Main findings on monetary policy and risk taking
- Six years after the start of the crisis, the global economic recovery continues to rely heavily on accommodative monetary policies in advanced economies.
- Monetary accommodation remains critical in supporting economies by encouraging economic risk taking in the form of:
- increased real spending by households
- greater willingness to invest and hire by businesses
- Prolonged monetary ease may also encourage excessive financial risk taking.
Shadow banking: growth, risks, and regulatory implications
- Analytical chapter examines the growth of shadow banking around the globe.
- Assessment and implications:
- assesses risks posed by the growth of shadow banking
- discusses regulatory responses
- calls for a more encompassing (macroprudential) approach to regulation
- calls for enhanced data provision
Bank governance, compensation, and risk
- Analytical chapter examines how conflicts of interest among bank managers, shareholders, and debt holders can lead to excessive bank risk taking from society’s point of view.
- Key findings:
- no clear relation between bank risk and the level of executive compensation
- better alignment of bankers’ pay with long-term outcomes is associated with less risk
