Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Central bank independence is now a major issue in debates about institutional reforms designed to improve economic performance. Professor Issing's paper is notable for its scholarly discussion of the meaning of 'independence' and his analysis of its effects. Moreover, because of his position inside the Bundesbank which is among the most independent of central banks and which provides a model for the constitution of the proposed European Central Bank he writes with a degree of expertise not available to most authors. Interest in central bank independence arose from the world-wide acceleration of inflation in the 1 970s which stimulated interest in means of 'anchoring' anti-inflation policy. Germany was in advance of other countries in recognising the importance of price stability and es-tablishing an institution to produce it, making the Bundesbank independent in 1957. Professor Issing argues that when independence is coupled with a price stability objective, economic performance appears to improve. Not only is inflation lower, but there is evidence that real growth is higher. In his view, central bank independence comes 'top of the list' of institutional arrangements designed to safeguard the stability of money.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There has been growing interest recently in the scope for promoting monetary stability through the establishment of independent central banks. This paper reviews the issues involved in central bank independence against the background of arrangements in nine countries. The analysis suggests that detailed institutional arrangements would need to be carefully designed if the potential benefits of central bank independence are to be delivered. Particularly important are the nature of arrangements to resolve various types of conflicts involving monetary policy, and arrangements to promote accountability and public monitoring of monetary policy performance.

Book Synopsis Central Bank Independence and Macro-Prudential Regulation by : Mr.Kenichi Ueda
Download or read book Central Bank Independence and Macro-Prudential Regulation written by Mr.Kenichi Ueda and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2012-04-01 with total page 27 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We consider the optimality of various institutional arrangements for agencies that conduct macro-prudential regulation and monetary policy. When a central bank is in charge of price and financial stability, a new time inconsistency problem may arise. Ex-ante, the central bank chooses the socially optimal level of inflation. Ex-post, however, the central bank chooses inflation above the social optimum to reduce the real value of private debt. This inefficient outcome arises when macro-prudential policies cannot be adjusted as frequently as monetary. Importantly, this result arises even when the central bank is politically independent. We then consider the role of political pressures in the spirit of Barro and Gordon (1983). We show that if either the macro-prudential regulator or the central bank (or both) are not politically independent, separation of price and financial stability objectives does not deliver the social optimum.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The proposed SDN would take stock of the current debate on the shape that monetary policy should take after the crisis. It revisits the pros and cons of expanding the objectives of monetary policy, the merits of turning unconventional policies into conventional ones, how to make monetary policy frameworks more resilient to the risk of being constrained by the zero-lower bound going forward, and the institutional challenges to preserve central bank independence with regards to monetary policy, while allowing adequate government oversight over central banks’ new responsibilities. It will draw policy conclusions where consensus has been reached, and highlight the areas where more work is needed to get more granular policy advice.

Book Synopsis Inflation Performance and Constitutional Central Bank Independence by : MissEva Gutierrez
Download or read book Inflation Performance and Constitutional Central Bank Independence written by MissEva Gutierrez and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2003-03-01 with total page 31 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper explores the relationship between the constitutional entrenchment of central bank independence and inflation performance. Empirical studies for developing countries have not found a relationship between central bank independence, proxied by the "de jure" independence established in the central bank law, and inflation. We argue that the constitution is likely to be better enforced than ordinary statutes owing to its higher legal rank. Our empirical analysis finds that in a sample of Latin American and Caribbean countries, those countries that entrench the independence of the central bank in the constitution have a better inflation performance.
Book Synopsis Central Bank Independence by : Jan Kleineman
Download or read book Central Bank Independence written by Jan Kleineman and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2021-10-18 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In December 1999, prior to the forming of a Stockholm Centre for Commercial Law, an international symposium entitled Central Bank Independence was held at the Department of Law at Stockholm University in co-operation with the Swedish Central Bank (The Riksbank) and Queen Mary and Westfield College, London University. The participants were principally political, economic and legal specialists in the field, all with considerable international experience. This led to the topic being examined in detail from many different perspectives. This publication includes contributions by the participants and contains many important facts for those readers who wish to study and understand the different consequences of the yielding of control over financial policymaking by the traditional political organisations to a body of experts. For readers in some countries, who realise that the subject will revolutionise traditional Constitutional and Administrative Law, the topic and therefore this publication, cannot be ignored.
Book Synopsis Central Banks at a Crossroads by : Michael D. Bordo
Download or read book Central Banks at a Crossroads written by Michael D. Bordo and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2016-06-09 with total page 719 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Throughout their long history, the primary concern of central banks has oscillated between price stability in normal times and financial stability in extraordinary times. In the wake of the recent global financial crisis, central banks have been given additional responsibilities to ensure financial stability, which has sparked intense debate over the nature of their role. Bankers and policy makers face an enormous challenge finding the right balance of power between the central bank and the state. This volume is the result of an international conference held at Norges Bank (the central bank of Norway). International experts and policy makers present research and historical analysis on the evolution of the central bank. They specifically focus on four key aspects: its role as an institution, the part it plays within the international monetary system, how to delineate and limit its functions, and how to apply the lessons of the past two centuries.

Book Synopsis Financial Citizenship by : Annelise Riles
Download or read book Financial Citizenship written by Annelise Riles and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2018-07-15 with total page 99 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Government bailouts; negative interest rates and markets that do not behave as economic models tell us they should; new populist and nationalist movements that target central banks and central bankers as a source of popular malaise; new regional organizations and geopolitical alignments laying claim to authority over the global economy; households, consumers, and workers facing increasingly intolerable levels of inequality: These dramatic conditions seem to cry out for new ways of understanding the purposes, roles, and challenges of central banks and financial governance more generally. Financial Citizenship reveals that the conflicts about who gets to decide how central banks do all these things, and about whether central banks are acting in everyone’s interest when they do them, are in large part the product of a culture clash between experts and the various global publics that have a stake in what central banks do. Experts—central bankers, regulators, market insiders, and their academic supporters—are a special community, a cultural group apart from many of the communities that make up the public at large. When the gulf between the culture of those who govern and the cultures of the governed becomes unmanageable, the result is a legitimacy crisis. This book is a call to action for all of us—experts and publics alike—to address this legitimacy crisis head on, for our economies and our democracies.
Book Synopsis Monetary Stability as a Common Concern in International Law by : Lucía Satragno
Download or read book Monetary Stability as a Common Concern in International Law written by Lucía Satragno and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2022-02-28 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The open access publication of this book has been published with the support of the Swiss National Science Foundation. In Monetary Stability as a Common Concern in International Law, Lucía Satragno argues that monetary stability is a global public good that must be promoted and protected at all levels of governance. In doing so, the book accomplishes two tasks. On one hand, it provides an up to date analysis of the role of law and institutions in the international monetary field since the collapse of the Bretton Woods system. On the other hand, it applies the methodological approach proposed by the novel doctrine of Common Concern of Humankind to monetary stability as a case study. Accordingly, the book examines not only the status quo of the international monetary system, but also looks at the ‘new and different realism’ that would be envisaged in monetary affairs in the case of a fully-fledged principle of Common Concern.
Book Synopsis Central Bank Independence and Unconventional Monetary Policies by : Marianne Ojo D Delaney PhD
Download or read book Central Bank Independence and Unconventional Monetary Policies written by Marianne Ojo D Delaney PhD and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The use of unconventional monetary tools and particularly, the resort by central banks to asset purchase programs instigated as a means of addressing prolonged periods of low inflation has not only generated new and innovative approaches to monetary policy channels aimed at facilitating the goals and objectives of central banking, but also led to the realization of the need to engage in more effective communication beyond the scope and ambit of traditional central banking. How have these developments shaped the definition that is, or rather, that should be attributed to Central Bank Independence? Which actors are assuming greater prominence and roles in a financial environment dynamically shaped by Information Technology and the digital (Modern) economy?"Central bank independence is not an end in itself. Its purpose is to ensure that the central bank is credible in its pursuit of price stability while making sure that monetary policy is never subservient to fiscal policy - what is known as monetary dominance."Further, the ECB President adds that, "central bank independence does not preclude communication with governments when it is clear that mutually aligned policies would deliver a faster return to price stability- and that rather, it only imposes limits on what such alignment could entail.....Specifically, it means that alignment between policies WHERE NEEDED must serve the objective of monetary stability and not work to its detriment. " (emphasis added)To what extent and limits is it necessary to engage unconventional monetary policies such that they do not subject monetary policy goals to fiscal policy needs? The dangers of prolonged periods of zero interest rates- coupled with low inflation are also brought to light in the academic literature. Hence whilst this chapter considers the merits and draw backs of certain unconventional monetary policies, it also contributes to the literature by justifying their implementation and rationales for recent global trends. This is facilitated by way of recommendations in respect of recent innovative optimal coordinated policy combinations adopted and put forward by selected jurisdictional central banks aimed at addressing gaps in monetary policy.
Book Synopsis Tumultuous Times by : Masaaki Shirakawa
Download or read book Tumultuous Times written by Masaaki Shirakawa and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2021-01-01 with total page 534 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A rare insider's account of the inner workings of the Japanese economy, and the Bank of Japan's monetary policy, by a career central banker The Japanese economy, once the envy of the world for its dynamism and growth, lost its shine after a financial bubble burst in early 1990s and slumped further during the Global Financial Crisis in 2008. It suffered even more damage in 2011, when a severe earthquake set off the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster. However, the Bank of Japan soldiered on to combat low inflation, low growth, and low interest rates, and in many ways it served as a laboratory for actions taken by central banks in other parts of the world. Masaaki Shirakawa, who led the bank as governor from 2008 to 2013, provides a rare insider's account of the workings of Japanese economic and monetary policy during this period and how it challenged mainstream economic thinking.
