Financial Stability

Financial Stability refers to a state in which the financial system, including institutions, markets, and infrastructure, functions effectively, supporting economic growth and maintaining public confidence. It is characterized by the absence of excessive fluctuations in asset prices, a robust banking system, and the ability of financial institutions to withstand economic shocks. Financial stability is essential for fostering investment and consumption, ensuring that economies operate smoothly without crises that can lead to significant disruptions. It involves maintaining balance and preventing systemic risks that could result from high levels of debt, asset bubbles, or insolvencies within financial institutions. A financially stable environment promotes sustainable economic development, protects the value of currencies, and supports employment levels while safeguarding consumers’ and investors’ interests.
