Financial Stability Review – 2023 Focus Topics and Boxes

Starting in the October 2023 issue, the Financial Stability Review includes a Focus Topics chapter that provides complementary insights on key issues relevant to the Financial Stability Assessment. The content of these notes tend be analytical. Prior to this, boxes provided a similar function; however, now they are used as breakaway explainers that are closely related to the main text.
