Financial Stability 1/2000
Foreword

Norges Bank: Financial stability 1/2000
One of Norges Bank's main responsibilities is to foster robust and efficient payment systems
and financial markets. The Bank therefore analyses and reports on the
situation in the financial sector.
Norges Bank's report, Financial Stability, provides a comprehensive picture of
the situation in the financial sector and the outlook for the sector.
The report includes both analyses of developments in the sector, with
particular emphasis on banks, and the effects of macroeconomic developments
on financial sector developments.
Norges Bank has produced reports on financial stability
since 1995. Since 1997, edited versions of these analyses have been published
in Economic Bulletin. From this year, the report will be published separately.
