A common prescription is to impose macroprudential policies, including prudential capital controls, to limit international borrowing especially in foreign currency. This paper analyzes the supportive role of macroprudential policies geared toward the domestic financial market, suggesting that emerging markets should resort to a wide mix of policies, even when the domestic financial market is frictionless. A simple formula provides further insights: domestic and international macroprudential policies are imperfect complements rather than substitutes, due to distinctive characteristics of foreign and domestic currency bonds. Furthermore, the relative importance of domestic macroprudential regulation increases in the return of domestic bonds.","PeriodicalId":178626,"journal":{"name":"ERN: Monetary & Fiscal Policies in Emerging Markets (Topic)","volume":"105 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114224213","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

From theory, I identify key statistics that summarize systematic relationships between marginal propensity to consume (MPC) heterogeneity and shock exposure. Heterogeneous exposure across high-MPC and low-MPC households drives aggregate consumption responses through various redistribution channels. Using micro-data and a calibrated heterogeneous agent New Keynesian model, I gauge the importance of these channels. Most importantly, an unbalanced distribution of foreign-currency nominal wealth significantly amplifies the negative consumption impact of depreciation when more responsive agents are disproportionately less insured against wealth revaluation.","PeriodicalId":178626,"journal":{"name":"ERN: Monetary & Fiscal Policies in Emerging Markets (Topic)","volume":"405-408 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-08-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132460435","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

By focusing on the research question of whether there is a role played by the central bank to stabilize international prices in open economies or it should solely aim to prevent fluctuations in domestic inflation and output, the author found out that utility-oriented loss function can be elaborated as a quadratic function of domestic inflation, output gap, and real exchange rate. In this brief article review, I analyzed the methodology, main deviations or modifications of the model, role of monetary policy, contributions of the study.","PeriodicalId":178626,"journal":{"name":"ERN: Monetary & Fiscal Policies in Emerging Markets (Topic)","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-05-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122287871","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Clarida et al. (1999) model was developed by adding financial stability as suggested by Tunay and Tunay (2019). Then, the macroeconomic effects of financial shocks and the reaction of the central bank to it were analyzed empirically. Using data set collected from Brazil, China, India, Russia, South Africa and Turkey, a structural panel VAR model was estimated. The findings show that the financial shock caused significant and permanent fluctuations in the output gap, inflation and interest rate. In addition, it has been observed that the inclusion of financial stability in the central bank's objective function causes asymmetric effects on the output gap and inflation, and deepens the bank's political trade-off.","PeriodicalId":178626,"journal":{"name":"ERN: Monetary & Fiscal Policies in Emerging Markets (Topic)","volume":"46 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-02-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121717938","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We make a recollection of the fiscal rule performance (instituted in 2014), including the use of “escaping clauses”, and assess the medium term outlook. The conclusion is that Colombia needs urgently a new tax-reform aiming at increasing tax collection in no less than 2% of GPD. Under this scenario, the ratio Gross Debt of Central Government/GDP could be stabilized at 65%-70%, increasing the probability of Colombia maintaining her investment grade status. The bulk of the expected tax gains would come from extending the 19% VAT and reversing tax-brakes granted recently to firms. Some adjustments could also be done on households taxes of medium-high strata, although they were recently increased in a significant manner, including the wealth-tax. Under a more ambitions tax-raising scenario of up to 3.7% of GDP, Colombia could substitute firm’s non-wage costs, but this would entail a budgetary effort of 1.3% of GDP.The institutional settings of the fiscal rule and the medium-term projections ordered by laws have served well Colombia. However, we recommend to re-focus the fiscal rule to aim at not surpassing certain threshold of the central government gross debt/GDP ratio and instrumenting it through a primary surplus target. The strategy is to replicate at the fiscal level the successful “inflation-targeting” used by monetary authorities in Colombia.","PeriodicalId":178626,"journal":{"name":"ERN: Monetary & Fiscal Policies in Emerging Markets (Topic)","volume":"64 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124057486","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Furthermore, high-debt countries experience larger increases in interest rates in response to (iv) an unexpected decline in domestic output and (v) an increase of global volatility.

{"title":"Financial Regulator’s Dilemma Amidst Persistent Fragilities","authors":"Nishadi Thennakoon","doi":"10.2139/ssrn.3770424","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.2139/ssrn.3770424","url":null,"abstract":"Addressing the Seventh Asian Monetary Policy Forum, Chief Economist of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) Gita Gopinath stated that the world economic growth trajectory was on a shrinking trend. It will very likely be worse than what we had projected, she said. While most of the economies are focusing on re-opening, there have been reports regarding a possible second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic as well. The adverse impacts this can have on economic resilience does not require elaboration. The novel corona epidemic generated exceptional challenges which required exceptional solutions. Financial regulators have come up with very flexible macroprudential support to address acute market stress during the pandemic. In keeping with such international policy measures, the Central Bank of Sri Lanka (CBSL) also introduced extraordinary regulatory measures to provide relief to pandemic-affected individuals and businesses. Accordingly, Domestic Systemically Important Banks (D-SIBs) and non-D-SIBs were allowed to draw-down their Capital Conservation Buffers by 100 bps and 50 bps, respectively, to facilitate uninterrupted credit flows to the economy.The CBSL also withdrew the requirement to classify all credit facilities extended to a single borrower as non-performing when the aggregate amount of all outstanding non-performing loans granted to such borrower exceed 30% of total credit facilities.Sri Lanka’s business sector has been facing extreme challenges as the pre-Covid-19 economy also carried dark spots which have now been compounded. The tourism and travel industries were severely affected by the Easter Sunday bombing which occurred, in April 2019, and all businesses, in general, were affected by the pre-election political uncertainty which emerged towards the latter part of 2019. The banking sector was required to assist such businesses by providing debt moratoria and other relief packages introduced by the authorities during 2019 and in the beginning of 2020. The COVID-19 pandemic added new challenges for the country’s business sectors which were already vulnerable. In response, new debt repayment deferral policies were introduced to alleviate cash flow pressures on businesses and households. All such persistent fragilities in the economy and uncertainty about an end date of the health crisis have put severe strains on the financial system. The CBSL, as the prime regulator of the financial system, has a crucial task to ensure banks keep credit flowing to the real economy while preserving the safety and soundness of individual institutions and the entire system. However, the regulator alone cannot prepare the financial system and the economy to withstand the unfolding of a crisis of unprecedented scale. The purpose of this article is to invite the attention of all the stakeholder authorities to focus on the need for policy measures to be formulated to strike a delicate balance between the positive countercyclical role of financial intermediation du","PeriodicalId":178626,"journal":{"name":"ERN: Monetary & Fiscal Policies in Emerging Markets (Topic)","volume":"58 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133495530","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We find that ASEAN region banks react anticyclically in adjusting their capital buffer levels and credit risk. We find revenue diversification benefits and that banks, through revenue diversification, can reduce their credit risk while achieving capital savings when confronting economic downturns. Our results offer support for the Basel III accord. However, the relations revealed are somewhat moderated by the regulatory quality, competition, and phase of the business cycle encountered by ASEAN region banks.","PeriodicalId":178626,"journal":{"name":"ERN: Monetary & Fiscal Policies in Emerging Markets (Topic)","volume":"44 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-02-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117205258","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

At the same time, real interest rates have declined sharply. This paper studies whether population aging has contributed to the real interest rate decrease in Korea. We first present empirical evidence that increases in life expectancy and the old-age-dependency ratio, and a fall in population growth, i.e., the population aging, decrease real interest rates. Then we calibrate a life-cycle model to capture the features of the old-age-dependency ratio and population growth in Korea, and show that population aging accounts for about one third of the fall in real interest rates between 1995 and 2018. Furthermore, according to simulation results, increased life expectancy is more important than decreased population growth in affecting the real interest rate decrease during the period.","PeriodicalId":178626,"journal":{"name":"ERN: Monetary & Fiscal Policies in Emerging Markets (Topic)","volume":"35 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126172153","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
