Central Bank of Ireland Discussion Paper on Macroprudential Policy for Investment Funds
July 2023On 18th July 2023, the Central Bank of Ireland (“CBI”) published a Discussion Paper seeking views on a new macroprudential policy framework for investment funds (“DP11”). It aims to advance ongoing European discussions on how a macroprudential perspective in the regulation of the funds sector could be achieved. It discusses important factors to take into account when creating and implementing such a framework.
A macroprudential framework for the funds sector would adopt a systemic viewpoint and seek to make sure that this expanding area of the financial industry is more stress-resistant and less likely to magnify negative shocks. As a result, the sector would be better prepared to contribute as a dependable source of funding, supporting larger-scale economic activities.
The Central Bank is seeking feedback from stakeholders on a number of issues raised in the discussion paper to inform further analysis and policy work in this area via an online survey which will run until 15 November 2023.
