Outright fiscal spending: Provides direct fiscal stimulus, but permanently impacts the budget

Deferrals:Provide temporarily liquidity relief with temporary fiscal impact to be offset later

Guarantee schemes:Provide breathing space for businesses,with fiscal impact being deferred

• Healthcare expenses: Financing measures to address public health issues created by the crisis, including expanding healthcare capacity, purchase of equipment and infrastructure, protective measures

• Short-term worker benefits: Subsidy of wages for temporarily underemployed workers to prevent layoffs, provide relief for businesses and allow for swift restart once economic activity resumes

• Unemployment benefits: Social benefits for the unemployed, including financial injections into unemployment insurance funds

• Cancellation of taxes and social security contributions for a limited time period

• Suspension of tax and social security paymentsto provide liquidity relief

• Credit lines for businesses– Provided through the banking system (facilitated

by development banks) with and without risk sharing with banks

– Direct credit extension by existing and newly created state funds

– Increases leverage and weakens financial position of supported companies, can therefore negatively impact growth

• Equity injection by the state in private enterprises to support solvency and broader economic policy

EUROZONE RESPONSES HAVE PREDOMINANTLY BEEN TAKEN AT NATIONAL (MEMBER STATE) LEVEL, BUT SHARE COMMON THEMES

Actions were taken at member-state level as industrial and social policy is member-state, not EU-level responsibility! Size of measures varies greatly across member states

Page 9: WEBINAR: COVID-19 FINANCIAL POLICY RESPONSES · 2020. 8. 7. · WEBINAR: COVID-19 FINANCIAL POLICY RESPONSES. International and U.S. relief programs, with a deep dive on the Main

ALTHOUGH UNPRECEDENTED STEPS HAVE BEEN TAKEN AT EU-LEVEL TO FACILITATE MEMBER STATE ACTIONS, IT MIGHT NOT BE ENOUGH

The EU has substantially relaxed existing rulebook• Limits of the “Stability and Growth Pact” have been suspended (max 60 percent Debt/GDP, max 3

percent primary deficit)• State aid rules have been relaxed to allow for member-state support measures targeting businesses

… it is again on the ECB to do “whatever it takes”• Establishment of a Pandemic Emergency Purchasing Program to put up a firewall to protect weak

sovereigns and avert funding stress in corporate debt markets (overall volume EUR 750bn, can be expanded)

Still, member states’ headroom depend on their fiscal firepower• Prohibition of fiscal transfers is a key pillar of the European Monetary Union• Mobilization of European Stability Mechanism (2 percent EZ GDP)• Safety nets developed during the Euro crisis (European Stability Mechanism) address liquidity issues

onlyIn absence of a EU-level fiscal capacity …• Pre-crisis attempts to establish a small Eurozone fiscal capacity have so far failed due to lack

of agreement on fiscal governance (target: 2 percent of EZ GDP vs 22 percent in US)• Agreement on debt mutualization (“Corona bonds”) failed, but Corona-specific transfers enjoy

political consensus

… but it is to be seen whether ECB can continue to substitute lack of political action ...… also in light of the recent decision of Germany’s Constitutional Court!

POLITICIANS AND THE FED HAVE RESPONDED WITH MASSIVE SUPPORT FOR THE ECONOMY

Huge fiscal stimulus Largest emergency government credit programs in U.S. history

Massive monetary stimulus Modest regulatory shifts to encourage lending

Pervasive support for credit markets

Page 16: WEBINAR: COVID-19 FINANCIAL POLICY RESPONSES · 2020. 8. 7. · WEBINAR: COVID-19 FINANCIAL POLICY RESPONSES. International and U.S. relief programs, with a deep dive on the Main

WE ARE LIKELY TO SEE SUBSTANTIALLY MORE STIMULUS

I believe officials are still underestimating the probable

economic impacts of the pandemic, in part due to the

likelihood of further lockdowns

• There is already considerable pressure for further stimulus– More aid for states– Infrastructure programs

• In an election year, politicians are likely to outbid each other on stimulus

• The Fed will step up its actions as well if the worst case economic reality occurs

• There do not appear to be any big short-term constraints to block fiscal or monetary stimulus, especially as inflation is not a short-term threat

Page 17: WEBINAR: COVID-19 FINANCIAL POLICY RESPONSES · 2020. 8. 7. · WEBINAR: COVID-19 FINANCIAL POLICY RESPONSES. International and U.S. relief programs, with a deep dive on the Main

THERE ARE STILL AREAS WHERE LIQUIDITY IS A MAJOR ISSUE…

Small businesses with proportionally smaller

employee bases (sometimes single proprietorships)

Commercial real estate Mortgage servicers

… and others

Page 18: WEBINAR: COVID-19 FINANCIAL POLICY RESPONSES · 2020. 8. 7. · WEBINAR: COVID-19 FINANCIAL POLICY RESPONSES. International and U.S. relief programs, with a deep dive on the Main

…BUT THE POLICY FOCUS NEEDS TO SHIFT FROM LIQUIDITY TO SOLVENCY• There was too much financial leverage in the corporate sector to start with

• Credit was the only fast way to respond to pandemic-related liquidity issues

• But, many businesses now have very fragile balance sheets and are at risk of bankruptcy

• Any new credit programs should be more discriminating, so we don’t encourage “zombie” companies that drag down our economy

• The government should encourage equity infusions

• We need to optimize our response to the necessary wave of balance sheet restructurings that could swamp our bankruptcy courts
