Insurers and on behalf of the Philippine Deposit
Insurance Corporation (PDIC), it is with great
pleasure that I invite you to the International Workshop
on Deposit Insurance Fund (DIF) Target Size to be
hosted by PDIC on June 15-18, 2015 at the Shangri-La
Hotel in Makati City, Philippines.
The Workshop aims to present the results of the survey

country experiences related to the subject. We expect

the IADI membership and multilateral institutions.
The Workshop is divided into 3 Sessions. Session 1
features ‘’Setting the Target Fund Size’’ and will present
country cases of selected Deposit Insurance Agencies (DIAs). Session 2 covers the
Administration of Target Fund Size where there will be similar country presentations
of a number of DIAs including a research on proposed model for administration of
target fund. Session 3 highlights other issues related to establishing a target fund
size where invited speakers will cover the following topics: Funding for Failure during
Systemic Crises, Enhanced Guidance on Funding, and Target Fund Size under an
Integrated Protection Scheme. Please refer to the tentative Workshop Agenda for
your information.
In the afternoon of June 17, 2015, PDIC will host the meeting of the IADI SubCommittee on DIF Target Ratio, while on June 18, 2015, there will be a City Tour
