Cuadra and Nuguer (Banco de Mexico) - Risky Banks and Macro-Prudential Policy for Emerging Economies
Motivation
Degree of interconnectedness among financial institutions ↑ ⇒ exposure ofEMEs to AE financial shocks ↑, global banks played a key role
Portfolio capital flows and cross-border banking flows (non-core
liabilities) create challenges for EMEs financial stability
volatile, short-term, and pro-cyclical
important channel of international transmission of foreign shocks
What can EMEs do to mitigate the effects of volatile portfolio capitalflows and cross-border banking flows, i.e. non-core liabilities? Implementmacro-prudential measures
Cuadra and Nuguer (Banco de Mexico) - Risky Banks and Macro-Prudential Policy for Emerging Economies
This paperDo cross-border banking flows play a role on propagating AE
financial shocks to EMEs?
What are the financial stability consequences in EMEs?
What can EMEs do to mitigate these effects?
1 Empirical Evidence + new VAR evidence on the transmission offinancial shocks from the U.S. to Mexico and Turkey (risky banks)
2 Two-country DSGE model
I financial intermediaries face an endogenous credit constraint a laGertler and Kiyotaki, 2010
I banks in the AE lend to banks in the EME, cross-border bankingflows or non-core liabilties
I banks in the EME might be constrained on how much they borrowfrom the AE, risky EME banks
3 Macro-prudential policy in the EME to mitigate the effects of thevolatility of banks’ non-core liabilities, a la Korea

Results
1 VAR, a negative quality of capital shock in the U.S. prompts anegative impact in the EME
I loans from U.S. banks to EME ↓I financial instability in the EME, credit ↓, GDP ↓I asset price co-movement across countriesI when EME banks are risky for U.S. banks, macro variables fall more in
the EME
2 Model replicates the facts from the VAR and matches the impulseresponse functions
3 Macro-prudential policy in the EME by ↓ the volatility of cross-borderbanking flows
I ↓ sources of financial instabilityI EME consumers are better off

Mechanism

Empirical Evidence
In the last few years, cross-border banking flows have been very volatile
financial crisis ⇒ ↓ of how much the U.S. lent to EMEs
UMP, ZLB interest rate ⇒ ↑ of capital flows to EMEs
normalization of MP ⇒ a new reverse of the capital flows?
Non-core liabilities have been financing the increase in credit with respectto deposits in EMEs (Lane and McQuade, 2014)
How much are cross-border banking flows with respect to households’deposits for Turkish and for Mexican commercial banks?
Turkey: 6.5%
Mexico: 1.9%
⇒ not big numbers but they can create lots of noise in the EME

Empirical Evidence VAR Results
The VAR evidence shows
1 An ↑ in the U.S. net charge-offs
I ↓ in the price of capital
I ↓ in bank lending to the EME
I financial instability in the EME, ↓ in credit and in GDP
2 Asset price co-movement across countries
3 When EME banks are risky for U.S. banks, credit and GDP fall more
in the EME
⇒ We build a model that replicates these facts from the VAR
A model without global banks cannot replicate the VAR evidence
Global banks explain the mechanism

I builds on Gertler and Kiyotaki (2010)
I banking sector
I endogenous credit constraint faced by financial intermediariesI U.S. (AE) banks invest (via EME banks) abroad - non-core liabilities
F U.S. is a relatively big economy with a big financial sector
F EME is a relatively small open economy with a small financial sector
I EME banks might run away with debt from AE banks - risky EME
banks
2 Study the transmission of a shock to the quality of capital in the U.S.
I models with global banks replicate the VAR-based evidence

Problem of EME banks
Cuadra and Nuguer (Banco de Mexico) - Risky Banks and Macro-Prudential Policy for Emerging Economies
Risky EME Banks
The parameter ω introduces a level of riskiness in the EME’ cross-borderbanking flows. EME banks can run away with a fraction θ∗(1− ω) ofinternational flows. ⇒ risky EME banks
For ω = 1

When EME banks can run away with a fraction of cross-border bankingflows, EME banks are more exposed to events in the AE.

F collapse of EME’s credit, financial instability

Source: own calculations with data from FRED 2002Q1 - 2014Q4. For Mexico, the cross-borderbank flows to deposits ratio is the ratio between deposits from financial institutions from abroadand deposits from households for the period 2004Q2-2015Q2, CF445, Bank of Mexico. ForTurkey, it is the ratio between total deposits from financial foreign institutions and total depositsfrom households in TRY for the same time period, Central Bank of Turkey.

Macro-Prudential Policy in the EMEThe Korean Experience
August 2011, the Bank of Korea put a levy on non-core liabilities
Purpose: non-core liabilities can generate systemic risk (procyclicaland global interconnection of financial institutions)
Result: share of short-term in total foreign borrowing by banksdropped from 64% as of end-June 2010 to 47% at end-December2012
In the Model
There is a cost (tax) when assets grow faster than deposits

Conclusions
1 Do cross-border banking flows (non-core liabilities) play a role
on propagating AE financial shocks to EMEs? Yes!
2 What are the financial stability consequences in EMEs of these
AE shocks?
I prompt instability for EMEs, credit and GDP fall
I specially when EME banks are risky for the AE
I models with global banks match qualitative evidence from the VAR
3 What can EMEs do to mitigate these effects?
I Macro-prudential policy: levy on non-core liabilities, i.e. foreign debt,
cross-border banking flows
I EME shows a smoother reaction with the intervention
I EME households are better off with the policy
