Marek Dabrowski The Global Financial Crisis: Causes, Transmission Channels and New Challenges Presentation for the Conference on “Impact of the Global Economic and Financial Crisis on Armenia: Short- and Long-run Perspectives”, Yerevan, July 7-8, 2009

Plan of presentation Sources and nature of the crisis Crisis dynamics Channels of contagion (to emerging markets) Vulnerabilities of CEE/CIS region Length of crisis, after-crisis New challenges for economic research

Basic characteristic of the crisis Truly global financial crisis caused by bursting several bubbles Started at core and is moving towards periphery (opposite to emerging market crisis and similarly to the Great Depression and 1972 US dollar crisis) Preceded by overheating of the world economy

Three major asset bubbles Housing bubble in US and other countries Stock market bubble Commodity bubble

8 Factors responsible for building bubbles Highly accommodative monetary policy of the US Fed and other major central banks (fear of recession and deflation in US in early 2000s) Mercantilist policies of many developing countries backed by IMF recommendations to build precautionary foreign-exchange reserves Second-round phenomena (e.g. recycling of oil surpluses)

Delayed and limited inflationary consequences – why? Positive supply side shocks (effects of market transition in many developing countries and post-communist world) and global trade liberalization – downward price pressure Increasing demand for USD and EUR as global transaction currencies Post-inflationary remonetization in emerging markets (backed by international reserves) Absorption of excess liquidity by asset bubbles (asset prices are not covered by CPI)

Other institutional, regulatory, and microeconomic factors responsible for the crisis Lack of international coordination of macroeconomic (monetary) policies and financial supervision Sectoral segmentation of financial supervision Pro-cyclical prudential regulations (Basel 1 and 2) Risk assessment methodologies which were unable to follow financial innovations Wrong incentives schemes (remuneration of management in financial institutions, fees for rating agencies, etc.)

Crisis timetable Summer 2007: subprime mortgage crisis, beginning of collapse of stock exchange Early 2008: systemic crisis of financial institutions in US; economic slowing down in US, EU and Japan but continuing overheating in most of emerging markets (high commodity prices, weak US dollar, accelerating inflation) Summer 2008: a breaking point –Bursting of commodity and all other bubbles –Global crisis of financial institutions (bankruptcy of Lehman Brothers) –Recession in developed countries Fall 2008: crisis hits emerging-market economies

Weaker global demand (trade channel) Fall of commodity prices (balance-of-payments, fiscal and second-round domestic demand consequences) Global liquidity squeeze (credit channel) Troubles of “mother” financial institutions Increasing risk aversion Increased exchange rate volatility Crowding out financial resources by fiscal stimulus Decreasing demand for labor migrants Possible further turbulences (banking crisis, sovereign default) How crisis has been transmitted to emerging markets?

Vulnerabilities of CEE/CIS countries High level of trade and financial openness Export monoculture (mostly basic commodities) Deep recession in major destination markets (EU and Russia) Poor business climate in many countries Immature and fragile financial sector Currency and time mismatches in corporate and household sector Limited credibility of domestic currencies (high level of actual dollarization/ euroization) Lax fiscal policy in good times/ no fiscal reserves apart from Russia and Kazakhstan

Length of crisis, after-crisis Has crisis reach the bottom? The crisis length depends on rehabilitation of financial institutions Risk of overcoming crisis too quickly (lesson of 2001 dotcom recession) Risk of deflation spiral vs. risk of stagflation and building the new bubbles (e.g. in commodity market) After-crisis growth slow or moderate ( growth rates over the potential)  necessity to increase growth potential Fiscal challenges requiring adjustment in expenditure policy (mostly social)

Challenges for economic research/ analysis Shift from short- to long-term perspective More attention to interlinks between micro and macro (e.g. interlinks between financial sector regulations and monetary policy) Reassessing DIT and other monetary regimes More focus on global perspective and cross- country dependence Lack of theoretical models and analytical frameworks allowing to analyze global economy
