In case you stay up at night worrying about the next financial crisis, the good folks at the Financial Stability Board have produced a nice soothing little video (original link in case the embed doesn't work, and so you can see that no, I'm not making this up),
The short summary:
Safer, Simpler, Fairer
3 July 2017
A decade on since the start of the global financial crisis, G20 countries have rebuilt the financial system so that it serves society, not the other way round.
By fixing the fault lines that caused the crisis, the financial system is now safer, simpler and fairer than before.
View and share our videos that explain the G20's work to reform the financial system.As cheery propaganda, it's not quite up to the Chinese "belt and road" video standard, but pretty good. It needs more puppies and singing children. As unintentional humor, it scores highly. I mean, wasn't "safer" enough, questionable as it is? Did they really have to stretch for simpler and fairer? I don't think Dodd and Frank themselves buy that one. As a good link to have around for the next financial crisis, better still. As an insight into the wisdom of the Financial Stability Board... well, sometimes I find things that leave even me sputtering to find a pithy summary. You'll have to enjoy it on your own, and try to come up with something good in the comments.
Update: Look at the "capital" bucket. What capital ratio is in the video? What capital ratio is in real life?
