As the COVID-19 pandemic and its economic fallout continue, policymakers keep a watchful eye on the stability of the financial system. Having learned many lessons from the financial crisis of 2007–2009, they may again turn to that crisis for insights into potential vulnerabilities emerging in the financial sector and ways to make financial markets and institutions more resilient to shocks. At a recent conference on financial stability, 12 papers and two keynotes explored this ground. This Commentary summarizes the papers’ findings and the keynotes.

The paper provides an assessment of the recommendations of the Financial System Inquiry and the Government's reform proposals relating to the regulatory structure, financial safety and the mega-prudential regulator, systemic stability, and competition policy in the financial sector. It is argued that key reform proposals are based on explicit or implicit assumptions relating to the workings of financial markets and institutions. The Report fails to test those assumptions against contemporary and prospective circumstances to determine the practical worth of the recommendations.

В статье с позиций общего методологического анализа понятия «устойчивость» обоснована теоретическая и практическая значимость использования понятия «устойчивость финансовой системы региона», проанализированы подходы к раскрытию особенностей понятий финансовой устойчивости нефинансовых организаций, банков и страховых компаний, проанализированы подходы к определению понятия финансовой системы страны/ региона и ее структуры. В качестве основополагающего для целей анализа устойчивости финансовой системы региона выбран подход, в рамках которого финансовая система региона рассматривается как совокупность взаимодействующих и взаимосвязанных между собой таких секторов как сектор государственных и муниципальных финансов, финансовый сектор региона, региональный сектор корпоративных и личных финансов. Показана неравномерность развития отдельных институтов финансового сектора Российской Федерации и проанализированы основные показатели развития секторов финансовой системы страны за период 2016-2020 гг. Изложены методические подходы Банка России к исследованию финансовой стабильности. Предложено авторское определение «устойчивость финансовой системы региона» и совокупность параметров и показателей для оценки устойчивости секторов финансовой системы региона. The article substantiates the theoretical and practical significance of using the concept of "stability of the financial system of the region" from the standpoint of a general methodological analysis of the concept of "stability", analyzes approaches to revealing the features of the concepts of financial stability of non-financial organizations, banks and insurance companies, analyzes approaches to defining the concept of the financial system of a country / region and its structure; as a fundamental approach for the purposes of analyzing the stability of the financial system of the region, the approach is chosen in which the financial system of the region is considered as a set of interacting and interconnected sectors: the sector of state and municipal finance, the financial sector of the region, the regional sector of corporate and personal finance. The uneven development of individual institutions of the financial sector of the Russian Federation is shown and the main indicators of the development of the country's financial system sectors for the period 2016-2020 are analyzed. The methodological approaches of the Bank of Russia to the study of financial stability are described. The author's definition of "stability of the financial system of the region" and a set of parameters and indicators for assessing the stability of the financial system sectors of the region are proposed.

This Selected Issues paper examines the stability of the financial sector in Botswana. The financial system has grown rapidly over the years, but there is still substantial scope for expansion. Banks, institutional investors, and the Botswana Stock Exchange have grown steadily over the years based on political and economic stability, savings from diamond exports, and fiscal surpluses. Botswana’s financial stability framework could benefit from upgrading. Data gaps and incomplete information on cross-border capital flows and growing interconnection with the nonbank financial sector may entail risks. In this regard, close cooperation among regulators and proper assessment of macro-financial risks associated with banks’ large exposures will contribute to more effective financial system supervision.

Financial stability means the stability in payment systems and also means resistance against shocks in financial markets and in foundations being active in such markets. Stability in financial markets usually brings along the financial system’s stable action, accordingly the allocation of sources in economy in a productive way and the management and distribution of risks in a suitable way. It is, however, a certain fact that financial instability causes important problems in economy. Such instabilities cause financial crisis and so, high costs of the financial crisis emphasizes the importance of financial stability. One of the most common methods used to prevent financial instability is the ‘’financial regulation’’. Financial regulations are the rules and limitations laid down by the public to the financial spies’ economic decisions and actions in order to increase its own social purpose function. Financial regulatory services are composed of three parts: to observe the actions of financial foundations, to discipline them, and to coordinating them. Since financial markets are of more importance in economy comparing to other markets, financial regulation is different from the other regulations as well. The purpose of the financial regulation implemented for the financial markets is to equalize the distribution of the data owned by individuals who are transacting in the financial system. In this research, the importance of financial regulations in achieving financial stability is being emphasized and selected-EU countries and Turkey will be compared.

Abstract The paper describes the main features of financial stability and the preparation of the reform of the global financial system. The mortgage crisis in the USA brought about the global financial crisis. This crisis was the result of the failure of financial regulation, including supervision, and the failure of the management of the banking industry. Therefore, the international community, including Group 20, urged the appropriate institutions to introduce a comprehensive reform of the financial sector. To avoid a potential financial crisis, the creation of the framework for financial stability would be needed. In line with this, the paper examines the interaction between both monetary and fiscal policies, including micro-and macroprudential policies and their instruments. Although still is going on discussion on definition of macroprudential policy, there is a generally accepted opinion that macroprudential policy should limit systemic risk. In addition, this policy should focus on interaction between the financial system and the real economy. Furthermore, micro- andmacroprudential policy should use appropriate instruments in dealing with the systemic risk. In this regard, the article undescores that put in a place the frameworkfor financial stability will create favorable conditions for decision-makers how they should to respond to financial imbalances. The paper also pointed out some potential economic costs related to the implementation of the overall international reform of the financial sector. Based on comprehensive literature study, the author came to the conclusion that despite the fact that there will be some economic costs related to implementing the overall regulatory reform of the financial sector, the main benefit from the long-term perspective will be avoiding the potential financial crisis in the future. To fulfill all the requirements for global financial reform, international cooperation will be needed.

Due to the recent financial turmoil, questions have been raised about the impact ofcomplex financial products, like credit derivatives, on financial stability. The academicliterature however does not provide a clear answer to this question. This paper empiricallylinks the stability of the financial sector to the use of credit derivatives for the main constituentsof the European financial sector. We find that the use of credit derivatives increases theprobability of default and thus reduces the overall financial sector stability. In addition,we find evidence that this relationship is progressive and economically meaningful.

The importance of financial liberalization is well documented in the literature. However, there has been an emergency of studies, which indicate that this can be another channel through which financial instability is generated in the domestic economy. Utilising data from four SADC countries, the empirical findings show that financial reforms are positively related to financial instability in almost all the specifications. The empirical results further revealed that financial instability intensifies in the face of a financial crisis. The result suggests that financial liberalization can therefore be another source of financial instability in the region. The empirical results imply that though policymakers should liberalise the financial system, policies aimed at maintaining financial stability should also be promoted.
