Office Of Financial Research Update: “Looking Deeper, Seeing More: A Multilayer Map Of The Financial System”

The OFR released a brief today entitled, “Looking Deeper, Seeing More: A Multilayer Map of the Financial System,” and an accompanying blog by Stacey Schreft, OFR Deputy Director for Research and Analysis. The brief introduces a three-layer map to illustrate how the circulation of short-term funding, collateral, and assets may spread financial stability risks throughout the U.S. financial system. Potential vulnerabilities and contagion paths emerge as large banks, hedge funds, central clearinghouses, and other market participants become increasingly interconnected.
