In the Face of Spillovers: Prudential Policies in Emerging Economies

Abstract: We examine whether emerging market prudential policies offset the macro-financial spillover effects of US monetary policy. We find that emerging markets with tighter overall prudential policy face significantly smaller, and less negative, spillovers to total credit from US monetary policy tightening shocks. Loan-to-value ratio limits and reserve requirements appear to be particularly effective prudential tools at mitigating the spillover effects of US monetary policy. Our findings indicate that prudential poli… Show more

“…The authors also find that prudential policies, when not interacted with volatility, are insignificant. Relatedly, Coman and Lloyd (2019) find that emerging market economies' macroprudential policy can reduce the impact of US monetary policy (typically considered a 'push'-type factor) on capital flows to these economies. These findings align with our results in Figure 8, which shows the interaction term is significant at the centre of the capital flows distribution (right panel), while policy without the interaction term is not (left panel).…”

“…Prudential policy can be used as an additional tool to balance these trade‐offs, by potentially shielding countries from the global financial cycle and reducing their sensitivity to global shocks, as discussed for instance in Bruno and Shin (2015), Takáts and Temesvary (2019) and Coman and Lloyd (2019). Extending Bruno and Shin (2015) and Rey (2015), Cao and Dinger (2018) find empirically that monetary policy in small‐open economies may be limited by global financial flows, especially during monetary tightening; thus, implying a need for prudential measures to “lend a hand” to monetary policy in containing credit booms.…”

“…The literature on the interaction between monetary and prudential policies is relatively scarce, and mostly focuses on the interaction of domestic policies, without a cross‐border angle; exceptions are Avdjiev et al (2017) and Coman and Lloyd (2019).…”

“…To account for lags in the setting of prudential policies and their persistent effects on the financial sector, we cumulate prudential policy actions over a 2‐year period. As in Coman and Lloyd (2019), who use the Cerutti et al. (2017) data in a similar manner this choice balances a trade‐off.…”

“…Some papers focus on specific prudential policy instruments or countries (e.g., Bruno & Shin, 2014; De Jonghe et al., 2020; de Marco & Wieladek, 2016; Forbes et al., 2017), while more systematic global analyses have a different scope to ours. For instance, Bremus and Fratszcher (2015) focus on syndicated loans, Takats and Temesvary (2019) only assess prudential policy interactions in response to the 2013 taper tantrum, and Coman and Lloyd (2019) assess how macro‐financial outcomes in emerging markets can be insulated against US monetary spillovers by domestic prudential policies.…”
