  • Reforming the International Monetary System Centre for Economic Policy Research (CEPR)
    This report presents a set of concrete proposals of increasing ambition for the reform of the international monetary system. The proposals aim at improving the international provision of liquidity in order to limit the effects of individual and systemic crises and decrease their frequency. The recommendations outlined in this Reforming the report include: • Develop alternatives to US Treasuries as the dominant reserve asset, including the issuance of mutually guaranteed European bonds and (in the more distant future) the development of a ISBN 978-1-907142-41-3 International yuan bond market. • Make permanent the temporary swap agreements that were put in place between central banks during the crisis. Establish a star- shaped structure of swap lines centred on the IMF. Monetary System • Strengthen and expand existing IMF liquidity facilities. On the funding side, expand the IMF’s existing financing mechanisms and allow the IMF to borrow directly on the markets. • Establish a foreign exchange reserve pooling mechanism with the IMF, providing participating countries with access to additional liquidity and, incidentally, allowing reserves to be recycled into productive investments. To limit moral hazard, the report proposes to set up specific surveillance indicators to monitor “international funding risks” associated with increased insurance provision. The report discusses the role of the special drawing rights (SDR) and the prospects for turning this unit of account into a true international currency, arguing that it would not solve the fundamental problems of the international monetary system. The report also reviews the conditions under which emerging market economies may use temporary capital controls to counteract excessive and volatile capital flows.

  • Rescuing Our Jobs and Savings: What G7/8 Leaders Can Do to Solve the Global Credit Crisis
    Rescuing our jobs and The unfolding financial market meltdown could trigger a massive and prolonged recession that would destroy hundreds of millions of jobs worldwide and wipe out the savings our countless households; as usual, the most savings: What G7/8 vulnerable would be hit hardest. If economic policymakers continue with their business-as- usual behaviour, they risk becoming the authors of the next leaders can do to solve Great Depression. The time for forceful coordinated action has arrived. Leaders should agree to a plan back it forcefully. Any global plan must have options as the crisis in Iceland is not the same crisis as in the US or Germany, but coordination is essential to restore confidence. Coordination the global credit crisis and dialog is also important to avoid the downward spiral of international cooperation that followed the last great crisis in the 1930s. Edited by Barry Eichengreen This E-book collects essays from some of the world’s leading and Richard Baldwin economists on what governments can do to rescue our jobs and savings. While they differ on many points, a clear consensus emerges on need to act, the need to act cooperatively and on the basic options for action.

  • The Monetary Policy Regime in Indonesia
    WP/17/2013 WORKING PAPER THE MONETARY POLICY REGIME IN INDONESIA Solikin M. Juhro Miranda S. Goeltom 2013 The conclusions, opinions and views of the authors in this paper are those of the authors alone and do not constitute the official conclusions, opinions, and views of Bank Indonesia. 1 The Monetary Policy Regime in Indonesiaa b Solikin M. Juhro and Miranda S. Goeltom Abstract The challenges encountered after the financial crises of 1997 98 and 2008 09 have revealed some valuable lessons with regard to monetary policy. In a small open economy, such as that of Indonesia, the multiple challenges facing monetary policy as a result of capital flow dynamics, amid inflationary pressures, suggest that the monetary authorities should employ multiple instruments. This paper shows that coordinated implementation of a policy instrument mix should ultimately be part of an important strategy for optimally managing the monetary policy trilemma in the current climate, which is fraught with widespread uncertainty. It also shows that a post-GFC monetary policy framework in Indonesia is, generally, nhanced hanced to an inflation target as the overriding objective of monetary policy. The main characteristics of ITF will remain, namely, that the inflation target is announced publicly and that the monetary policy is forward-looking, transparent, and clearly accountable. However, the ITF is implemented in a more feasible manner, which means that Bank Indonesia must not only look at the inflation target merely in terms of policy formulation but also consider a number of other factors, including financial sector stability and the dynamics of capital flows and the exchange rate.

This paper discusses the great importance of the monetary question, and briefly examines some of the dominant erroneous concepts of money and their effects upon societies. It also points and links to the great progress currently being made by researchers in this field, so readers can examine them more fully. It presents very brief summaries of what some of the important new papers do. It also aims at helping instructors in outlining a reading curriculum to assist in a long overdue understanding of money power. Finally, the paper presents a money and banking system proposal which has evolved since the Great Depression of the 1930s, and is now ready for implementation and has even been introduced as potential legislation into the United States Congress. 1.

Michael Kumhof(1), Jason Allen (2) Will Bateman (3), Rosa Lastra (4), Simon Gleeson (5), Saule Omarova (6) Abstract Based on legal arguments, we advocate a conceptual and normative shift in our understanding of the economic character of central bank money (CBM). The widespread treatment of CBM as a central bank liability goes back to the gold standard, and uses analogies with commercial bank balance sheets. However, CBM is sui generis and legally not comparable to commercial bank money. Furthermore, in modern economies, CBM holders cannot demand repayment of CBM in anything other than CBM. CBM is not an asset of central banks either, and it is not central bank shareholder equity because it does not confer the same ownership rights as regular shareholder equity.
