Macroprudential Oversight

Definition

Macroprudential Oversight refers to regulatory supervision aimed at mitigating risks that could threaten the stability of the entire financial system. This approach focuses on the system as a whole, rather than individual institutions, to prevent widespread financial distress. It involves tools like capital buffers and lending limits to safeguard against systemic vulnerabilities. Such oversight seeks to maintain financial resilience against broad economic shocks.
