Liquidity and funding markets

About this book

"Against this backdrop, the theme of the 25th annual RBA Conference was liquidity and funding markets. The objectives were threefold: To examine how the role of these markets has evolved over time and how academics and policymakers have changed the way they think about these markets in light of the experience during the crisis. To understand better the dynamics at play during the financial crisis - such as the role of different intermediary types and the role of collateral markets - and to identify the particular points of vulnerability highlighted by the crisis. To reflect on the policy response to the crisis, examining how the exit from unconventional monetary policies and implementation of the breadth of regulatory change that has followed could transform the way that liquidity flows through the financial system and how funding markets function."--Introduction.
