“It is more important than ever to ensure that we can reap the benefits of this dynamic part of the financial system without risking financial stability,” Quarles said in a letter to G20 finance ministers and central banks, who are holding a virtual meeting this week. Quarles, who is also Federal Reserve vice chair for banking supervision, said FSB members have been involved in intensive, daily information exchanges to coordinate national responses.
“It will become increasingly important to assess the impact of measures taken and to ensure that these policies are effective in the near term, and, eventually, to give a strong basis for deciding on when, and how, to return to more normal operations in the financial sector,” Quarles said.
