The Network for Greening the Financial System has published its first report

The members of the international Network for Greening the Financial System (NGFS) acknowledge in their first report that climate-related risks are a source of financial risk. The Network therefore clarifies that it is within the mandates of central banks and supervisors to ensure the financial system is resilient to climate-related risks.

In conjunction with the publication of the report last week, the Network, together with the World Bank Group, arranged a meeting in Bali to discuss how financial regulation can contribute to more sustainable development. One of the participants in the panel was Finansinspektionen's Chief Economist, Henrik Braconier.
