International Affairs

Since 2002, CDIC has, in line with government policy and at the Ministry of Finance’s requirement, participated in activities of the International Association of Deposit Insurers (IADI), becoming a founding member and actively engaging itself in IADI affairs. IADI has membership over 100 with Members representing over seventy percent of jurisdictions with deposit insurance systems. IADI’s role as a standard setter for deposit insurance has been recognized by the Financial Stability Board (FSB), which has incorporated IADI’s Core Principles for Effective Deposit Insurance Systems into the global Compendium of Financial Standards.

Since CDIC joined IADI, in line with national policies, it has enhanced its participation in the Association’s undertakings and research projects. It has also served in various important capacities including as a member of IADI’s Executive Council, the highest level decision-making body in the Association, and as Chair of its Core Principles and Research Council Committee, leading the Committee to develop multiple IADI guidance and research/discussion papers . It also makes all efforts to promote international researches on deposit insurance issues and the formulation of general guidance. In addition, CDIC participated in the development of IADI’s Core Principles for Effective Deposit Insurance Systems in 2009 and its revised version in 2014. CDIC also hosted the 2025 IADI Ad-hoc Executive Council Meeting and Core Principles International Conference, witnessing the approval of the revised IADI Core Principles by the Executive Council, further demonstrating its active contribution to international standard-setting in deposit insurance.

CDIC has actively sought to host international conferences/seminars and various international exchange activities, in order to raise CDIC’s image of professionalism and international recognition. In 2005, CDIC hosted the IADI’s 4^th Annual General Meeting and Conference in Taipei. At the meeting, CDIC was voted as the first recipient of the award for “Deposit Insurance Organization of the Year.” After ten years, in 2015, CDIC hosted the IADI Asia Pacific Regional Committee’s 13^th Annual Meeting and International Conference in Taipei. In April 2024, CDIC hosted the 22nd IADI APRC Annual Meeting and International Conference in Taipei, bringing together over 100 representatives from more than 20 countries to exchange views on strengthening the financial safety net and addressing emerging crisis challenges.
