A. Key Statistics

FDIC EXPENDITURES 2001 – 2010

The FDIC's Strategic Plan and Annual Performance Plan provide the basis for annual planning and budgeting for needed resources. The 2010 aggregate budget (for corporate, receivership, and investment spending) was $4.0 billion, while actual expenditures for the year were $3.4 billion, about $1.1 billion more than 2009 expenditures.

Over the past decade, the FDIC's expenditures have varied in response to workload. During the last two years, expenditures have risen, largely due to increasing resolution and receivership activity. To a lesser extent, increased expenses have resulted from supervision-related costs associated with the oversight of more troubled institutions.

Estimated Insured Deposits and the Deposit Insurance Fund, December 31, 1934, through December 31, 2010

Dollars in Millions (except Insurance Coverage)

1. The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (Dodd-Frank Act) temporarily provides unlimited coverage for noninterest-bearing transaction accounts for two years beginning December 31, 2010. Coverage limits do not reflect temporary increases authorized by the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008. Coverage for certain retirement accounts increased to $250,000 in 2006. Initial coverage limit was $2,500 from January 1 to June 30, 1934. back
2. Beginning in the fourth quarter of 2010, estimates of insured deposits include the Dodd-Frank Act temporary unlimited coverage for noninterest-bearing transaction accounts. Prior to 1989, figures are for the Bank Insurance Fund (BIF) only and exclude insured branches of foreign banks. For 1989 to 2005, figures represent sum of the BIF and Savings Association Insurance Fund (SAIF) amounts; for 2006 to 2010, figures are for DIF. Amounts for 1989 - 2010 include insured branches of foreign banks. Prior to year-end 1991, insured deposits were estimated using percentages determined from June Call and Thrift Financial Reports. back

Income and Expenses, Deposit Insurance Fund, from Beginning of Operations, September 11, 1933, through December 31, 2010

Dollars in Millions

1. Figures represent only BIF-insured institutions prior to 1990, BIF- and SAIF-insured institutions from 1990 through 2005, and DIF-insured institutions beginning in 2006. After 1995, all thrift closings became the reponsibility of the FDIC and amounts are reflected in the SAIF. The effective assessment rate is calculated from annual assessment income (net of assessment credits), excluding transfers to the Financing Corporation (FICO), Resolution Funding Corporation (REFCORP) and FSLIC Resolution Fund, divided by the four quarter average assessment base. The effective rates from 1950 through 1984 varied from the statutory rate of 0.0833 percent due to assessment credits provided in those years. The statutory rate increased to 0.12 percent in 1990 and to a minimum of 0.15 percent in 1991. The effective rates in 1991 and 1992 varied because the FDIC exercised new authority to increase assessments above the statutory minimum rate when needed. Beginning in 1993, the effective rate was based on a risk-related premium system under which institutions paid assessments in the range of 0.23 percent to 0.31 percent. In May 1995, the BIF reached the mandatory recapitalization level of 1.25 percent. As a result, BIF assessment rates were reduced to a range of 0.04 percent to 0.31 percent of assessable deposits, effective June 1995, and assessments totaling $1.5 billion were refunded in September 1995. Assessment rates for the BIF were lowered again to a range of 0 to 0.27 percent of assessable deposits, effective the start of 1996. In 1996, the SAIF collected a one-time special assessment of $4.5 billion. Subsequently, assessment rates for the SAIF were lowered to the same range as the BIF, effective October 1996. This range of rates remained unchanged for both funds through 2006. As part of the implementation of the Federal Deposit Insurance Reform Act of 2005, assessment rates were increased to a range of 0.05 percent to 0.43 percent of assessable deposits effective at the start of 2007, but many institutions received a one-time assessment credit ($4.7 billion in total) to offset the new assessments. On December 16, 2008, the FDIC Board of Directors (the “Board”) adopted a final rule to temporarily increase assessment rates for the first quarter of 2009 to a range of 0.12 percent to 0.50 percent of assessable deposits. On February 27, 2009, the Board adopted a final rule effective April 1, 2009, setting initial base assessment rates to a range of 0.12 percent to 0.45 percent of assessable deposits. On June 30, 2009, a special assessment was imposed on all insured banks and thrifts, which amounted in aggregate to approximately $5.4 billion. For 8,106 institutions, with $9.3 trillion in assets, the special assessment was 5 basis points of each institution’s assets minus tier one capital; 89 other institutions, with assets of $4.0 trillion, had their special asssessment capped at 10 basis points of their second quarter assessment base. back

Dollars in Thousands

1. Beginning in 1989 through July 1, 1995, all thrift closings were the responsibility of the Resolution Trust Corporation (RTC). Since the RTC was terminated on December 31, 1995, and all assets and liabilities transferred to the FSLIC Resolution Fund (FRF), all the results of the thrift closing activity from 1989 through 1995 are now reflected on FRF’s books. Year is the year of failure, not the year of resolution. back
2. The estimated losses represent the projected loss at the fund level from receiverships for unreimbursed subrogated claims of the FRF and unpaid advances to receiverships from the FRF. back
3. The Loss to Funds represents the total resolution cost of the failed thrifts in the FRF-RTC fund, which includes corporate revenue and expense items such as interest expense on Federal Financing Bank debt, interest expense on escrowed funds, and interest revenue on advances to receiverships, in addition to the estimated losses for receiverships. back
4. Total for 1989 excludes nine failures of the former FSLIC. back
