					   Since the 90's, 
					the global trend has been the establishment of formal 
					deposit guarantee systems. The rationale behind this trend 
					is authorities' increasing concern with the stability of the 
					financial system. This is reflected in the implementation of 
					additional instruments for monitoring and control, as well 
					as the consequent creation of system protection networks. 
					Ultimate instance loans, efficient regulation and 
					supervision, appropriate legal structures and direct 
					protection to depositors through a guarantee system, are 
					elements of this network designed to maintain a solid, 
					healthy banking system.
