  2. AGENDA • BACKGROUND • FAILURE RESOLUTION • PRACTICAL EXPERIENCE • WAY FORWARD

  3. BACKGOUND • DIB is an institution wholly owned by the Government of Tanzania • Started operations in January, 1994 and is operating under the auscipices of the Bank of Tanzania • Protects deposits of both Tanzania Mainland and Zanzibar • Key responsibility: Manages and Controls Deposit Insurance Fund

  4. BACKGOUND (cont’d….) • DIB is managed by Board of Directors under the Chairmanship of Governor of the Bank of Tanzania • Other members of the BOD are Permanent Secretaries (2) and three appointees of Minister for Finance • Tanzania has had so far four (4) bank failures: two in 1995, one in 1999 and one in 2003.

  5. FAILURE RESOLUTION • Power to seize a bank or financial institution and determination of appropriate failure resolution is vested to the Bank of Tanzania. • After taking possession of a bank or financial Institution the Bank of Tanzania: • Makes inventory of assets and liabilities • Evaluates the capital structure and management

  6. FAILURE RESOLUTION (cont’d…) • Determines whether to restructure, reorganize or liquidate the bank; and • Establishes a plan of resolution based upon any combination of restructuring, re-organization or liquidation of the bank or financial institution that provides for expeditious resolution

  7. FAILURE RESOLUTION (cont’d…) • Where the resolution plan calls for liquidation of the institution, then the Bank of Tanzania may appoint DIB to be a liquidator

  8. PRACTICAL EXPERIENCE • Tanzania so far has experienced four (4) bank failures as follows: • Tanzania Housing Bank (THB) • The first failure was state owned THB in 1995. • THB applied short term deposits to finance long term housing loans which led it to liquidity problem

  9. PRACTICAL EXPERIENCE (cont’d..) • Was closed in 1995 and placed under voluntary liquidation • DIB was not involved and the Government paid all the depositors • Meridian Biao Bank (T) Ltd (MBBTL) • The bank started operations in Tz in 1993 • It was owned by Meridian Biao Group of Cos based in Hamburg.

  10. PRACTICAL EXPERIENCE (cont’d..) • The group suffered huge losses in 1994 which caused market reaction through withdrawal of credit line, and enforcement of collateral. • The group tried to contain this through drawings on foreign exchange from subsidiaries. • As a result, this led to the solvency problems of many African Meridian banks including MBBTL.

  11. PRACTICAL EXPERIENCE (cont’d..) • Bank of Tanzania had to put MBBTL under statutory mgt and the bank was finally taken over by the Standard Bank of South Africa. • It operates in Tanzania now as Stanbic Bank (T) Ltd. • Again, DIB was not involved as Liquidator

  12. PRACTICAL EXPERIENCE (cont’d..) • Greenland Bank (T) Ltd (GBTL) • This was the third failure in Tanzania. • GBTL was licensed to operate in Tanzania in 1995. • It was a subsidiary of Greenland Bank (Uganda) Ltd. • GBTL was put under statutory management in April, 1999 following the closure of the parent bank

  13. PRACTICAL EXPERIENCE (cont’d..) • GBTL was later audited by independent auditors and was found to be insolvent. It was placed under compulsory liquidation and DIB was appointed as a Liquidator. • Liquidation process is still on.

  14. PRACTICAL EXPERIENCE (cont’d..) • Delphis Bank (T) Ltd (DBTL) • DBTL originated from Trust Bank (T) Ltd which was a subsidiary of Trust Bank of Kenya. • The transition started in 2000 when Trust Bank (T) Ltd was purchased by a group of shareholders from Mauritius who changed the name of the bank to DBTL. • In 2002, DBTL ran into problems.

  15. PRACTICAL EXPERIENCE (cont’d..) • Bank of Tanzania played its role and at the end the bank was placed under compulsory liquidation and DIB was appointed as a liquidator in 2003. • DIB in its capacity as a liquidator sold most of the assets to the Federal Bank of Middle East Ltd. • Liquidation process is still going on

  16. WAY FORWARD • Government of Tanzania had requested a technical assistance from IMF that will assist to improve Deposit Insurance and Bank Resolution Regime in Tanzania • The IMF carried out a study and made recommendations which are now under consideration by the relevant authorities. • Among the recommendations is the need to have in place a Special Resolution Regime and early involvement of DIB in bank resolution framework process.
