It thus takes initial steps toward operationalizing enhanced financial sector and macro-financial surveillance called for by the IMF's Executive Board and by experts such as de Larosiere and others (2009). Getting a better handle on interconnectedness would strengthen the Fund's ability, together with the Financial Stability Board, to track systemic risk concentrations. It would also inform spillover and vulnerability analyses, and sharpen bilateral and multilateral surveillance.
