The International Association of Deposit Insurers (IADI) has published its 2026 work priorities, alongside governance decisions taken at its Annual General Meeting in Lisbon. The General Assembly re-appointed Alejandro López, Chief Executive Officer of Seguro de Depósitos Sociedad Anónima (SEDESA, Argentina), as IADI President and Chair of the Executive Council for a second three-year term and elected 14 Executive Council members. The 2026 programme focuses on practical implementation of the updated Core Principles, responding to digitalisation, and developing a forward-looking strategic framework for the next five years as the 2022–2026 Strategic Plan concludes. Planned Core Principles deliverables include updates to the Handbook for the Assessment of Compliance, work on implementation topics such as crisis management and resolution practices, a centralised platform for sharing deposit insurance laws and regulations, and a new Core Principles training programme. Digitalisation work includes a 2026 roundtable, continued webinars on emerging digital trends, and a research paper on deposit insurers’ role in a digital financial ecosystem, including the treatment of e-money and related financial stability implications. IADI will also expand its annual data collection and deepen engagement with international stakeholders, while formulating Strategic Goals and Objectives for the next five years with support from its eight Regional Committees. Separately, IADI released its 2024 Annual Report, highlighting completion of the Core Principles review, membership expansion, and strengthened collaboration with international stakeholders.
