Circular CSSF-CPDI 25/48
Executive Summary
Circular CSSF-CPDI 25/48 updates the methodology for calculating ex-ante annual contributions to the Fonds de garantie des dépôts Luxembourg (FGDL), Luxembourg's deposit guarantee scheme, specifically for the target levels in Articles 179 and 180 of the Law of 18 December 2015 on the failure of credit institutions and certain investment firms. This matters because it introduces a risk-adjusted contribution model aligned with EBA Guidelines, shifting from purely deposit-based calculations to ones incorporating institution-specific risk factors, potentially increasing contributions for higher-risk banks while promoting stability in the scheme's funding. #

Scores convert to factors where lower risk yiel
