Since the 2015 FSAP, the NBG has significantly strengthened its institutional framework for macroprudential policy and put in place a comprehensive toolkit. Among other reforms, to strengthen the transparency of and accountability for macroprudential policy, the NBG published its Macroprudential Policy Strategy in 2019, which sets out five intermediate objectives: (i) mitigating and preventing excessive credit growth and leverage; (ii) mitigating and preventing excessive maturity mismatch and market illiquidity; (iii) limiting direct and indirect exposure concentrations; (iv) limiting the systemic impact of misaligned incentives with a view to reducing moral hazard; and (v) reducing dollarization of the financial system.
