FRANKFURT: Central banks should have responsibilities over both monetary and macroprudential policies and their action should be both pre-emptive and strongly counter-cyclical, European Central Bank Vice President Vitor Constancio said on Tuesday.
"Macroprudential policy is complementary to monetary policy and should share the same status as a policy area," Constancio told a conference.
"Both areas need to work in close co-operation; central banks are more sensitive to macro-financial stabilisation goals; they possess more information about financial markets and the economy."
