The main function of the Financial Stability Committee is to consider periodic conjunctural and cyclical assessments of risks to the broad financial system, and to consider, initiate and monitor possible steps to mitigate them. Another logical function of the committee is to consider periodic qualitative assessments of the financial system’s inherent strength against objective standards such as the Financial Stability Board’s (FSB) “Twelve Standards” framework, and against the generic objectives of stability, efficiency and fairness. In late 2010, the SARB decided to elevate and reconstitute its Financial Stability Committee to a level equal to and alternating with the Monetary Policy Committee meetings.
