What is it about?
This chapter aims to highlight why a redefinition of the traditional roles assumed by banks - particularly prior to the GFC has adapted to the evolutionary changes which have taken place in the financial environment over the years. New actors, supervisory regimes, changes in financial regulatory and supervisory structures also contributing to such a redefinition.

Why is it important?
Moreover, in view of new macro prudential arrangements, traditional monetary policy tools now have to accommodate such tools as conservation and counter cyclical capital buffers as a means of addressing the changes which were not adequately provided for and addressed during the GFC. Lessons also learned during the GFC incorporate changing stances in monetary policies which used to focus on longer term horizons.
Perspectives
Whilst monetary policies have been (to a larger extent) argued to function more effectively where not subjected to short term vulnerabilities, other factors which have contributed to high levels of uncertainty and which could not have been reasonably forecast - by past or historical based data - necessitate forward looking techniques - as well as an incorporation of anticipated levels of uncertainty - even though current reliable sources of indicators may indicate otherwise.
