    Crisis in a Global Economy. Re-planning the Journey Pontifical Academy of Social Sciences, Acta 16, 2011 www.pass.va/content/dam/scienzesociali/pdf/acta16/acta16-papademos.pdf THE ROLE OF MACRO-PRUDENTIAL OVERSIGHT AND MONETARY POLICY IN PREVENTING FINANCIAL INSTABILITY LUCAS PAPADEMOS I. INTRODUCTION Over the past three years, we have experienced a financial and econom- ic crisis of exceptional scope, severity and complexity. Since the summer of 2009, financial market conditions have broadly improved and the Euro- pean and other economies have been gradually recovering. Nevertheless, the crisis is not over yet. Financial market tensions persist and significant policy challenges remain, as developments in the sovereign debt markets in recent weeks have amply demonstrated. The ongoing adjustment in the banking system and the sizeable fiscal imbalances – largely but not entire- ly due to the crisis – still cast a shadow over the outlook for global econom- ic developments and financial stability. The experience with the crisis has triggered a comprehensive and far- reaching set of policy responses aimed at preventing the occurrence of similar episodes in the future, as well as better managing crisis situations and mitigating their effects. At the core of these actions and initiatives is the regulatory and supervisory reform agenda that is being pursued by the Financial Stability Board under the political guidance of the G20 lead- ers. This agenda aims primarily – though not exclusively – to reinforce the resilience of the financial system by various means, mainly by strength- ening the regulatory and supervisory framework of financial institutions and markets. At the same time, the crisis has clearly demonstrated the need to adopt a macro-prudential approach to the regulation and supervision of the financial system as a whole.

It was barely saved by a €750 ($955) billion rescue plan that European Union leaders B Y K LAUS C. ENGELEN put together in May of this year. Although the immediate danger of Greece—or other eurozone member countries like Portugal or Spain— defaulting seems to have been averted, the pressure from markets to cut public deficits, stabilize banks, and reform economies remains. A look at the interest rates and insurance premia that financially Eweak eurozone countries have to pay on their new sovereign debt issues makes it clear that the crisis is not over. A year of major challenges for the sixteen-member eurozone is in store, with an uncertain outcome. For Europe’s central bankers and policymakers, one of those challenges is to rebuild confidence in the euro and its guardian, the European Central Bank. Since the ECB joined the international rescue of Greece and other financially weak nations on Europe’s southern periphery and announced that it would indef- initely accept those countries’ debt as collateral regardless of credit rating, the ECB, its President Jean-Claude Trichet, and its governing council have been con- fronted with a credibility crisis. “Trust in the ECB, as measured by the standard Eurobarometer (and other) sur- veys, has fallen to an unprecedented low—especially in the larger euro area coun- THE MAGAZINE OF tries,” concludes a major empirical study by Daniel Gros and Felix Roth of the INTERNATIONAL ECONOMIC POLICY Centre for European Policy Studies.

    MODERNITY, MEMORY AND IDENTITY IN SOUTH-EAST EUROPE Nostalgia, Loss and Creativity in South-East Europe Political and Cultural Representations of the Past Edited by Catharina Raudvere Modernity, Memory and Identity in South-East Europe Series Editor Catharina Raudvere Department of Cross-Cultural and Regional Studies University of Copenhagen Copenhagen, Denmark This series explores the relationship between the modern history and pres- ent of South-East Europe and the long imperial past of the region. This approach aspires to offer a more nuanced understanding of the concepts of modernity and change in this region, from the nineteenth century to the present day. Titles focus on changes in identity, self-representation and cultural expressions in light of the huge pressures triggered by the interac- tion between external influences and local and regional practices. The books cover three significant chronological units: the decline of empires and its immediate aftermath, authoritarian governance during the twenti- eth century, and changing societies and recent uses of history in South- East Europe today.
