Abstract

The financial crisis has demonstrated the importance of strengthening liquidity risk management and supervision. Such strengthening must take account of the system-wide dimension of risks: the likelihood that a number of firms will face a common stress at the same time, and the impact of their response to that stress on other firms and the wider system. Five high-level objectives are presented to guide the future development and design of a framework to contain system-wide liquidity risks.
