Financial Stability Factors and the Severity of the Current Recession [UBS European Virtual Conference]

Eric Rosengren (e.rosengren@comcast.net)

Speech from Federal Reserve Bank of Boston

Abstract: Economic shocks happen, but the severity of the consequences depends on how fragile, or susceptible to financial instability, the economy was prior to the shock. In the U.S., excessive risk-taking behavior prior to COVID-19 is likely to delay the recovery, even though the initial response by fiscal and monetary policymakers was a prompt and substantial mitigant.
