Banking Stability
Banking system stability score 0–100 based on the IMF Financial Soundness Indicators (FSI) composite: capital adequacy ratios, non-performing loan rates, liquidity coverage, deposit insurance coverage, and Basel III/IV compliance (IMF FSI Database 2024; World Bank Global Financial Development Database). Switzerland scores 98 — FINMA oversight, mandatory covered bonds, systemically important bank buffers, SNB as backstop. Singapore 95: MAS maintains extremely conservative capital requirements, zero bank failures in 40 years. Norway 88: Bankenes sikringsfond covers 100% deposits up to NOK 2M. Germany 88: BaFin + Bundesbank oversight, strong deposit guarantee scheme (EdB covers up to €100k per bank). Critically unstable systems: Lebanon 12 — banking system collapse 2019–2022, capital controls, depositors lost most savings. Venezuela 15, Zimbabwe 22, Argentina 28 — history of freezes, desubscriptions, and hyperinflation eroding deposits. Venezuela's banking system effectively operates in parallel USD cash economy. For nomads who keep emergency funds locally, banking stability is a real tail-risk factor.
