미국 중앙은행 연방준비제도(연준)를 비롯한 주요국 중앙은행들이 전통적인 ‘최종대부자’(lenders of last resort) 역할이 아닌, ‘최초대부자’(lenders of first resort) 역할을 맡고 있다는 비판이 제기됐다.
Critics have been criticized that central banks in major countries, including the Federal Reserve (Fed), are playing the role of Lenders Of First Resort rather than the traditional Lenders Of Last Resort.
