Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The implementation of unconventional (nonstandard) monetary policy instruments by the leading central banks at the wake of the financial and economic crisis was the most significant shift in the practice of central banking in the recent years. Evaluation of their effects is not feasible without a thorough recognition of the transmission mechanism of various balance-sheet policies, such as quantitative easing. The transmission channels of a standard interest-rate policy are based on a group of theories that are relatively coherent and well-documented. On the contrary, identification of similar framework for unconventional measures proved to be a complicated task. The aim of this paper is to extract and evaluate the theoretical efficiency of particular channels of unconventional monetary policy. This goal requires references to at least several, to some extent mutually exclusive, theories. It is also inevitable to draw one's attention to the relative significance of identified channels, depending on the nature of used unconventional tools, as well as on reactions of financial institutions and other economic agents to undertaken actions. This paper discusses three broad channel of the unconventional policies transmission mechanism: the signaling channel, the liquidity channel, and the portfolio-balance channel.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Using a bank-firm level credit registry combined with firm-level balance sheet data we establish the presence of heterogeneity in the effects of unconventional monetary policy transmission. We examine the consequences of a loosening in the collateral eligibility requirement for credit refinancing in France. The policy was designed to affect bank lending positively. We expect a linear increase in lending and an additional increase in loans to firms with newly acceptable rating. We find a large heterogeneity of the monetary policy transmission including the unexpected reduction of lending by the banks benefiting the most from the policy. These are small, risk-averse banks whose foremost concern after the recession was to strengthen their balance sheets. Banks least affected by the policy respond with a reduction in credit to low risk borrowers in reaction to the change in the market structure. Last we document heterogenous effects of the policy on firms depending on their size.
Book Synopsis Unconventional Monetary Policy and Long-Term Interest Rates by : Mr.Tao Wu
Download or read book Unconventional Monetary Policy and Long-Term Interest Rates written by Mr.Tao Wu and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2014-10-22 with total page 49 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper examines the transmission mechanism through which unconventional monetary policy affects long-term interest rates. I construct a real-time measure summarizing market projections of the magnitude and duration of the Federal Reserve's Large Scale Asset Purchases (LSAP) program, and analyze the determination of term premiums and expectations of future short-term interest rates in a sample spanning more than two decades. Empirical findings suggest that the LSAP has effectively lowered the long-term Treasury bond yields, through both "signaling" and "portfolio balance" channels. On the other hand, the Fed's "forward guidance" also leads to gradual extension of market projections for the duration of the LSAP program, thereby enhancing the LSAP's effect to keep term premiums low. Estimation results also reveal a diminished effectiveness of the LSAP during QE III. Finally, model simulations underscore the importance of policy transparency in minimizing unnecessary market turbulence and ensuring a timely and smooth exit of the unconventional monetary policy stimulus.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To ease credit and financing conditions for firms and households, in recent years the ECB has taken a number of unconventional (non-standard) monetary policy measures. These measures include the provision of liquidity through the direct purchase of private and government assets (direct quantitative easing), the purchase of commercial paper, corporate bonds and asset-backed securities to address liquidity shortages and spreads in certain market segments (direct credit easing), the flattening of the yield curve by lending to banks at longer maturities (indirect quantitative/credit easing) and, finally, the commitment to keep long interest rates low over an extended period (forward guidance). Taking stock of available empirical evidence, the notes in this compilation provide an assessment of these measures. The notes have been requested by the Committee on Economic and Monetary Affairs as an input for the November 2016 session of the Monetary Dialogue.
Book Synopsis Unconventional Monetary Policies by : C. E. V. Borio
Download or read book Unconventional Monetary Policies written by C. E. V. Borio and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The recent global financial crisis has led central banks to rely heavily on "unconventional" monetary policies. This alternative approach to policy has generated much discussion and a heated and at times confusing debate. The debate has been complicated by the use of different definitions and conflicting views of the mechanisms at work. This paper sets out a framework for classifying and thinking about such policies, highlighting how they can be viewed within the overall context of monetary policy implementation. The framework clarifies the differences among the various forms of unconventional monetary policy, provides a systematic characterisation of the wide range of central bank responses to the crisis, helps to underscore the channels of transmission, and identifies some of the main policy challenges. In the process, the paper also addresses a number of contentious analytical issues, notably the role of bank reserves and their inflationary consequences.
Book Synopsis A New Wave of ECB’s Unconventional Monetary Policies: Domestic Impact and Spillovers by : Richard Varghese
Download or read book A New Wave of ECB’s Unconventional Monetary Policies: Domestic Impact and Spillovers written by Richard Varghese and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2018-01-24 with total page 33 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ECB President Draghi’s Jackson Hole speech in August 2014 arguably marked a new phase of unconventional monetary policies (UMPs) in the euro area. This paper examines the market impact and tranmission channels of this new wave of UMPs using a modified event study framework. They are found to have a more prominent impact on inflation expectations and exchange rates compared to the earlier UMP announcements. The impact on bank equity, however, is less significant in part due to narrowing profit margin in a low interest rate environment; and the marginal effect on sovereign spread compression has diminished. By extracting components of monetary policy shocks from the yield curve, we find that the traditional signaling channel of the monetary policy transmission continued to play an important role, but the portfolio rebalancing channel became more important in the new phase. Spillovers to non-euro area EU countries (the Czech Republic, Denmark, Poland, and Sweden) are transmitted mainly through the portfolio rebalancing channel, largely affecting sovereign yields and exchange rates.
Book Synopsis Unconventional Monetary Policy and Financial Stability by : Alexis Stenfors
Download or read book Unconventional Monetary Policy and Financial Stability written by Alexis Stenfors and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-07-15 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the financial crisis of 2008-09, central bankers around the world have been forced to abandon conventional monetary policy tools in favour of unconventional policies such as quantitative easing, forward guidance, lowering the interest rate paid on bank reserves into negative territory, and pushing up prices of government bonds. Having faced a crisis in its banking sector nearly a decade earlier, Japan was a pioneer in the use of many of these tools. Unconventional Monetary Policy and Financial Stability critically assesses the measures used by Japan and examines what they have meant for the theory and practice of economic policy. The book shows how in practice unconventional monetary policy has worked through its impact on the financial markets. The text aims to generate an understanding of why such measures were introduced and how the Japanese system has subsequently changed regarding aspects such as governance and corporate balance sheets. It provides a comprehensive study of developments in Japanese money markets with the intent to understand the impact of policy on the debt structures that appear to have caused Japan’s deflation. The topics covered range from central bank communication and policymaking to international financial markets and bank balance sheets. This text is of great interest to students and scholars of banking, international finance, financial markets, political economy, and the Japanese economy.
Book Synopsis Post Crisis Unconventional Monetary Policy in the UK, the US, and the EA. by : Mahmoud Fatouh
Download or read book Post Crisis Unconventional Monetary Policy in the UK, the US, and the EA. written by Mahmoud Fatouh and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper inspects the types and the sizes of the unconventional interventions of monetary authorities in the UK, the US, and the EU after the collapse of Lehman Brothers in 2008. It also describes the transmission channels through which the impact of the unconventional monetary policies is delivered into the wide economy, and it includes a survey of the literature of quantitative easing.The main findings can be summarized in three key points. First, the central banks of the UK, US and the Euro Area have employed asset purchase programs of different flavours and bought substantial amounts of different financial assets; mainly debt securities. Second, these asset purchases have led to a vast growth in the total assets of the Bank of England, the Federal Reserve and the Euro System which, in turn, reflected mainly on the size of commercial banks reserves with these central banks. Third, if the bank lending channel were to work, there should be a wide expansion in the size of the bank lending. However, the data suggests that there have been slight increases in commercial banks' credit relatively to the rises in amounts of reserves with the central banks. Accordingly, the bank lending channel seems to be blocked or not working for some reason or another.
Book Synopsis Negative Monetary Policy Rates and Portfolio Rebalancing: Evidence from Credit Register Data by : Margherita Bottero
Download or read book Negative Monetary Policy Rates and Portfolio Rebalancing: Evidence from Credit Register Data written by Margherita Bottero and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2019-02-28 with total page 59 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We study negative interest rate policy (NIRP) exploiting ECB's NIRP introduction and administrative data from Italy, severely hit by the Eurozone crisis. NIRP has expansionary effects on credit supply-- -and hence the real economy---through a portfolio rebalancing channel. NIRP affects banks with higher ex-ante net short-term interbank positions or, more broadly, more liquid balance-sheets, not with higher retail deposits. NIRP-affected banks rebalance their portfolios from liquid assets to credit—especially to riskier and smaller firms—and cut loan rates, inducing sizable real effects. By shifting the entire yield curve downwards, NIRP differs from rate cuts just above the ZLB.
Book Synopsis Unconventional Central Bank Measures for Emerging Economies by : Mr.Etienne B. Yehoue
Download or read book Unconventional Central Bank Measures for Emerging Economies written by Mr.Etienne B. Yehoue and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2009-10-01 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Unconventional central bank measures are playing a key policy role for many advanced economies in the 2007-09 global crisis. Are they playing a similar role for emerging economies? Emerging economies have widely used unconventional foreign exchange and domestic short-term liquidity easing measures. Their use of credit easing and quantitative easing measures has been much more limited. Thus, unconventional measures are much less important for emerging economies compared to advanced economies in achieving broader macroeconomic objectives. The difference can be attributed to the relatively limited financial stress in emerging economies, their external vulnerabilities and their limited scope for quasifiscal activities.
Book Synopsis Financial Frictions and the Design of Optimal Monetary Policy by : Benjamin Schwanebeck
Download or read book Financial Frictions and the Design of Optimal Monetary Policy written by Benjamin Schwanebeck and published by kassel university press GmbH. This book was released on 2018-07-02 with total page 6 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The financial crisis proved strikingly that the structure of the financial system and financial frictions play a crucial role for the effectiveness of monetary policy but also for system risk. Policymakers have overlooked financial intermediation and financial stability. Shadow banks and especially in the euro area the interbank market play a crucial role in propagating financial turmoil. This dissertation addresses these circumstances and contributes to the research on the optimal design of macroeconomic policy with a particular focus on monetary unions with heterogeneous financial sectors. As the consequences for monetary policy are at the heart of this thesis, I use state-of-the-art dynamic stochastic general equilibrium models and implement financial intermediation and frictions to analyze the transmission channels and interactions of (optimal) fiscal, monetary, macroprudential as well as unconventional monetary policy.

Download or read book Macroeconomic Shocks and Unconventional Monetary Policy written by Naoyuki Yoshino and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2019 with total page 345 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Barely two decades after the Asian financial crisis Asia was suddenly confronted with multiple challenges originating outside the region: the 2008 global financial crisis, the European debt crisis, and finally developed economies' implementation of unconventional monetary policies. The implementation of quantitative easing, ultra-low interest rate policies, and negative interest rate policies by a number of large central banks has given rise to concerns over financial stability and international capital flows. Macroeconomic Shocks and Unconventional Monetary Policy: Impacts on Emerging Markets explains how shocks stemming from the global financial crisis have affected macroeconomic and financial stability in emerging Asia. Macroeconomic Shocks and Unconventional Monetary Policy: Impacts on Emerging Markets brings together the most up-to-date knowledge impacts of recent macroeconomic shocks on Asia's real economy; the spillover effects of macroeconomic shocks on financial markets and flows in Asia; and key challenges for monetary, exchange rate, trade and macro prudential policies of developing Asian economies. It is authored by experts in the field of international macroeconomics from leading academic institutions, central banks, and international organizations including the International Monetary Fund, the Bank for International Settlement, and the Asian Development Bank Institute.

Download or read book Unconventional Monetary Policies - Recent Experiences and Prospects - Background Paper written by International Monetary Fund. Fiscal Affairs Dept. and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2013-04-18 with total page 47 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper provides background information to the main Board paper, “The Role and Limits of Unconventional Monetary Policy.” This paper is divided in five distinct sections, each focused on a different topic covered in the main paper, though most relate to bond purchase programs. As a result, this paper centers on the experience of the United States Federal Reserve (Fed), the Bank of England (BOE) and the Bank of Japan (BOJ), mostly leaving the European Central Bank (ECB) aside given its focus on restoring the functioning of financial markets and intermediation. Section A explores whether bond purchase programs were effective at decreasing bond yields and, if so, through which channels. Section B goes one step further in evaluating whether bond purchase programs had—or can be expected to have—significant effects on real growth and inflation. Section C studies the spillover effects of bond purchases on both advanced and emerging market economies, using very similar methods as introduced in the first section. Section D breaks from the immediate focus on bond purchases to discuss how inflation might decrease the debt burden in advanced economies, in light of possible pressures that could fall (or be perceived to fall) on central banks. Finally, Section E discusses the possible risks of exiting given the very large central bank balance sheets.
Book Synopsis The International Transmission of Monetary Policy by : Claudia M. Buch
Download or read book The International Transmission of Monetary Policy written by Claudia M. Buch and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper presents the novel results from an internationally coordinated project by the International Banking Research Network (IBRN) on the cross-border transmission of conventional and unconventional monetary policy through banks. Teams from seventeen countries use confidential micro-banking data for the years 2000 through 2015 to explore the international transmission of monetary policies of the U.S., euro area, Japan, and United Kingdom. Two other studies use international data with different degrees of granularity. International spillovers into lending to the private sector do occur, especially for U.S. policies, and bank-specific heterogeneity influences the magnitudes of transmission. The effects are supportive of the international bank lending channel and the portfolio channel of monetary policy transmission. They also show that the frictions that banks face matter; in particular, foreign currency funding and hedging considerations can be a key source of heterogeneity. The forms of bank balance sheet heterogeneity that differentiate spillovers across banks are not uniform across countries. International spillovers into lending can be large for some banks, even while the average international spillovers of policies into nonbank lending generally are not large.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This paper quantifies the impact of the most important ECB's non-standard monetary policy measures on asset prices in the euro area and globally. The paper also tests for a number of transmission channels of policies to asset markets, including a portfolio balance channel and different risk channels. The results show that ECB policies were beneficial on impact for asset prices in the euro area and lowered market fragmentation in bond markets. Spillovers to advanced economies and emerging markets included a positive impact on global equity markets and confidence. They show that ECB policies lowered credit risk among banks and sovereigns in the G20 countries, while they did not lead to international portfolio rebalancing across regions and assets."--Abstract.
Book Synopsis Unconventional Policies and Exchange Rate Dynamics by : Gustavo Adler
Download or read book Unconventional Policies and Exchange Rate Dynamics written by Gustavo Adler and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2017-11-13 with total page 38 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We study exchange rate dynamics under cooperative and self-oriented policies in a two-country DSGE model with unconventional monetary and exchange rate policies. The cooperative solution features a large exchange rate adjustment that cushions the impact of negative shocks and a moderate use of unconventional policy instruments. Self-oriented policies (Nash equilibrium), however, entail limited exchange rate movements and an aggressive use of unconventional policies in both countries. Our results highlight the role of international policy cooperation in allowing the exchange rate to play the traditional role of shock absorber.
Book Synopsis Inside Money, Investment, and Unconventional Monetary Policy by : Lukas Altermatt
Download or read book Inside Money, Investment, and Unconventional Monetary Policy written by Lukas Altermatt and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I develop a model that explicitly takes the role of financial institutions in the transmission mechanism of monetary policy into account. Within this model, I find various equilibrium environments, with one of them resembling a standard environment for monetary policy and another one akin to a liquidity trap. I analyze what the effects of various monetary policy measures such as quantitative easing, open-market operations, helicopter money and negative interest rates are in all of these environments. I find that open-market operations, quantitative easing, and negative interest rates on reserves are powerless in a liquidity trap, while helicopter money can be used to increase investment. The model also shows that a floor system allows a central bank to implement monetary policy with less side effects, but at the cost of losing control over inflation through open-market operations.
