In addition to the traditional overview of recent developments in the Belgian financial sector, the Financial Stability Review (FSR) contains a part devoted to an analysis of the resilience of financial infrastructures. The review is completed by four conceptual articles which deal with the proposed reforms in banking regulation and crisis management, the measurement of the systemic importance of financial institutions, cross-border banking in the presence of a European crisis management framework that is still largely nationally-based and an evaluation of market-implied ratings as timely credit risk indicators.

The additional half-yearly publication — which is only available in French or Dutch — offers a statistical overview of recent developments in the Belgian financial system, in the form of a series of tables and charts for credit institutions, investment firms, insurance companies, pension funds and public issues of securities.
