macroprudentialpolicy

Dictionary meaning

a regulatory approach that focuses on the stability of the financial system as a whole rather than the soundness of individual institutions; uses tools such as countercyclical capital buffers, loan-to-value limits, debt-to-income caps, and sectoral capital requirements to dampen the build-up of systemic risk during boom periods and release buffers during downturns, thereby smoothing the financial cycle and reducing the probability and severity of financial crises
