Financial Stability

Financial stability refers to a condition in which the financial system, including institutions, markets, and the broader economy, operates effectively without excessive fluctuations or instability. It is characterized by the ability of the financial system to withstand economic shocks and maintain the seamless functioning of financial intermediation, ensuring that businesses and individuals can access credit and make transactions. Financial stability is vital for fostering sustainable economic growth, as it promotes confidence among investors, supports stable prices, and ensures that financial markets are liquid and functioning efficiently. It encompasses the resilience of financial institutions, the prudent management of financial risks, and the overall health of the economy. In a stable financial environment, the risks of bank failures, credit crises, and significant market disruptions are minimized, leading to a more secure and predictable economic landscape for all participants.
