Abstract
Given the increasing complexity and interconnectedness of the financial system, central banks have broadened their mandates and policy toolkit to address emerging risks to financial stability. This paper describes Malaysia’s experience in establishing its macroprudential framework. It highlights the institutional and governance arrangements made to support decision-making, and policy formulation to avert or reduce risks to financial stability. It also discusses the importance of coordinating different policy tools, such as monetary, macroprudential and fiscal measures, to balance policy trade-offs. Drawing on Malaysia’s experience in implementing household- and property-related macroprudential measures, the paper argues that recalibration of existing policies hinges on the objectives and circumstances of individual jurisdictions.
