ARRC’s request to DCR focuses on swaps that were executed prior to the compliance date on which swap counterparties were required to begin centrally clearing interest rate swaps (IRS) pursuant to the CFTC’s swap clearing requirement and thus were not required to be 1 Authorities representing U.S. banking regulators and other financial sector members, including the Commission, serve as non-voting ex officio members of the ARRC.

    Page 7 The information in this chapter was last updated in 1993. Since the money market evolves very rapidly, recent developments may have superseded some of the content of this chapter. Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond Richmond, Virginia 1998 Chapter 2 FEDERAL FUNDS Marvin Goodfriend and William Whelpley Federal funds are the heart of the money market in the sense that they are the core of the overnight market for credit in the United States. Moreover, current and expected interest rates on federal funds are the basic rates to which all other money market rates are anchored. Understanding the federal funds market requires, above all, recognizing that its general character has been shaped by Federal Reserve policy. From the beginning, Federal Reserve regulatory rulings have encouraged the market's growth. Equally important, the federal funds rate has been a key monetary policy instrument. This chapter explains federal funds as a credit instrument, the funds rate as an instrument of monetary policy, and the funds market itself as an instrument of regulatory policy. CHARACTERISTICS OF FEDERAL FUNDS Three features taken together distinguish federal funds from other money market instruments. First, they are short-term borrowings of immediately available money—funds which can be transferred between depository institutions within a single business day. In 1991, nearly three-quarters of federal funds were overnight borrowings. The remainder were longer maturity borrowings known as term federal funds. Second, federal funds can be borrowed by only those depository institutions that are required by the Monetary Control Act of 1980 to hold reserves with Federal Reserve Banks.

    Mark Carney: the Evolution of the International Monetary System

    Mark Carney: The evolution of the international monetary system Remarks by Mr Mark Carney, Governor of the Bank of Canada, to the Foreign Policy Association, New York, 19 November 2009. * * * In response to the worst financial crisis since the 1930s, policy-makers around the globe are providing unprecedented stimulus to support economic recovery and are pursuing a radical set of reforms to build a more resilient financial system. However, even this heavy agenda may not ensure strong, sustainable, and balanced growth over the medium term. We must also consider whether to reform the basic framework that underpins global commerce: the international monetary system. My purpose this evening is to help focus the current debate. While there were many causes of the crisis, its intensity and scope reflected unprecedented disequilibria. Large and unsustainable current account imbalances across major economic areas were integral to the buildup of vulnerabilities in many asset markets. In recent years, the international monetary system failed to promote timely and orderly economic adjustment. This failure has ample precedents. Over the past century, different international monetary regimes have struggled to adjust to structural changes, including the integration of emerging economies into the global economy. In all cases, systemic countries failed to adapt domestic policies in a manner consistent with the monetary system of the day. As a result, adjustment was delayed, vulnerabilities grew, and the reckoning, when it came, was disruptive for all. Policy-makers must learn these lessons from history. The G-20 commitment to promote strong, sustainable, and balanced growth in global demand – launched two weeks ago in St.

How does the Bank of Canada affect bank lending rates? There is a common misconception that the interest rate on loans paid by bank customers is solely driven by the Bank of Canada’s Target for the Overnight Rate. The Bank of Canada’s Target for the Overnight Rate is one of several factors that influence bank lending rates. Lenders continually assess market conditions to determine the interest rates they charge on loans, whether for short- term or long-term loans. An individual bank’s decisions on lending rates are impacted by conditions in lending, markets, the cost of funds borrowed by banks in financial markets, and the credit worthiness of individual customers.
  • Using Monetary Policy Rules in Emerging Market Economies*

    Using Monetary Policy Rules in Emerging Market Economies*

    Using Monetary Policy Rules in Emerging Market Economies* By John B. Taylor Stanford University December 2000 (Revised) Abstract: This paper shows that the use of monetary policy rules in emerging market economies has many of the same benefits that have been found in research and in practice in developed economies. For those emerging market economies that do not choose a policy of “permanently” fixing the exchange rate—perhaps through a currency board or dollarization, the only sound monetary policy is one based on the trinity of a flexible exchange rate, an inflation target, and a monetary policy rule. However, market conditions in emerging market economies may require modifications of the typical policy rule that has been recommended for economies with more developed financial markets. *This is a revised version of a paper presented at the 75th Anniversary Conference, “Stabilization and Monetary Policy: The International Experience,” November 14-15, 2000, at the Bank of Mexico. I thank the Bank of Mexico for inviting me to participate in the anniversary celebration and David Longworth for his very helpful comments based on research at the Bank of Canada. This paper draws on research conducted at the Monetary Policy Program of the Stanford Institute of Economic Policy Research and presented at Bank Indonesia and Bank of Japan conferences earlier this year. 1 For about ten years now, the use of monetary policy rules to evaluate and describe central bank policy actions has been growing and spreading rapidly. Monetary policy rules are now frequently used and referred to by financial market analysts, by economic researchers in universities, by the staffs of central banks, and by monetary policy makers themselves.1 Economics textbooks are placing greater emphasis on monetary policy rules as a way to teach students about monetary policy.2 Much of the economic research on policy rules during this period has focused—at least implicitly—on economies with highly developed asset markets, especially markets for debt and foreign exchange.
