Summary: | When faced with financial crises,
authorities worldwide tend to respond aggressively with
public support measures. Given the adverse impact on moral
hazard and market discipline, support measures involving
public money are ideally limited to crisis situations
involving systemic risk: a disturbance in the financial
system that is serious enough to affect the real economy.
This note sets out the main characteristics of a systemic
risk assessment framework: a simple analytical framework
that can be used by authorities with financial crisis
management responsibilities in times of financial crisis to
assess the extent to which that particular crisis situation
poses systemic risk. |
