Large financial intermediaries endanger the entire financial system when they use the wrong risk model and make bad decisions.

People sometimes talk about systemic risk as if it were intrinsic to the financial system.

The authorities aided and abetted the process by intervening whenever the global financial system was at risk.

Breaking the central government s domination of China s financial resources will fundamentally change the system of implicit guarantees that is currently generating significant financial risk.

Even if the risk to the financial system was minimal, the impact on banks and bondholders was substantial.

A bloated and dysfunctional financial system had misallocated capital and, rather than managing risk, had actually created it.

It led directly to the spread of financial risk management models, which, by excluding the possibility of default, grossly underestimated the amount of risk in the system.

The Old New Financial Risk

The financial products being created didn t manage risk they enhanced risk.

Canada s large banking system distributed risk more widely, and fared better in episodes of financial panic, whether in 1907 or in 1929 1933.

In financial markets, local optimization seems to lead to excessive leverage and other forms of risk taking that undermine the stability of the system.

We are setting ourselves up, without question, for another boom based on excessive and reckless risk taking at the heart of the world s financial system.

The government may have to shore up the financial system if the changes in asset prices that undermined the dollar sink risk loving or imprudent lenders.

Finally, liquidity risk should be properly assessed in risk management models, and both banks and other financial institutions should better price and manage such risk most financial crises are triggered by maturity mismatches.

The big problem is that the core of the world s financial system has become unstable, and reckless risk taking will once again lead to great collateral damage.

Fortunately, financial markets are beginning to address longevity risk.

Power corrupts, and financial power corrupts the financial system.

Each alone legitimately transfers risk to those better able to bear it, or backs financial holdings. But, when over used by systemically vital firms, they can blow up the financial system, owing to its design defects.

(b) Reviewing risk management and the internal control system

Our aim should be to invent financial mechanisms for segmenting and spreading risk, so that one bad case no longer has the potential to destroy the whole system.

The current system, which allows privatized gains from highly leveraged risk taking but socializes losses in the event of failure, must be changed to avoid episodic financial meltdowns.

A Financial Early Warning System

The aim is to curb risk taking by financial institutions.

At the Washington Summit last November, the EU suggested a basic principle all markets, all territories, and all actors putting the global financial system at risk should be monitored.

Such institutional reforms would go a long way toward eliminating default (or bailout) risk and creating a market oriented financial system of balanced incentives that supports growth and innovation.

Similarly, positioning the IMF as a general risk insurer by introducing precautionary credit lines above normal access limits would be compatible neither with its mission to provide financial assistance on deliberately non risk adjusted terms nor with the current system of refinancing short term Fund credit through risk free official reserves.

Financial players use derivatives to transfer risk one player assumes the risk of, say, euro fluctuation, but doesn t want yen risk, while for another, it s the opposite.

The financial system is a complex interaction of lenders and borrowers, buyers and sellers, and savers and investors. When it functions well, it balances risk and reward, and innovation and safety.

Many emerging markets are now at risk of a severe financial crisis.

Financial deregulation together with easy money had contributed to excessive risk taking.
