�౦��Ϸ����

�౦��Ϸ���� (�౦��Ϸ����) is seeking comments from �౦��Ϸ����-supervised institutions on its draft strategic plan covering the six-year period 2001 through 2006. Comments are due by July 31, 2001.

The �౦��Ϸ���� is revising its Strategic Plan to better reflect the �౦��Ϸ����'s three major program areas - Insurance, Supervision, and Receivership Management - as well as to articulate more results-oriented goals. We believe that the institutions we insure are interested in our goals and the strategies that we will use to accomplish them.

The draft 2001-2006 Strategic Plan also includes a new section called "Perspective and Outlook." This section will highlight issues that may impact the banking industry and the �౦��Ϸ���� over the next two to five years.

The �౦��Ϸ����'s mission is to contribute to stability and public confidence in the nation's financial system by insuring deposits, examining and supervising financial institutions, and managing receiverships. The draft strategic plan for 2001 through 2006 provides a framework for implementing this mission by pursuing four desired results:

• Protection of insured depositors from loss, without recourse to taxpayer funding;


• Safety and soundness of insured depository institutions;


• Protection of consumers' rights and the investment by �౦��Ϸ����-supervised institutions in their communities; and


• Recovery to creditors of receiverships.

We welcome your review and comments on our most recent draft strategic plan. You can review the draft plan on the �౦��Ϸ����'s Web site at http://www.fdic.gov under "About �౦��Ϸ����."
