Stable deposits for this purpose are the amount of the deposits that are fully insured¹⁰ by a deposit insurance scheme, and where:

All other deposits and accounts that do not satisfy these criteria shall be treated as less stable deposits.

¹⁰ 'Fully insured' means that 100 percent of the deposit amount is covered by an effective deposit insurance scheme. Deposit balances up to the deposit insurance limit can be treated as "fully insured". However, any amount in excess of the deposit insurance limit is to be treated as 'less stable'. For example, if a depositor has a deposit of BD 150,000 that is covered by a deposit insurance scheme, which has a limit of BD 100,000, where the depositor would receive at least BD 100,000 from the deposit insurance scheme if the bank were unable to pay, then BD 100,000 would be considered "fully insured" and treated as stable deposits, while BD 50,000 would be treated as less stable deposits.
