"Since 2004 the ECB has published twice a year the Financial Stability Review which provides an overview of the possible sources of risk and vulnerability to financial stability in the euro area. The review aims to promote awareness of issues that are relevant for safeguarding the stability of the euro area financial system both within the financial industry and among the public at large. By providing an overview of the possible sources of risk and vulnerability to financial stability, the FSR also seeks to play a role in preventing financial crises." (So die Theorie dieser Einrichtung.)
