Abstract

According to the Key Principles of Effective Deposit Insurance Systems, an important guarantee of the proper functioning of deposit insurance is the independence of the deposit insurance body. The aim of the study is to develop a scientific and methodological approach to assessing the independence of the Deposit Guarantee Fund. The methods used in the study are the calculation of the composite indicator, the use of scores, analysis and synthesis. The publication formulates the criteria for the independence of the Natural Persons Deposits Guarantee Fund by its components: institutional independence – the term for which the managing director is appointed, the term for which the members of the administrative council are appointed, the requirements for the managing director when appointing to the position, the requirements for the members of the administrative council when appointing to the position, the procedure for appointing the managing director, the procedure for dismissing the managing director, the procedure for appointing members of the administrative council, the procedure for terminating the powers of the members of the administrative council, the conditions for the dismissal of the managing director, the conditions for terminating the powers of the members of the administrative council, the membership of directors in political parties, the ownership of corporate rights by managers; operational independence – regulation-making activities, judicial immunity of the Fund, requirements for avoiding conflicts of interest, prohibition to interfere in the activities of the Fund, international activities of the Fund, access to bank secrecy, administrative powers; financial independence – formation of internal organizational structure, sources of funding, budgeting, financial control procedure. In the context of improving the institutional independence of the Deposit Guarantee Fund, it is proposed to increase the term for which the managing director and members of the administrative board are appointed; to refer the issue of appointment and dismissal of the managing director of the Fund to the competence of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine on the proposal of the President of Ukraine; to regulate the membership of the Fund’s directors in political parties; to include independent members in the administrative board of the Fund. In order to strengthen operational independence, it is important to provide the Deposit Guarantee Fund with the right of legislative initiative, as well as access to bank secrecy. Improving the financial independence of the Deposit Guarantee Fund requires increasing the level of independence of financial control, as well as reducing the risk of non-repayment of the Fund’s debt to the State.
