Drawing on the perspectives of New Institutional Economics, Financial Stability Theories, and Resilience Theory, the model emphasizes that the impact of financial shocks—such as exchange rate volatility, sudden capital flows, and inflationary pressures—depends largely on the quality and responsiveness of institutional structures. Institutional capacity is conceptualized across three dimensions: preparedness, adaptability, and recoverability. Key factors such as central bank independence, rule of law, regulatory effectiveness, and governance quality are identified as critical components of systemic resilience. The proposed model highlights that financial stability is not only shaped by fiscal and monetary policies but also by institutional mechanisms that can anticipate, absorb, and respond to crises. The study further outlines priority areas for institutional reform, particularly for developing economies vulnerable to external shocks. By integrating institutional analysis into macro-financial frameworks, the research contributes an original perspective to the literature on economic resilience and financial vulnerability. Future studies are encouraged to empirically test this model across different country contexts and policy environments. 06 23 2026 06 23 2026 52 7 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/deed.en_US 10.37394/232029.2026.5.7 https://wseas.com/journals/asd/2026/a14asd-007(2026).pdf R.
