The Banque de France’s International Banking and Finance Institute (IBFI) organised this seminar with experts from the Banque de France’s Financial Stability Directorate, who spoke on: macroprudential policies implemented in France and Europe; early warning indicators of financial instability and macroprudential stress tests; and finally, the impact of physical risks linked to climate change on financial stability.
An expert from the National Bank of Belgium (BNB) explained how the countercyclical buffer works, whilst an expert from the National Bank of Slovakia (NBS) presented macroprudential borrowed-based measures. Speakers from the BdF, the BNB and the NBS also led workshops enabling participants to simulate the implementation of these macroprudential instruments.
Participants from the 12 African central banks participating in the European programme, together with experts from the BdF, the BNB and the NBS, also exchanged views during two round-table discussions on systemic risks, issues relating to the quality and processing of collected data, and the macroprudential policies implemented in Africa.
