Resilience and finance readiness

Stability readiness asks whether a shock that starts in the real economy could become a system-wide financial event, and what evidence a stability authority would need to judge that. Financial Stability, a the Global Risks Alliance (GRA) platform, prepares aggregate exposure, linkage and scenario evidence for those authorities and frames the questions. Macroprudential judgement and action stay with central banks, stability committees and supervisors.

02Readiness

Readiness is not approval.

A readiness file describes a programme's evidence, risks and governance so that an institution can carry out its own review. GRA does not approve, rate, underwrite, lend or invest, and it recommends no counterparty.

03Authority lens

What a stability authority reads.

QuestionEvidence
Is the shock large relative to system capital and liquidity?Aggregate exposures from public banking, insurance and fund statistics
Does it hit many institutions at once?Common exposure by geography, sector and counterparty
Is there an amplifier?Leverage, maturity mismatch, margin and fire-sale channels
Can the system keep providing critical functions?Operational dependencies of payments, clearing and credit

Resilience and finance readiness: How an economic shock propagates

Input-output models trace a change in final use or primary input prices through industry linkages, with multipliers for output, income and employment.

  1. 01 Shock and linkages

    1. 01ShockDataset · Financial stability committeeA shock enters as an exogenous change in final uses, or as a change in the price of a primary input.
    2. 02Input-output linkagesModel · Financial stability committeeBackward linkages tie an industry to its suppliers, forward linkages to its buyers. The model assumes fixed technical input coefficients.
  2. 02 Economy

    1. 03Sector outputModel · Financial stability committeeThe quantity model estimates how a change in final uses affects output. Output multipliers give the production needed per unit of final use.
    2. 04PricesModel · Financial stability committeeThe price model simulates cost-driven inflation from changes in primary input prices. It assumes perfect competition.
  3. 03 People

    1. 05JobsDataset · Financial stability committeeEmployment multipliers represent jobs created per unit of currency of additional final use.
    2. 06Household incomeDataset · Financial stability committeeIncome multipliers show how final use changes affect household income. A social accounting matrix shows the circular flow of income.
  4. 04 State

    1. 07Public financesStep · Financial stability committeeEffects on public revenue and spending need government accounts linked to the model, for example in a social accounting matrix.
    2. 08Policy responseDecision · Financial stability committeeThe responsible party decides on a response. The same linkages can be used to test it.

Outline of an external standard or method, from its public sources. It describes what the framework says, not a record of any run. It does not show that Nexus or any partner performs, certifies or approves a step. A gate is a step of the method, never a Nexus approval. The models assume fixed technical coefficients and are not forecasts.

05Scope

Sector evidence, never supervisory judgement.

Macroprudential decisions belong to central banks, financial stability committees and supervisors. Financial Stability prepares sector-level evidence and scenario designs they may choose to read. Topic depth at systemic interconnectedness; governance at the Global Risks Forum (GRF) risk governance.

06Release

09Questions

Questions and answers.

Does a readiness file mean finance is available?
No. It supports an independent review by the competent institution, which decides under its own rules.
