The Effect of Macroprudential Policies on Financial Stability
Open accessAbstract
Purpose: The general objective of the study was to investigate the effect of macroprudential policies on financial stability. Methodology: The study adopted a desktop research methodology. Desk research refers to secondary data or that which can be collected without fieldwork. Desk research is basically involved in collecting data from existing resources hence it is often considered a low cost technique as compared to field research, as the main cost is involved in executive’s time, telephone charges and directories. Thus, the study relied on already published studies, reports and statistics. This secondary data was easily accessed through the online journals and library. Findings: The findings reveal that there exists a contextual and methodological gap relating to the effect of macroprudential policies on financial stability. Preliminary empirical review revealed that macroprudential policies were crucial in mitigating systemic risk and enhancing financial stability. It found that tailored approaches, considering specific economic conditions, were necessary for these policies to be effective. Coordination with other regulatory measures and continuous adaptation to evolving financial landscapes were also essential. The research highlighted the importance of robust regulatory institutions and effective enforcement mechanisms, particularly in emerging markets, to address challenges such as regulatory capture and limited institutional capacity. Overall, the study emphasized the need for a dynamic and adaptable macroprudential regulatory framework to maintain a stable and resilient financial system. Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: The Financial Stability Hypothesis, Regulatory Capture Theory and Agency Theory may be used to anchor future studies on macroprudential policies on financial stability. The study recommended adopting a comprehensive macroprudential regulatory framework that integrated various tools to address systemic risk. It suggested enhancing theoretical models to understand the dynamic effects of these tools and their combined impact. Practical recommendations included building strong regulatory institutions, improving data collection, and enhancing international cooperation and information sharing. Policy recommendations emphasized clear and transparent frameworks, regular policy reviews, and considering potential unintended consequences. Engaging with stakeholders to address concerns and ensure balanced regulation was also advised to support sustainable economic growth while maintaining financial stability.

Macroprudential frameworks after the crisis were partially effective in reducing bank-level risk but insufficient in reducing cross-border contagion.
“Further research indicates that the introduction of the macroprudential frameworks after the crisis has been partially effective in reducing the risk at the bank level and is insufficient in terms of reducing the cross-border contagion processes (Khalif, 2024).”

The Conclusion (section 5.1; page unavailable) says macroprudential policies can mitigate systemic risk, broadly supporting the risk-reduction part. It does not establish that post-crisis frameworks were only partially effective at the bank level. The Recommendations (section 5.2; page unavailable) identify cross-border spillovers as a challenge, but do not find the frameworks insufficient to reduce contagion; the Empirical Review (section 2.2; page unavailable) reports that some measures effectively mitigate cross-border banking risks.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
