Introduction

❶ The Global Financial Crisis (GFC) had profound ramifications not

only in terms of economic welfare, but also for economics and

economic policy.

❷ The main Advanced Economies (AEs) responded with various

policies (liquidity provision, private asset purchases), which were

underpinned with a high degree of monetary accommodation.

Shortly after, monetary policy turned to unconventional monetary

policies (UMP) (forward guidance, public asset purchases), as the

FED faced the zero-lower bound. The degree of monetary

accommodation was unprecedented (and still is).

❸ Emerging Market Economies (EMEs) fared well during and after the

GFC, and mostly benefitted from AEs’ policy responses. However,

AEs’ UMPs had significant implications, as they led to notable rises

in the level and volatility of capital inflows.

Unconventional Monetary Policies I

❹ UMPs brought about notable reactions and enquiries from policy

makers, scholars and international financial institutions.

❺ With notable capital inflows, EMEs policy makers faced tough choices:

An EME with a floating exchange rate likely observed large RER

appreciation pressures and a perceived loss in competitiveness

(also, recipient countries tended to increase their dollar denominated

debt significantly). On the other hand, an EME with a fixed ER, would

‘import’ the AEs’ monetary accommodation, which could be a problem if

inflation was above its objective.

❻ Did capital inflows really represent a Tsunami? Could they lead to

currency wars? Was it plainly just too much?

❖ Capital Flows Management? (IMF 2012);

❖ Capital Controls’ effectiveness? (Magud et al. 2018);

❖ Capital Deflection (Forbes et al. 2016).

Exchange Market Pressure (EMP) Index

❼ Exchange rate market pressure has been typically measured as a weighted sum of variations in the exchange rate, in reserves (scaled) and in the local interest rate. Their constructions are typically ad hoc.

❽ Goldberg and Krogstrup (2018) propose a similar index, primarily based on the BOP and UIP deviations, which provides their index with economic content. They argue that it accounts for capital flows, among other relevant variables.

❾ Their Exchange Market Pressure Index (EMPI) is a measure of capital flows’ pressures. In it, a positive EMP denotes an international capital outflow pressure (depreciation), and a negative EMP denotes a capital inflow pressure (appreciation).

Relevant Topics

➢ Competitive Easing (Rajan, 2014).

➢ How important is the Global Financial Cycle? What are its implications? To what extent does it affect local monetary policies?

❖ Helen Rey (2015). Has the Trilemma turned into a Dilemma?

➢ Given the externalities → the possibility of international policy coordination was raised (Mishra and Rajan, 2016).

❖ Coordination, however, is typically challenging to implement given the lack of an authority that could enforce it, and its associated (non-) cooperative collusive equilibrium is generally unstable.

Volatility in Financial Markets

❶ In the last few decades there have been, at times, episodes where volatility has increased considerably in financial markets.

❷ Historically, different phenomena have been identified and analyzed that can contribute to this. They entail externalities, market failures, problems with market infrastructures, and others.

❸ Among the most prominent ones, we have:❖ Incomplete information (Brunnermier 2001), e.g., investors are of two

types, good and bad, which are unobserved. Types can be deduced from performance. The bad might follow the good to hide their type.

❖ Asymmetric information (Brunnermier, 2001). A group of investors might follow another group assuming that the latter is better informed.

28

Page 28: XV Meeting of Monetary Policy Managers · economic policy. The main Advanced Economies (AEs) responded with various policies (liquidity provision, private asset purchases), which

Volatility in Financial Markets

❸ [continues…]❖ Rational bubbles (Blanchard and Watson, 1982). A group of investors

might knowingly ride a bubble. This feeds into the bubble and is sustainable so long as it does not burst. (There is another group with an optimistic view that directly feeds the bubble.)

❖ Informational Cascades (Bikhchandani et al., 1992). Investors see each other’s actions and sequentially receive a noisy signal. Under some conditions, the aggregate behavior of investors can change purely based on the signals.

In practice, all factors can be present and interact with each other, making herd-like behavior more likely.

29

Page 29: XV Meeting of Monetary Policy Managers · economic policy. The main Advanced Economies (AEs) responded with various policies (liquidity provision, private asset purchases), which

Global Monetary Game

❶ Global investors compare the expected return they can obtain in a core economy (e.g., US) against that of an economy in the periphery (an EME). The expected return in the core economy depends mostly on the expected path of the [US] policy rate. The expected returns of the EMEs largely depend on the positions of other global investors in that EME.

❷ Global Asset Management Companies (GAMs) have recently gained participation in financial markets. The nature of GAMs is different than that of previous dominant players, like banks. First of all, they are mostly unleveraged. Second, an essential feature of GAMs is that agency problems permeate investment relations.

❸ In effect, in the case of a GAM, there is typically a long chain of principal agent relations separating the owners of capital from the fund managers, who allocate the capital.

❹ A mechanism to mitigate such agency problems is to compare the performance of fund managers against a market index.

❺ Arguably, such a comparison makes fund managers averse to

ranking last among their peers (eg, Feroli et al. 2014). Fund

managers that rank last, or low, are punished through redemptions

and, more generally, reputationally.

❻ There is also the market structure of GAMs, which is characterized

by a substantial concentration of Assets Under Management.

There is the potential problem of having one fund holding a

significant portion of an EMEs asset; indeed, there could be players’

and investments’ concentration.

❼ What is more, GAMs use common analytical tools to measure

their risks and select optimal portfolios. As this makes price co-

movements more likely, it could reinforce herd behavior among

fund managers.

Notes: This Figure reports the number of delisted funds per year, by the following types: merging, liquidation, inactivity and other delisting. Data are

reported for 1,624 open-ended accumulation mutual funds with major or full allocation in equities, extracted for the period starting on Friday December

30, 1994 and ending on Friday January, 2010. At the end of the period totals were 418, 257, 82 and 12, respectively, for a grand total of 769. Thomson

Reuters Datastream. The date and the reason of the delisting are retrieved manually, mainly from Bloomberg. Source: Cogneau and Hubner (2015).

❽A relatively more recent issue has been the growth of

automated trading (AT), in particular, high frequency

trading (HFT). While this implies some benefits, it also

has brought new risks, some potentially unknown.

❾There is the depth of EMEs financial markets, and

market microstructure issues.

❿ In general, there has been a very intense search for

yield.

⓫All in all, these elements make herd behavior more

likely in EMEs financial markets. Thus, considerable

variations in financial asset prices can take place

without significant changes in fundamentals.

Capital Flow Volatility and Liquidity Risks

▪ Significant Risk: Liquidity.

Strong increase in the demand for higher risk assets (long-term bonds, corporate bonds, EMEs assets).

✓ Recent regulation, such as heavier capital weights and operating restrictions, have reduced traditional market-makers’ capacity.

✓ High concentration of players and investments. Dominant players: GAMs. ETFs, as well as specialized investors such as HFTs, dominate investments (crowded trades).

✓ Growing operation of anonymous electronic platforms, which dominate automated operations (intense liquidity demand vs. supply).

❖ Liquidity provision by algorithms during stress periods (i.e., kill switches).

✓ Investment vehicles (funds) offer more liquidity than that

allowed for by their investments.

Interconnectivity and Financial Stability

▪ Complexity, Liquidity and Financial Stability.

Low rates and instability. At least three channels: increased risk taking; credit standards are relaxed; increase the appeal of Ponzi games.

Fintech increases complexity through rises in interconnectivity and structural features of the ecosystem. An important aspect is the lack of information, as well as models to detect vulnerabilities and anomalies.

✓ IT applications through interfaces. Large increases in the number of software interacting with each other lead to a strong rise in the complexity of systems. Linear increase in software size exponentially rises complexity and maintenance costs. They also increase vulnerability points.

✓ Interconnectivity and direct and indirect exposures.❖ Importance of indirect exposures. Portfolios overlap is an important

source of contagion and systemic risk.❖ Concentration of certain asset holdings and asset fires-sales.

In general, more complexity makes regulation more challenging.

Global Monetary Game and High, Volatile

Capital Flows

❶Low natural interest rates in AEs. [Push]

❷Persistently higher inflation, term premia and growth

expectations in EMEs. [Pull]

❸Changes in risk-aversion? Intensive search for yield. [Pull]

❹New players (GAMs) (Liquidity ↑?). New ways to operate (HFT,

AT) (Liquidity ↓). Anonymous electronic platforms. [Pipes]

➢ Concentration of players, investment vehicles (ETFs) and exposures (Liquidity ↓).

➢ Crowded Trades (Liquidity ↓).

➢ Unrealistic redemption policies from GAMs (Liquidity ↓).

The interaction of these elements has resulted in the presence of

herd behavior, contributing to highly volatile capital flows. This, in

turn, has led to:

✓ A rise in the dollar-denominated debt issued by nonfinancial firms in EMEs.

✓ Vulnerability. But also, complacency?

Comments

The interaction of various elements in the context of a Global Monetary Game has

led to a considerable increase in the volatility of capital flows.

✓ This is possibly one of the most important challenges that EMEs currently face

in terms of macro management.

✓ Under these conditions, it´s very important that central banks understand the

different (and changing) aspects of the Global Monetary Game.

✓ Case in point: GAMs have substituted banks as the dominant players in EME

financial markets. GAMs are of a different nature (mainly unleveraged), and face

different incentives.

✓ For example, the interaction between fund managers and fund shareholders can

be thought of as a principal agent relationship.

✓ Adequate liquidity provision is crucial for EMEs to absorb shocks efficiently.

✓ Technological progress, for all its uses and benefits, can play an important role

in liquidity shortages, and can have adverse effects on financial stability through

increased interconnectivity (system complexity and indirect exposures).

✓ Main line of defense against capital flow volatility is sound macro management,

strengthening institutions and incentivizing the economy to be productive. No

shortcuts.

Global Monetary Game: EMEs’ Response

❶ International Reserves Accumulation, Exchange Rate Interventions,

Domestic Monetary Policy (Relative Monetary Stance?), Capital

Controls, Macroprudential Policies, Other Macro Policies, Liquidity

Provision, etc. (Menna and Tobal, 2018, Ramos- Francia et al.,

2019)

❷ Has it been too much?❖ The increase in capital flows (and their volatility) to EMEs during the last decade due

to an unprecedented US MP accommodation (and normalization? (QE and QT?)) has been significant. However, the increased difficulties in EMEs monetary policy (and, more generally, macro management) can hardly solely be attributed to US MP.

❖ One also has to consider local factors, such as vulnerabilities, macro responses, various frictions present in financial markets, as well as factors associated with EMEs’ financial markets’ microstructure, all of this in the context of a global monetary policy game (Morris and Shin, 2014).

❸ Good communication by the Federal Reserve in recent years has

been and will continue to be crucial.

Secular Stagnation?

The global environment has been characterized by low interest rates and weak economic growth. Secular stagnation(?). Three possible explanations.

✓ Potential growth (Solow-Romer factors).

❖ Demographic dynamics; educational plateau; income inequality; high

public debt.

✓ A persistent deviation from potential output.

❖ Insufficient growth in demand with respect to potential output: rise in

the global propensity to save, fall in the global propensity to invest.

✓Hysteresis.

→ These conditions are being reflected in low natural interest rates.

Main Points I

❶ The US FF (or Shadow Rate) is an important determinant of TPs in

EMEs. The case of the Shadow Rate is indicative of the general

implications of US UMPs.

❷ The US UMPs tend be statistically significant in several cases. The

signs of their associated coefficients are not always the expected ones.

❖ We hypothesize that one would more generally need to account for local factors. For

example, this is indeed the case for Mexico.

❸ The US TP is important for EMEs TPs in general. Nonetheless, the

magnitudes of associated coefficients have, on average, diminished

through the subsamples.

❖ When using the Shadow Rate, US TP have had a higher effect (on average) on the

LATAM EMEs, compared with all the considered EMEs.

❖ When we use the full sample, LATAM EMEs with a free-floating exchange rate seem

to be less exposed to the US TP. Thus, the coefficients of Mexico and Chile are lower

than those of Colombia and Brazil. This is echoed in the PC analysis.

Main Points II

❹ In general, bond inflows (outflows) impliy a reduction (increase) of the respective term premium. In this respect,

❖ Although Colombia and Brazil are relatively more closed than Chile and Mexico (based on their Chin-Ito index), bond flows affect Brazil and

Colombia’s term premiums to a greater extent.

❖ One would expect that the greater the use of macroprudential policies, the lower the impact of bond flows. However, TPs from LATAM EMEs with

relatively little activity in macroprudential policies such as Mexico (with rates

from 2 to 4) are less affected than Colombia (with rates from 6 to 7). We note that the MPI is a broad indicator.

❺ Some of the results are reflected in the principal component analysis of the TPs from the region.

❖ We have a very strong first component, accounting for 69% of the variance. The

first and second components account for 85% of the variance.

❖ Colombia seems to be the most sensitive to shocks on the first component, while

Chile seems to be the least. Brazil and Mexico respond very similarly to

variations in the first and second components.
