[摘要]存款保险机构代位受偿优先权源自美国1993年《综合预算协调法》中的“国民存款人优先”条款,是20世纪80年代美国银行业危机的产物。存款保险机构代位受偿优先权对于维护保险基金的安全和存款保险制度职能的发挥具有重要的现实意义。我国有必要借鉴美国的立法经验,赋予我国存款保险机构以代位受偿优先权,但还需要与我国现行的《商业银行法》和《破产法》相协调。 [关键词]存款保险机构;优先权;保险代位权 [中图分类号] F840.65 [文献标识码] A [文章编号]1004-3306(2006)10-0083-03 Abstract: The subrogation of priority of claim of deposit insurance agencies stemmed from the clause of \"National Depositor Priority\" of the \"Consolidated Omnibus Reconciliation Act\" of the United Stated enacted in 1993. It is the outcome of the American banking crisis in the 1980’s. The subrogation of priority of claim is of realistic significance to safeguard the security of the insurance fund and to ensure disposal of the function of the deposit insurance system, therefore it is worth being introduced into China. Before granting the subrogation of priority of claim to Chinese deposit insurance agencies, we need to harmonize this new system with the \"Commercial Bank Law\" and the \"Bankruptcy Law\" of China.
