Macrofinancial linkages

Macrofinancial linkages have long been at the core of the IMF's mandate to oversee the stability of the global financial system. With the advent of the economic crisis, the Fund has drawn on its research in order to contribute to critical debates on the nature of appropriate policy responses at both the national and multilateral levels. This volume brings together writings by IMF economists on macrofinancial issues, and highlights the issues and approaches that have guided IMF thinking in an area that makes up an increasingly important component of the IMF's overall remit.--Publisher's description.
