The OFR posted today a blog by Director Richard Berner, entitled, “Lessons from the Financial Crisis – Eight Years Later.” In the blog, he said the financial crisis of 2007-09 now seems distant, and the chance of a future financial disruption seems remote. So it’s not surprising that some question why we need continued vigilance over financial stability. But, if nothing else, we learned in the crisis that vigilance is vital.
The blog is posted on the OFR website at: https://www.financialresearch.gov/from-the-director/.
We also rearranged the OFR website today to make it more intuitive for users and content easier to find. The main website navigation (the dropdown menus in blue at the top of each page) has two new categories for Publications and Monitoring Tools.
The Publications category contains links to OFR reports, briefs, working papers, and other publications. The Monitoring Tools category has links to the U.S. Money Market Fund Monitor, Financial Stability Monitor, and other tools.
The changes also include moving Grants and Research Staff to the Inside the OFR category.
