Financial Stability
The Division of Financial Stability is responsible for coordinating and supporting the Board's work on financial stability. In conjunction with other Board divisions, the division identifies and analyzes potential threats to financial stability; monitors financial markets, institutions, and structures; and assesses and recommends policy alternatives to address these threats. In addition, the division fosters broader understanding of financial stability issues by undertaking longer term research, primarily in banking, finance, and macroeconomics.
External Engagement
The External Engagement group in the Division of Financial Stability is responsible for supporting the Division’s engagement with U.S. financial stability issues in international fora, coordinating work across a range of policy issues. Section members work with economists and professionals from other Divisions at the Board, other U.S. government agencies, and staff from central banks and market regulators in other jurisdictions.
