On May 28, 2015, the EBA published its final
guidelines (EBA/GL/2015/10) on methods for calculating
contributions under the recast DGSD.
Article 13 of the recast DGSD requires contributions to deposit
guarantee schemes (DGSs) from their members to be risk-based. The
guidelines specify the objective and principles for DGS
contributions and provide guidance on specific elements that should
be taken into account in developing and assessing the methods for
calculating risk-based contributions.
The EBA also published its final guidelines (EBA/GL/2015/09) on
payment commitments under the DGSD. Article 10(3) of the recast
DGSD states that the available financial means of a deposit
guarantee schemes (DGSs) may include “payment
commitments”. These are defined as payment commitments of a
credit institution towards a DGS that are fully collateralized,
providing that the collateral consists of low risk assets and is
unencumbered by any third-party rights and is at the disposal
