Whenever a financial crisis occurs threatening a possible financial meltdown central banks have to be at the forefront in combating neutralizing the crisis and restoring financial stability and economic growth. In this regard the present sub-prime crisis which originated from the US highlights a few key issues for SEACEN central banks. This paper reviews the policy responses to the crisis which include exit policy strategies from stimulus monetary packages. To strengthen the soundness of the financial system going forward the paper also highlights counter-cyclical and macro-prudential regulations that central banks may want to actively look into. These include cross-border policy cooperation and coordination particularly in the form of the college of supervisors.
