REQUIRED RESERVES AS A CREDIT

POLICY TOOL

(joint with Enes Sunel and Temel Taskın)

Yasin MimirCentral Bank of the Republic of Turkey

Conference on Reserve Requirements and Other MacroprudentialPolicies: Experiences in Emerging Economies

October 8, 2012

INTRODUCTION

Macroprudential Policies and Financial Stability

I Required reserves ratios (RRR) have been used as a macroprudentialpolicy tool in a number of emerging economies (e.g. Brazil, China,Colombia, Peru, and Turkey).

I In particular, they use reserve requirements to curb excessive creditgrowth in boom episodes and to ease financial constraints in badtimes.

I The main aim is to reduce the procyclicality of financial sector.

Motivating Questions

I How does a time-varying macroprudential RRR policy affectI Real and financial cycles of an economy in response to adverse

macroeconomic and financial shocks.I Welfare implications of moderate and aggressive RRR policies.

I Effectiveness of required reserves policy in different economicstructures (ex. highly leveraged financial system).

Building Blocks

I Quantitative monetary DSGE model with banksI Households face cash-in-advance (CIA) constraints.I Agency problem between households and banks via G&K (2011).I Banks are subject to time-varying RRR that countercyclically

responds to expected credit growth.I Simulate the model economy in the face of productivity and financial

shocks under two different RRR policy regimes: time-varying andfixed.

I Investigate the effectiveness of time-varying RRR policies throughimpulse response analysis.

I Compute welfare gains of alternative time-varying RRR policiescompared to fixed RRR policy.

Main Results

I Time-varying RRR rule countervails the negative effects of F.A.mechanism triggered by adverse macroeconomic and financialshocks.

I Counter-cyclical RRR rule reduces volatilities of key real andfinancial variables in response to macro shocks.

I Time-varying RRR policy reduces the intertemporal distortionscreated by the credit spread at the expense of higher inflationvolatility.

I Welfare gain of adopting time-varying RRR policies rather than fixedRRR one ranges from 0.06% to 0.22% in CE welfare terms.

I The effect of time-varying required reserves policy is bigger in highrisk economy where loan-deposit spread is higher and the leverage ofthe banking sector is lower.

I Required reserves 7−→ Glocker and Towbin (2011), Montoro (2011).

I ContributionI Explore the role of RRR policy in response to financial shocks.I Focus on the composition of the assets side of the balance sheet

I Aggressive time-varying RRR policy (φ = 10) => λc = 0.22%.

Conclusion

I RRR policies that are meant to stabilize credit growth work as amacro-prudential tool under the existence of TFP and financialshocks.

I However, reduced volatilities of real and financial variables come atthe expense of higher inflation volatility.

I For further work, small open economy features and optimal monetarypolicy considerations shall be introduced in order to reconcile theanalysis more with the experience of emerging economies.

Competitive EquilibriumI Nominal monetary base and prices grow constantly in this model,

which renders the equations listed above non-stationary. Therefore,following Cooley and Hansen (1989), we make the model stationary

by applying the following normalizations: Pt = Pt/M0t+1 and

mt = Mt+1/(PtM0t+1) and solve the model locally around adeterministic steady state.

I A competitive equilibrium of this model economy is defined bysequences of allocations {ct , kt+1, it , lt , ht , st , nt , net , nnt , bt+1,Λt,t+1, νt , ηt , κt , ρt,t+1, χt,t+1, mt+1, πt}

t=0 and thegovernment policy {rrt}

t=0 such that

(i) allocations solve household’s, financial intermediary’s, firm’s, andcapital producer’s problems at the equilibrium prices.

(ii) markets for factor inputs clear.

(iii) aggregate resource constraint is satisfied.Back
