Interconnectedness: Financial institutions are highly interconnected through lending, borrowing, derivatives, and payment systems, creating channels for contagion.

Contagion: The rapid spread of financial distress or failure from one institution or market to others, leading to a domino effect.

Too Big To Fail (TBTF): Refers to institutions whose failure would pose such a significant systemic risk that governments often intervene with bailouts to prevent collapse, creating a moral hazardthe risk that institutions might take on excessive risks if they believe they will be bailed out.

Regulatory Arbitrage: Exploiting differences in regulatory frameworks to take on more risk, potentially contributing to systemic vulnerabilities.

Macroprudential Policy: Policies aimed at mitigating systemic risk by focusing on the financial system as a whole, rather than just individual institutions.

Early Warning Systems: Mechanisms and indicators developed to detect and prevent the build-up of systemic vulnerabilities.

Resolution Regimes: Frameworks for the orderly resolution of failing financial institutions to minimize their systemic impact and avoid taxpayer bailouts.

Procyclicality: The tendency of the financial system to amplify economic cycles, leading to excessive credit growth in booms and sharp contractions in busts, exacerbating systemic risk.
