Until the Asian financial crisis, it was a web without a spider at its center. When Hans Tietmeyer, a former head of the Bundesbank, was asked by G-7 finance ministers to review its effectiveness, he recommended a new spider, known as the Financial Stability Forum (FSF), which would examine the financial system as a whole and try to identify vulnerabilities that might cause future trouble.
这一精巧结构（出资之外还有很多机构）在20世纪八九十年代被拼凑起来。亚洲金融危机前，它就好比是一张中央没有蜘蛛的蛛网。前德意志联邦银行行长汉斯·提特梅尔（Hans Tietmeyer）受七国集团财政部长要求评估它的效率。他建议加入一只蜘蛛，即为人所熟知的金融稳定论坛（Financial Stability Forum，FSF）。金融稳定论坛考察金融体系整体，并试图找到可能引发未来麻烦的弱点。
