Skinner details the creation of new FSOC priority work streams, including market and household resilience groups, an artificial intelligence group, and crisis preparedness tabletop exercises for cyber and geopolitical risks.
“So if that was sort of the day one project, you know, what do we mean by financial stability and what is going to be the crux of the analytical framework? Then, you know, the second order project was, OK, well, how's that going to shape our work? And so from there, we stood up a couple of working groups”
“So this was a way that we sharpened our crisis coordination skills and something that the FSOC had not done before. So we ran two tabletop exercises while I was at Treasury.”
