"Things quickly took a turn toward financial stability risks in March, leaving central banks in a tough spot.”
— Sébastien Mc Mahon and Adil Mahroug, iAIM
Highlights:
- Central banks in North America and Europe are dealing with sticky inflation and bank turmoil at once, making their jobs even more difficult
- Quantitative tightening and flows towards money market funds are putting pressure on banks balance sheets, creating risks of liquidity incidents in some asset classes
- While central banks can put temporary mitigation solutions in place to support financial stability, we believe central bankers will likely be forced to adjust their stance
