As part of the Administration’s ongoing work to implement Wall Street Reform legislation, the Office of Financial Research and the Financial Stability Oversight Council hosted a conference, entitled “The Macroprudential Toolkit: Measurement and Analysis,” on December 1-2, 2011 in Washington, DC. This conference brought together thought leaders from the financial regulatory community, academia, public interest groups, and the financial services industry to discuss data and technology issues and analytical approaches for assessing, monitoring and mitigating threats to financial stability. The conference will provide an additional opportunity for coordination and collaboration in the broader efforts to effectively implement financial reform legislation and help prevent future financial crises.
