新兴市场货币政策的悄然革命

Aug 18, 2020 Piroska Nagy Mohácsi

伦敦—在冠状病毒病大流行期间，新兴市场的央行经历了一场悄然革命。与以往的危机不同，他们效仿了发达经济体央行所实行的政策，如将逆周期政策与量化宽松政策相结合、购买本币资产、降息和财政赤字货币化。

过去，这些政策会加剧通货膨胀，并对汇率造成下行压力。然而，这次却没有发生类似情况。除了少数在疫情爆发前就已经陷入困境的央行之外，新兴市场的央行成功地利用量化宽松政策，灵活地应对危机。

发达经济体的货币政策促成了这个转变。他们的量化宽松计划产生了积极的溢出效应，也同时扩大了货币掉期和外汇回购业务，以应对危机。在全球系统央行采取的措施中，美联储的反应最重要，但欧洲央行和中国人民银行的掉期和回购行为也在地区层面上产生重大影响。

Swap lines, repos, capital flows to EMs are not QE by EMs. The important issue raised by this article is to know whether EMs & developing countries can practice QE without falling within the monetary trap of excess money creation due to QE (monetary approach to the BoP).

Do the swaps and repos described by Prof. Nagy-Mohacsi potentially provide mechanisms for currency unification? It sounds as if the central bank of one of 130+ mini-currencies around the world could become an additional Federal Reserve District (albeit a very small one in most of the 130 cases).

  Interesting question - thank you! I think these repos and swaps will last during the crisis period, and as with most other repos/swaps the Fed offers, they will expire afterwards. Yet they are critical in crisis management.

This well-written article shows the beneficial spillover effects of the ultra-expansionary monetary policies pioneered in advanced economies to emerging markets, but they still remain at the mercy of advanced economies today particularly when some normalcy may return after the control of the coronavirus-19 pandemic. One characteristic of this situation is the uncertainty, unsustainability and the instability of the global economic and monetary systems. They are in crisis mode and many observers are proposing the need for a New Normal, New Social Contract, etc. without going into much detail.

Verhagen 2012"The Tierra Solution: Resolving the Climate Crisis through Monetary Transformation" proposed to transform the unjust, unsustainable, and therefore, unstable international monetary system by basing it on a monetary system such as a specific tonnage of CO2e per person. A pathway to such decarbonization-based international monetary system would systemically deal with the looming climate catastrophe which is a far larger threat to human and other life on the planet than the present pandemic. The ethical, commercial, intellectual, ecological and strategic dimensions of such decarbonization-based international monetary system are being update in its sequel "PRIME TIME for the Planet: A pathway to a just and sustainable global governance system for the 21st century and beyond."

Monetary authorities which generally try to carry out the dual mandate of price stability and maximum employment can contribute by to advancement of a decarbonization-based international monetary system by pursuing decarbonization as part of a triple mandate. Each monetary authority can start the process of amending the law that legislates their dual mandate. This reformist measure of a legislative change would greatly contribute to the transformation of the global monetary system itself.

  Important point - thank you! Quite a few central banks are going in the direction of supporting a greener economy you describe. I agree this is important. I would argue that at the same time this would require an additional accountability mechanism - as any add-on task under central bank independence.

    I agree about the need for an additional accountability mechanism for implementing the triple monetary mandate. However, this reformist measure pales in respect to the need for transforming the global monetary system by basing it on a decarbonization standard such as the specific tonnage of CO2e per person. I would be most interested in discussing with you this transformational approach that could lead to a just and sustainable global governance system.
