Abstract: In the paper, 109 deposit insurance schemes have been evaluated in terms of their investment policies designed for funds collected from banks. Almost half of them develop investment strategies involving the activity on the financial markets. Nevertheless, the strategies have to be compliant with the applicable local regulations. The aim of the paper is to evaluate the impact that deposit guarantors may have on the financial markets, mainly on the sovereign debt market. In this regard at least two mechanisms negatively influencing the stability of national sovereign debt market have been identified. The research confirmed that the activity of deposit guarantee funds may have destabilising effects but they have not been addressed so far in legal framework for deposit insurance schemes.
