Summary of a workshop on recent advances in modelling systemic risk using network analysis

7 January 2010

In October 2009, the European Central Bank (ECB) hosted a workshop entitled “Recent advances in modelling systemic risk using network analysis”. Today, the ECB is publishing a summary of the workshop, which was attended by experts from central banks and international organisations working in the fields of financial stability and payment system analysis/oversight.

Recent research in the area of financial network analysis has shown that modelling and simulating the interlinking exposures between financial institutions and sectors of the economy or across entire national financial systems can reveal vulnerabilities that would otherwise remain undetected. The aim of the workshop was to exchange views and experiences in the field of financial network analysis.
