Macroprudential Bulletin
The ECB Macroprudential Bulletin provides insight into our ongoing work in the field of macroprudential policy. The aim of the Macroprudential Bulletin is to raise awareness of macroprudential policy issues in the euro area by bringing greater transparency to the ECB's ongoing work and thinking in this field, and to foster broader discussion on key macroprudential issues.
Transparency about our ongoing work is not an end in itself. It is also an opportunity for an exchange of views. We therefore invite you to share your views with us by sending an email with your feedback to ecb.macroprudential.bulletin@ecb.europa.eu. The same address can also be used if you want to receive notifications of future issues of the Macroprudential Bulletin.
