Concluding remarks 15. The international response to the credit crisis, coordinated by the Financial Stability Forum, is a crucial first step towards restoring financial stability. But I am sure that, at some point, our incentives will be tested again. Therefore, we need creative minds that help us to identify new imbalances at an early stage. These are great times for financial economists.
Traditional macroeconomic analysis and monetary economics have been extended by a variety of financial stability issues, with both micro and macro dimensions. I am confident that this conference will contribute to this interesting and rapidly developing field. BIS Review 67/2008  5
