8th Macroprudential Policy Group Workshop

Institutional and operational framework for macroprudential policies and tools in Europe

14 October 2025, Budapest

Hybrid event - by invitation only

After the global financial crisis, macroprudential policy has become a distinct and integral part of the European supervisory framework, with the aim of preserving financial stability.

Following the recommendation of the European Systemic Risk Board (ESRB) on the macro-prudential mandate of national authorities, all jurisdictions have made significant progress in establishing an institutional and operational framework for macroprudential policy. 

At the same time, there are considerable differences between jurisdictions in terms of organisational structures, responsibilities and accountability regimes, the use and availability of macroprudential instruments, and decision-making processes.

This workshop will explore how these aspects affect the use of macroprudential policies and tools in Europe and consequently have an impact on financial stability.
