Financial Stability Reports : What Are they Good for? / Sonia Munoz, Samir Jahjah, Martin Cihak, Sharika Sharifuddin.

We examine the recent experience with central banks' financial stability reports, and find?despite some progress in recent years?that forward-looking perspective and analysis of financial interconnectedness are often lacking. We also find that higher-quality reports tend to be associated with more stable financial environments. However, there is only a weak empirical link between financial stability report publication per se and financial stability. This suggests room for improvement in terms of the quality of financial stability reports. Mode of access: Internet Cihak, Martin. Jahjah, Samir. Sharifuddin, Sharika.
