BIS discussion paper provides overview of how objectives are set in macroprudential policy and how policy is communicated

Bank for International Settlements discussion paper sets out role that communication can play in macroprudential policy, both in terms of helping to anchor stakeholders' expectations but also in influencing stakeholders' behaviour. A greater effort is required to explain the macroprudential policy framework and to ensure that the goal of maintaining financial stability is valued by the wider public. This can facilitate taking policy actions early-on in the cycle, when instruments may be more effective and adjustment less costly.
