Taming the wild gyrations of credit flows, debt stocks and asset prices

Produktbeschreibung

The financial crisis of 2008 is probably the single most important economic event in post-war history. Macroprudential policy is the response to that crisis - a determined attempt to stabilize the financial system. This book explains why it is necessary, who will be responsible for executing this responsibility and how they will go about doing it.
