Financial Stability Reports

The Financial Stability Report highlights key potential threats to U.S. financial stability, evaluates policy steps to reduce those threats, describes actions to improve U.S. financial data, and reports on key findings from OFR research. The report supplements the OFR’s Annual Report to Congress.

2017 Financial Stability Report

The OFR 2017 Financial Stability Report presents our annual assessment of U.S. financial stability. In Chapter 1, we highlight three potential threats to stability: vulnerability to cybersecurity incidents, resolution risks at systemically important financial institutions, and evolving market structure. In Chapter 2, we discuss our overall assessment of financial stability. We look at six categories of risk. We conclude financial stability risks remain in a medium range overall, although market risks are elevated. This report supplements our 2017 Annual Report to Congress.

2016 Financial Stability Report

The OFR 2016 Financial Stability Report contains our in-depth analysis of U.S. financial stability risks. The first chapter frames our analysis in five risk categories that we monitor regularly. The second chapter takes a deeper look at seven key threats. Four themes stand out: the potential for disruptions in the global economy to affect U.S. financial stability, risk-taking amid low long-term interest rates, risks facing U.S. financial institutions, and challenges to improving financial data. Overall, financial stability risks remain in a medium range. This report supplements our 2016 Annual Report to Congress.

2015 Financial Stability Report

The 2015 Financial Stability Report analyzes threats to financial stability, evaluates policies to reduce those threats, describes actions to improve U.S. financial data, and reports key findings from OFR research. This report supplements and precedes the OFR 2015 Annual Report to Congress, which the OFR will publish in January.
