Ben Bernanke: Clearinghouses, financial stability and financial reform


Default: Change to:


Anlässlich der 2011 Financial Markets Konferenz betonte Bernanke, dass die Clearingstellen weltweit insgesamt gut in der hochbelasteten finanziellen Umfelds der jüngsten Krise umgehen. Allerdings müssen politische Entscheidungsträger ihre künftige Widerstandsfähigkeit gewährleisten.


He concluded by saying that past crises, including the financial panic of 1907 and the 1987 stock market crash, led to significant reforms and improvements in clearing and settlement, that paid off in subsequent periods of financial stress.

Given the growing interdependencies among clearinghouses, along with the new mandates for central clearing, now is a good time to reflect on the lessons of the recent crisis and consider whether further improvements are possible. For more than a century, financial stability has depended on the resilience under stress of clearinghouses and other parts of the financial infrastructure.
