Textbook Model

• Assumptions• Y = Y(E, i) • E= (1+i)/(1+i*)Ē• No domestic imbalances• No intervention• Then, i* increases

• Policy response• Can maintain Y = `Y with right combination of i and E• 0< Δ i < Δ i*

• Too easy

7

E

Page 8: International Monetary Fund

• Nature of relationship• Correlation?• Causal?

• If causal, mechanism?

Page 9: International Monetary Fund

Balance Sheet Effects?

• Depreciation with fx debt stresses balance sheets

• Policy implication: greater increase in i (compared to baseline).

• But Δi increases burden of domestic debt

• Key: how important is fx exposure?

Liquidity Effects?

• Are liquidity effects inevitable?

• Not if exchange rate is freely floating

• Not if cb intervenes and sterilizes• Effectively, cb purchases bonds foreigners are selling• Provides liquidity to institutions deprived of funding

12

Page 13: International Monetary Fund

Poorly Anchored Expectations?

• Then, depreciation leads to inflation

• Implication: increase in i, compared to baseline

• Key: are expectations generally fragile?

Macro Vulnerabilities?(initial conditions)

Page 16: International Monetary Fund

A New World

• EM world has changed since the 1990s

• Central banks target inflation

• Exchange rates are largely floating

• Macro stability has improved

• Any reason left to fear outflows?

16

Page 17: International Monetary Fund

Back to Model

• Assume:• Current account given in short run• No FX intervention

• Then if foreigners sell, domestics must buy• Need different preferences

17

Page 18: International Monetary Fund

Distribution Effects

• Possibility: • Foreign sales cause asset prices to fall• Financial accelerator goes in reverse, bankruptcies

• But if asset prices determined by fundamentals (NPV of earnings), flows irrelevant

• Further assume:• Prices detached from fundamentals• Or foreigners have lower discount rate

• Then when foreigners sell to domestics, asset prices can fall

Financial Disruptions

• Foreign bank cuts funds to subsidiaries

• Subsidiaries have firm-specific knowledge

• Certain firms lose access to credit

FX Intervention

• Should intervention policy be symmetric?• Reserves adequate• Can avoid attack by fixing quantities, not prices

• Possible rule: sell x dollars for every 100 in outflows

24

Page 25: International Monetary Fund

Conclusion

• Capital outflows a serious problem when• Fx debt exposures significant• Inflation expectations poorly anchored• Macro vulnerabilities

• Conditions now less prevalent• But outflows may still affect asset prices, disrupt credit

• Policy response can be very different.• Less need to increase i• More scope for depreciation• Can decumulate some reserves
