Circular CSSF-CPDI 26/50
Executive Summary
Circular CSSF-CPDI 26/50 mandates a recurring annual survey on the amount of **covered deposits** held as of **31 March 2026** by specified Luxembourg credit institutions, to support the Fonds de garantie des dépôts Luxembourg (FGDL) in meeting Deposit Guarantee Scheme (DGS) requirements under the 2015 Law and DGSD.
