:<span style="color:#4B0082">'''''Interaction and amplification'''''</span>
:"Herd behaviour has long been known to be an essential feature of financial markets.
:More subtly, individual reactions, by themselves rational, can, by the virtue of their mutual interaction, produce strong amplification effects.
:A broader definition of procyclicality would thus encompass three components, which cannot easily be distinguished in real life:
::(1) fluctuations around the trend
::(2) changes in the trend itself and
::(3) possible cumulative deviations from equilibrium value.
:This points to the policy challenges regulators face.
:They have to try and identify when pure cyclical fluctuations morph into something different: either a change in the trend itself or the start of a cumulative process."
:''Jean-Pierre Landau, Deputy Governor of the Bank of France, BIS Review 94/2009.''


Also known as a ''sovereign fund''.
