I would certainly be missing the point of the topic I am dealing with if I were now to list the whole wealth of existing proposals on stabilising the financial system. There isn’t enough time for that anyway. Therefore, instead of going into details, I shall try to highlight the fundamental issues that underlie many of the recommendations for action.
I have chosen to take this approach not least because I am also constantly concerned with fundamental issues precisely as a result of my work and involvement in the Financial Stability Forum.
