I agree 100%, and I only have maybe 1000 NZD held in NZ by a bank.

A deposit guarantee of 50k for personal accounts (the average Kiwibank deposit is ~65k, based on 2005 numbers) is reasonable.

For business accounts, 100k is reasonable.

Latent moral hazards
– Yes, there will be some additional bureaucracy created by this
– Yes, there will need to be some transparent auditing involved Gov 2 Bank
– Yes, Foreign Investment will go up with the scheme; and that will have some repercussions
