Macroprudential Index
The index incorporates 8 elements crucial to the macroprudential framework: (1) the authority the central bank has in carrying out macroprudential policies; (2) the number of entities responsible for the maintenance of financial stability and their mandates; (3) the existence of a deposit insurance scheme; (4) the degree of transparency and accountability in the macroprudential regime; (5) the governance of the macroprudential framework; (6) how resorting to macroprudential instruments influences the monetary policy transmission mechanism; (7) how far the current macroprudential regime is from the FSB/G20 recommendations (timeliness and responsiveness to regulatory reforms); and (8) how quickly policy makers respond to the need to implement FSB/G20 measures intended to ensure financial system stability. “Organizational changes” refers to the impact of organizational changes in central banks since 2011.
