Central Banks as a Source of Knowledge for good financial crisis management

The 2008 financial crisis substantially increased public and scholarly discussion on central banks' roles. In order to guarantee efficient financial crisis management, this article looks at the structure of knowledge transmission from central banks to the legislature. The relationship between central banks and policy makers is investigated, drawing from a qualitative research that includes expert interviews with representatives of European central banks. According to the research, central banks possess a high degree of competence; yet, there are obstacles in the way of information transmission to political entities. Expert knowledge management has the potential to mitigate these deficiencies. Since the 2008 financial crisis, the organisation has made advances, but there are still shortcomings, especially in the areas of communication and policy-making. By doing so, this paper closes a research gap in the area of knowledge transfer between central banks and the legislative branch and provides recommendations for enhancing these procedures.
