The Macro-Prudential Authority: Powers, Scope and Accountability

Charles Goodhart ()

FMG Special Papers from Financial Markets Group

Abstract: Neither the achievement of price stability, via the MPC, nor the application of micro-prudential oversight, via the FSA, led to overall financial stability. There is a gap that needs to be filled by a macro-prudential authority (M-PA), FPC in the UK. The only macro-prudential instrument used heretofore has been the publication of Financial Stability Reviews (FSR). While worthy, these have been ineffective.
