Otherwise, the scheme will likely lead to instability, and deter financial development. In weak regulatory environments, policymakers should at least limit deposit insurance coverage. 2014-08-20T21:14:20Z 2014-08-20T21:14:20Z 2001-09 http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/2001/09/1614763/deposit-insurance-financial-development http://hdl.handle.net/10986/19537 English en_US Policy Research Working Paper;No. 2682 CC BY 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo/ World Bank, Washington, DC Publications & Research :: Policy Research Working Paper Publications & Research
