However, such legal protection also entails enhanced accountability. To this end, the paper provides a selected overview of legal protection for central banks and financial supervisors (if the supervisor is part of the central bank), focusing on liability, immunity, and indemnification arrangements, and based on the IMF's Central Bank Legislation Database. The paper also uses data from the IMF's Article IV and FSAP Database, and the IMF MCM's Technical Assistance Database. It lists selected country cases for illustrative purposes. It introduces the concepts of 'appropriate legal protection' and 'function-specific legal protection' as topics for further research.
