The reform proposals discussed in this paper aim to create a more cost-effective approach by either modifying the operation of the deposit insurance funds to reduce the value of the deposit guarantee or altering those regulations of depository institutions that limit portfolio risk to reduce their overall cost. Consideration is given to both the potential effectiveness and practicability of the proposed reforms.
