September 2018: New VoxEU Column – The increasing faith in macroprudential policies

Eugenio Cerutti, Stijn Claessens, and Luc Laeven, 18 September 2018

The Global Crisis was a catalyst for the adoption of macroprudential policies around the world.

Since 2015, advanced economies have on average been using more instruments than emerging economies and low-income countries. While some instruments seem to be effective, it remains to be seen whether this suite of policies can deliver overall financial stability.
