Panel 1 - Preconditions and Their Impact on the Effective Implementation of the Core Principles
The revised IADI Core Principles underscore the importance of jurisdictional circumstances such as institutional environments and macroeconomic conditions. While these conditions are not formally assessed (and there is no corresponding compliance determination), they must be well understood to make a comprehensive assessment of the appropriateness and effectiveness of the design and operation of the deposit insurance system. This panel discussion will examine the framework conditions that influence the overall effectiveness of deposit insurance systems, and the ability of deposit insurers to fulfil their mandates, including characteristics in legal and judicial systems, accounting and disclosure regimes, real and financial sector business conditions, as well as critical elements of the financial safety net, including prudential regulation, supervision, crisis management frameworks for dealing with insured deposit-taking institutions.

Panel 2 - Core Principles Unpacked: Recent Changes and Their Implications for Implementation
This panel will explore the key updates to the Core Principles, focusing on their practical implications for implementations. The revisions introduce aspirational criteria such as expedited reimbursement processes and differential premium systems, strengthening coordination with resolution authorities, and future-proofing standards to accommodate for advancements such as in digital finance, communications, and cybersecurity. Achieving such aspirations in various contexts may require regulatory reforms, continued developments in operational capabilities for deposit insurers, and closer cooperation among financial-safety net participants. This session will provide valuable insights into the expectations for implementing the new Core Principles, including in the context of opportunities provided by digital technologies.

Panel 2 - Core Principles Unpacked: Recent Changes and Their Implications for Implementation
This panel discussion will centre on the key aspects of conducting self-assessments for compliance with the IADI Core Principles. It will draw on lessons learned from jurisdictions that participated in the Core Principles Pilot, showcasing their experiences, strategies for securing buy-in and engaging with other domestic financial safety-net participants, and aligning efforts. The session will also address the specific resource needs of both authorities and assessors in the self-assessment process, while exploring how technology and artificial intelligence can serve as powerful tools to support and enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of these assessments.
