We wrote in our April 19 Link of the Day on a press release titled, "Austrian, French, Italian and Spanish financial market authorities give their key priorities for a macro-prudential approach to asset management," but today we quote from the full publication, "A macro-prudential approach to asset management." It says, "The risks stemming from non-bank financial intermediation (NBFI) have been subject to scrutiny from regulators worldwide since the Global Financial Crisis. The banking regulation tightening that followed, the desire to reduce the economy's dependency on bank financing in a number of jurisdictions, as well as the low (including negative) interest rates policy, have resulted in an increase of the share of NBFI in the global financial system. In addition, several recent events have illustrated the fact that shocks that either spread through or originate from the NBFI world may have a potentially significant negative effect on the real economy, which amounts to say that they are of potential systemic relevance."
