I might equally have talked about cyber risk or the impact of a credit correction in China. It is of course the job of policymakers like me to assess and address potential vulnerabilities like these, and we report on them regularly. But to me the bigger point is that at some point, in some way a correction will be triggered when the future, for whatever reason, does not match up to expectations of those who have lent and borrowed and bought assets. Our fundamental task is to ensure that when that happens, the correction can be absorbed and does not lead to a ‘great crisis’, as it did 10 years ago, with all the social and economic loss that entails. 13  All speeches are available online at www.bankofengland.co.uk/speeches  13  References Aikman, D, Nelson, B, and Tanaka, M (2015), ‘Reputation, risk-taking, and macroprudential policy’, Journal of Banking and Finance, Vol. 50. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jbankfin.2014.06.014 Aliber, R and Kindleberger, C (2005), ‘Manias, Panics, and Crashes’, Wiley Bank of England (2014), Financial Stability Report June 2014 Bank of England (2016), The Financial Policy Committee’s approach to setting the countercyclical capital buffer: a policy statement Bank of England (2017), Financial Stability Report November 2017 Bank of England (2019), Stress testing the UK banking system: key elements of the 2019 annual cyclical scenario Bernanke, B (1983), ‘Nonmonetary effects of the financial crisis in the propagation of the Great Depression’, American Economic Review, Vol. 73, No.
