Abstract: This paper asks whether the transfer of risk from banking to non-banking institutions, such as insurers, has reduced risk for the financial system as a whole or merely shifted it to less transparent sectors. If the latter is the case, then it may be that new forms of risk and vulnerability are being introduced into the global financial system.
