Importantly, macroeconomic #uncertainty appears to amplify the adverse effects of #financialvulnerabilities--such as #leverage--as well result in cross-border #spillovereffects via trade and financial #interlinkages. #GFSR #monetarypolicy #inflation #fiscalpolicy #macroprudentialpolicies #geopoliticaluncertainty
