Documenting international financial integration: Why the slowdown? Much lower capital flows to and from advanced economies and financial centers Retrenchment in global banking Euro area crisis Increased weight of EMDEs in global GDP These economies have lower shares of external claims and liabilities to GDP, and hence lower the global share as they grow in importance Central Bank of Ireland - RESTRICTED Central Bank of Ireland - RESTRICTED

Monetary Policy and Macroprudential Policy: Current Perspectives Analytical Issues Lessons from Recent Experience (2015-2017) Central Bank of Ireland - RESTRICTED Central Bank of Ireland - RESTRICTED
Analytical Issues I Internalisation of spillovers: monetary union global shocks (including commodity prices) versus local shocks Spillovers/Spillbacks among: Euro Area; US; Japan; China; ROW Spillovers to small open economies Spillovers to dollarised financial systems Spillovers to ‘currency trackers’
Analytical Issues II Exchange rate channel; output channel Normal times: net spillover limited Financial channel (international role of dollar; impact of EM thirst for safe assets on yields in advanced economies; global factor in risk appetite / investor sentiment) Normal times: financial stability risks (macroprudential regulation) Lower Bound: constrains response to spillovers; limits strength of output channel; increases strength of exchange rate channel (?) Interaction of financial channel and balance sheet environment
Lessons from Recent Experience International lessons in design of monetary policy (knowledge spillovers) Global growth forecasts critical: net exports; commodity prices Spillovers: investor sentiment; risk of large exchange rate movements Query: actual importance of exchange rate channel? Spillbacks: possibly relevant for US, given international role of dollar International cooperation: sharing of analytics and conjunctural assessments; clarity about policy feedback rules
