Financial Stability Reviews: a list

Julian D. A. Wiseman

Publication history: only here. Usual disclaimer and copyright terms apply.

Many central banks have published a financial stability review, including the Bank of England, Sveriges Riksbank, Magyar Nemzeti Bank, Norges Bank, Österreichische Nationalbank, International Monetary Fund, Central Bank of Ireland, Danmarks Nationalbank, Banque de France, Banco Central do Brasil, Banco de España, Bank of Canada, National Bank of Belgium, Schweizerische Nationalbank, Central Bank of Republic of Indonesia, Narodowy Bank Polski, Suomen Pankki, Deutsche Bundesbank, Hong Kong Monetary Authority, Latvijas Banka, Česká národní banka, Národná banka Slovenska, South African Reserve Bank, Reserve Bank of Australia, Banco Central de Chile, Banka Slovenije, Bank of Israel, Reserve Bank of New Zealand, Monetary Authority of Singapore, European Central Bank, Monetary Authority of Macao, Central Bank of Kenya , De Nederlandsche Bank, Central Bank of Sri Lanka, Banco de Portugal, Bank of Russia Банк России, Seðlabanki Íslands, Eesti Pank, Bank of Korea 한국은행, Bank of Japan 日本銀行, Türkiye Cumhuriyet Merkez Bankasý, and Banco Central de la República Argentina

Gathered here are links to these reviews (a.k.a. reports, bulletins, etc). This list is sure to be incomplete: please do send the author links to missing reviews. Please send a link to the missing review, not a link to the central bank’s main page, because some central-bank websites lack an obvious route from the main page to the review.

Indeed, the task of maintaining this list should perhaps be done by a central bank. Volunteers? Of course I’m willing to share my rather simple spreadsheet, and also to replace this page with one that forwards to the new more frequently updated ‘official’ list. Please?

In making this table, various standards of web-site management were observed. Some central banks have a durable system for links, avoiding link-rot. Particularly worthy of commendation is the Bank of England, whose numerous FSRs have a consistent presentation of content and of links thereto. Others, not named here, have little or no organisation of their websites. (Judge for yourself: starting with the URL to one review, can a knowledgeable outside observer guess the link to the next? If the answer is no, or the guess is wrong, the webmaster should consider that a criticism.) And some central banks even have spelling errors in their documents!

Finally, to assist in the updating of this page, a list of FSR publishers reverse-ordered by recency of publication:

Julian D. A. Wiseman, February 2006

† The date used is the publication date, where it was obvious and consistent with the title, or the data date (again where consistent). Anybody redoing this exercise should gather all three dates, and also a ‘sort-by’ date. It might also be better if the link were the ‘official’ title of the document, including whatever date indicators it uses.
