accessFX Reserves No Past reserve accumulation, exchange rate

regime

Central bank swap lines

Yes Economic and political links with the reserve currency issuer with which the country has a bilateral swap line.

IMF financing For most instruments

IMF forward commitment capacity, IMF quota, political factors (e.g. alliance with the US)

RFA financing For many RFAs RFA forward commitment capacity; sometimes limited to a multiple of paid-in capital

Why do we need data on the GFSN?

• Global insurance against (financial) crises becomes more important.

• There is no clear single international lender of last resort.• To answer the question which institution would be in the best

position to provide lending for a particular crisis, we need to understand the interaction between the different layers of the GFSN.

• Our data base provides comprehensive data on both GFSN coverage and key macro variables.

• Correlation analysis suggests a relation between sudden stops and use of the GFSN (also confirmed by a local projections exercise)

• Follow-up work: Taming the global financial cycle. What role for global safety nets?
