Crisis insurance securities, tradable insurance credits (TICs)
Proposal from academia whereby the central bank offers banks a specific type of paper for purchase in return for a fee in profitable times. In times of crisis, the paper can then be exchanged for credit guarantees for financial products threatened by a decline in value. The background to this idea is that the central bank’s guarantee would prevent any panic selling and thus significantly reduce the economic losses of a crisis. – Critics pointed out that such crisis-proof securities could encourage banks to engage in careless business practices. – See moral hazard.
