Introduction
•
Key area of financial stability policy to be particularly developed further is macroprudential
supervision and regulation
•
Public oversight and regulation that aims at identifying and containing systemic risk
(rather than risks of individual
intermediaries or markets)•
One definition of systemic risk (ECB 2009): Risk that financial instability becomes so widespread that it impairs the functioning of a financial system to the point where economic growth and welfare suffer materially
•
Can involve all components of financial systems (“horizontal”)…–
Intermediaries (including so-called shadow banks),
–
Markets and–
Market infrastructures
…and two-way relationship with the economy at large (“vertical”)•
Today: Go from an economic framework, to the data needed and to the analytical tools to be fed with the data
3
Forms of systemic risk and analytical approaches
• SR 1: Contagion –
Contagion
and spillover models• SR 2: Endogenous build-up and unravelling of widespread imbalances
–
Early warning indicators and models• SR 3: Aggregate shocks –
Macro stress testing models

Range of data needed for macropru
•
Wide set of information–
Standard financial and macroeconomic data and statistics–
Supervisory data (in particular individual data) and statistics–
Market intelligence•
Range of financial (incl. supervisory) and macroeconomic data
(close to “ideal” list)–
Macro data/national accounting: Growth and components (aggregate shocks, real transmission), credit aggregates (widespread imbalances), flow of funds (real transmission), public finances (widespread imbalances), global imbalances (widespread imbalances, aggregate shocks)
–
Financial market data: asset prices (incl. high frequency or real estate), volatility
and interest rates (widespread imbalances, aggregate shocks, contagion), credit spreads (widespread imbalances, aggregate shocks), risk premia, attitudes towards risk (widespread imbalances, aggregate shocks), ratings (contagion), market activity (incl. high frequency; widespread imbalances)
–
On and off-balance sheet data
(incl. P&L; sufficiently timely and frequent)•
Financial intermediaries (incl. shadow banks, hedge funds etc.):
individual data (supervisory for regul. firms), granular breakdowns (items, maturities, exposures (direct and geogr.), currencies), default risk (contagion, widespread imbalances)
•
Non-financial firms: default risk, investment (aggregate shocks, real transmission)•
Households: wealth (incl. real estate), default risk, consumption (aggregate shocks, real transmission)
–
Payment and settlement data: Direction of flows, reconstruction of exposures (contagion)
•
Often multiple inputs for quantitative indicators or analytical models
5
Selected data challenges
•
Unavailability/gaps versus costs of reporting–
Financial institutions (e.g. shadow banks, hedge funds)
–
Financial markets (e.g. repo
markets, financial innovation)–
Granularity of off-
and on-balance sheet data
•
Confidentiality
versus access (e.g. EBA et al. 2011)–
Safety
–
Complicated use, irregular or no access–
Example: Direct exposures across intermediaries (key data!)
•
Standardisation
across sectors, authorities and databases–
Example: Statistical versus supervisory data (definitions, concepts, valuation rules etc.; e.g. ECB and CEBS 2010)
–
Legal identification and matching of entities and instruments (see next session, Gross 2010)
•
International issues: See above, US or EU should not go alone•
ESRB regulation provides it with the right to receive all the information it needs to fulfil its tasks (in particular from ECB
and
ESAs)•
Once ESRB/ESAs
agreed, Europe advanced very quickly
6
Composite indicator of systemic stress (“CISS”)
•
Scope: Equity, bond, money and FX markets plus banking (various sub-items) -
real time•
Basic sub-measures
include volatilities, trends, spreads, recourse to marginal lending (weekly data)•
Normalisation
between 0 and 1 and aggregation
weighted with correlations (“systemic”)

Widespread financial instability and the macroeconomy
•
Example from the ESCB Macroprudential
Research (MaRs) network (see Annex)
•
How is systemic financial instability transmitted through the aggregate economy: For example September/October 2008
•
Answers needed, inter alia, for –
forecasts
–
regulatory impact assessments•
Bayesian multivariate Markov-switching vectorautoregression
model
(Hartmann, Hubrich, Kremer and Tetlow
2011)•
Key ideas:–
Introduce a true indicator of systemic financial instability in an empirical macro model (Composite Indicator of Systemic Stress)
–
Allow for non-linearities/“phase transitions” in parameters and error variances (both can switch regime)
•
Variables: production, inflation, 3-month MM rate, loan volume and CISS
•
Data: euro area, monthly, 1987-2010

Macroprudential
regulatory instruments 1
•
To contain contagion
risks–
Enhance capital for counterparty exposures, introduce capital surcharge or levy for systemic risk
–
Move derivatives trading on central clearing counterparties–
Introduce procedures for orderly resolution of gone concern (incl. living wills, bail-in debt)
•
To prevent the build-up of widespread imbalances–
Counter-cyclical capital requirements and dynamic provisioning
–
Balanced accounting approach (market prices, liquidity)–
Limit leverage, maturity and currency (emerging economies) mismatches
–
Influence compensation practices to remove incentives for risk taking and herding
–
Loan-to-value ratios and debt-to-income limits (e.g. Korean and Hong Kong experiences)
19
Macroprudential
regulatory instruments 2
•
Ensure resilience against unexpected aggregate shocks
–
High capital and liquidity levels (e.g. based on stress tests)
–
Additional contingent capital (going concern)
–
Foreign currency lending limits (emerging economies)
•
Challenges (related to research and also data gaps)
–
Transmission channels not well understood (impact assessments)
–
Calibration of individual instruments difficult
–
Interaction of different instruments
–
Level playing field across financial sub-sectors and avoidance of regulatory arbitrage (shadow banking)
–
Effects on overall economy (benefits and costs)
