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

↓ net worth ↓ credit↓ quality of K

↓ asset price

↓ investment

↓ output↓ global lending

↓ net worth ↓ credit

↓ asset price↓ investment↓ output

Risky Banks: ↓↓ global lending ⇒ ↓↓ credit

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 safe vs. risky banks

The Model

1 Two-country DSGE model

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

3 Analysis of macro-prudential policy in the EME

I welfare evaluation for different intensity of macro-prudential policy

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.

Experiments and Evaluation of the Model

1 Calibration and steady state comparison

2 Response of the model to a quality of capital shock in the AEI Model with safe global banks ω = 1

F transmission across countries with asset price co-movement

F cross-border banking flows fall

F collapse of EME’s credit, financial instability

I Safe vs. risky EME banks 0 < ω < 1

F cross-border banking flows fall more

F deeper transmission of the financial instability

3 VAR-base evidence vs. model simulation

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

Cuadra and Nuguer (Banco de Mexico) - Risky Banks and Macro-Prudential Policy for Emerging Economies

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
