IADI Core Principles
› Principle 9 – Sources and Uses of Funds
› Emergency funding arrangements for the deposit system, including prearranged and assured sources of liquidity funding, are explicitly set out (or
permitted) in law or regulation. Sources may include a funding agreement with
the government, the central bank or market borrowing. If market borrowing is
used it is not the sole source of funding. The arrangement for emergency
liquidity funding is set up in advance, to ensure effective and timely access
when required.
