The Bahamas: Technical Assistance Report-Operationalizing the New Bank Resolution Framework and Amended Deposit Insurance Legislation—First Mission, (USA: International Monetary Fund, 2023) accessed December 21, 2024

Summary

The Bahamas has made considerable progress in developing the infrastructure needed for an effective bank recovery and resolution regime. Following recommendations of the 2019 FSAP, the new legislation brought into force in September 2020 provides a reasonably comprehensive legal framework for the resolution of banks, including triggers, legal powers, and safeguards. The amendments to the Protection of Depositors Act in 2020 clarify the DIC’s role and responsibilities within the country’s financial safety net and have expanded its membership to include not only commercial banks, but also credit unions.
