A plan proposes a safety fund financed by a half of 1 percent income tax on average bank circulation to reach 5 percent of total circulation. When a bank fails, its guarantee fund supports the safety fund and notes are redeemed from it, with pro rata impairment costs borne by other banks. Stockholders remain liable, and a first claim on bank assets is pledged. Printing and supervision costs are funded by a half of 1 percent per year tax on notes. no notes with denomination below a threshold will be issued. The proposal includes mechanisms for bank asset provision and recovery, aiming to safeguard note redemption and circulation stability.
