Non-bank financial intermediation (NBFI) is defined as financial intermediation activities, such as lending, that are outside the traditional, regulated financial system where oversight and risk assessment are well established. Because of the important role that non-bank financial intermediaries play in the financial system and the many interlinkages between them and other financial institutions, it is necessary to better measure their activities to more comprehensively monitor risk.
