Macro-prudential Policy and its Impact on the Reduction of Systemic Risk

Abstract

The main objective of this paper is a holistic representation of the idea of macro-supervision, pointing to the need for its implementation and demonstration based on research and historical data that macro-pru­dential policy can significantly prevent the materialization of systemic risk in the banking business. This means that it will be able to coun­teract this risk in both temporal and structural terms, translating into better functioning of the real economy, which the financial system pri­marily serves. The article will present the history of the idea of macro-supervision and its concept in the light of different economic schools. Next, the characteristics of the financial system, sources of systemic risk and macro-prudential policy objectives will be shown. Attention will also be given to the other objectives of this idea. In the next stage of work, a range of policy instruments will be presented.
