Note: Classification of economies into "Advanced," "Developing," or "Economies in Transition" is from International Monetary Fund (2000). Deposit insurers without an "X" in either the Yes or No column did not answer the question on the survey or did not provide an answer that was easily categorized as yes or no. ^aBritish Crown Dependency AAR = Association of Austrian Raiffesenbanks AABB = Association of Austrian Banks and Bankers EdB = Entschadigungseinrichtung deutscher banken E = Einlagensicherungs IDPF = Interbank Deposit Protection Fund DPFCB = Deposit Protection Fund for Co-operative Banks
