecting Depository Institutions
by Lynne Montgomery Page 36
This regular feature of the FDIC Banking Review contains information on
regulatory agency actions, state legislation and regulation, and articles and
studies pertinent to banking and deposit insurance issues.
