Tobias Adrian: "financial stability risks have been contained so far"

Financial stability risks have been contained so far and hopefully that will remain the case.  As a result, monetary policy can focus on fighting inflation and that's a desirable outcome.

[...]

I think that systemic risk has been contained to date and I'm confident in the crisis management toolkit that we have.  But I would not be surprised if there were other episodes of turmoil both in banks and nonbank financial intermediaries.
