Lecture #3 European Monetary Integrason: the Second Stage (1992 Lecture #3 European monetary integraon: the second stage (1992‐2002) 欧州通貨統合の第二段階 基礎比較経済論 14 May 2012 From the previous class • The Breon‐Woods system: the internaonal monetary system that existed between 1944 and 1971 • Based on the USD, which was the only currency freely converble into gold • Collapsed in 1971 because the US gave higher priority to its own naonal interests (e.g. fiscal deficits and prinng of too many USD in the 1960s) アメリカ国益優先、財政拡大、ドル紙幣の増刷 • Since 1969, the EU countries started preparaons for a monetary union • I. The “snake” (1972‐1978) From the previous class • II. The European monetary system (EMS) 1979‐1998 欧州通貨制度 • (1) created the ECU, a basket currency • (2) fixed EU member currencies to each other via the ECU (official exchange rates) 公式為替レート • (3) tried to reduce the fluctuaons of market exchange rates within a band of ±2.25% 市場為替レート • (4) tried joint intervenons by central banks when market rates moved toward the “ceiling” or the “floor” of the band • The EMS was supposed to be “symmetric” but actually became dominated by the German mark (DM) The German mark’s (DM) dominance 欧州通貨制度=ドイツマルク圏 The main problem of the EMS ドイツの国益優先 • To keep their currencies aligned with the German mark, the other EMS member countries had to follow German monetary policy • If the German central bank (the Bundesbank) increased interest rates, all other EMS members had to do the same thing • But what happens if some did not raise interest rates due to fears of economic recession? these countries might have to leave the EMS • And what happens if the Bundesbank gave priority to German naonal interests over the wider interests of the EMS member countries? The 1992‐1993 EMS crisis 欧州通貨制度の危機 • Two main reasons (1) Increase of interest rates by the Bundesbank in 1991‐92 due to fears of higher inflaon aer the German reunificaon ドイツ統一 ドイツの財政赤字増 インフレ 増の懸念 ドイツ中央銀行による金利引き上げ (2) Unwillingness of some EMS members to follow German monetary policy because of fears of a deeper economic recession Trigger: speculave aacks on the Brish pound and other currencies in 1992‐1993 Speculave aacks I • Aacks on an overvalued pegged currency (when the markets feel a downward correcon is appropriate) • Speculators borrow the currency, sell it now, and intend to buy it back later when the currency weakens • Speculators may borrow the currency through bank loans Speculave aacks II • Speculators must be confident that the government of the country whose currency is under aack: – Lacks the will to defend its currency • Is not willing to increase interest rates because of the negave impact on the domesc economy. – Or, lacks the resources to defend its currency • Does not have sufficient hard currency (foreign exchange reserves) to use in foreign exchange markets to support its currency. – For example, the country would need hard currency (e.g., US dollars) if currency is being sold. – The US dollars would be used to buy up its currency and hold its price on foreign exchange markets. The Brish pound crisis (16 Sept. 1992) “Black Wednesday” • The UK joined the EMS in 1990 at the official rate of £1 = 2.95 DM, where the BP was viewed as largely overvalued • Fluctuaons within a band of ±2.25% • The “floor” of the BP/DM band: £1 = 2.778 DM • FX market speculators the assumpon that the UK government would be unwilling to raise interest rates to defend the peg • Consequences of the speculave aack on 16 Sept. 1992 the UK le the EMS and the BP depreciated to £1 = 2.41 DM The depreciaon of the Brish pound vis‐à‐vis the DM Consequences for European monetary integraon • The Brish pound and the Italian lira had to leave the EMS in 1992 • Other countries stayed within the EMS but had to devalue their currencies • In 1993, a decision to widen the band to ±15% • Awareness of the need for a common central bank, which should not favor any country’s interests • “The impossible trinity”: fixed exchange rates, free capital flows, and independent naonal monetary policy The Maastricht Treaty (1991) マーストリヒト条約 • Decided on the creaon of a single currency and a common central bank • Inially rejected by Denmark in a referendum (1992) • The name of the single currency (“euro”) decided in December 1995 • The European Central Bank (ECB) established in 1998 欧州中央銀行 • The euro launched in January 1999 for accounng purposes • From January 2002 onwards, euro banknotes and coins in circulaon The ECB building in Frankfurt Jean‐Claude Trichet, the former ECB president The euro banknotes The Maastricht criteria: part I マーストリヒト条件 • Inflaon should not exceed by more than 1.5 per cent the average of the three lowest rates among EU countries • Long‐term interest rates should not to exceed by more than 2 per cent the average interest rate in the three lowest inflaon countries • ERM membership: at least two years in ERM2 without devaluaons • Budget deficit: less than ‐ 3 per cent of GDP • Public debt: less than 60 per cent of GDP The Maastricht criteria: part II Fiscal deficits and public debt (1998) Fiscal deficits and public debt (2010) Increase of long‐term interest rates in some countries in 2010 Eurozone enlargements ユーロ圏の拡大 Started with 11 members in 1999 • “Opt‐outs” by UK, Denmark and Sweden Now, 17 members • Greece joined in 2001 • In 2007‐2009, another 4 members (Slovenia, Slovakia, Malta and Cyprus) joined • Estonia joined in January 2011 • All other Eastern European countries are expected to join (7 countries) The eurozone today Special country cases I: Countries who are not members of the EU but are using the euro with permission by the ECB • Monaco, San Marino, the Vacan • These countries can also mint their own euro coins II.

  • European Stability Mechanism
    ~FACTSHEET~ European Stability Mechanism The Treaty establishing the European Stability Mechanism (ESM) has been ratified by all 17 euro area member states. It entered into force on 27 September 2012, nine months earlier than initially foreseen 1. The treaty was signed by euro area member states on 2 February 2012. The ESM board of governors held its inaugural meeting on 8 October 2012. The ESM is an intergovernmental institution based in Luxembourg, set up to provide financial assistance to eurozone member states experiencing, or being threatened by, severe financing problems, if this is indispensable for safeguarding financial stability in the euro area as a whole. The initial maximum lending capacity of the ESM is set at €500 billion. This is achieved with subscribed capital of €700 billion (€ 80 billion paid-in capital, the rest callable). A first version of the treaty was signed on 11 July 2011, but it was subsequently modified to incorporate decisions taken by the heads of state and government of the euro area on 21 July and 9 December 2011 to improve the effectiveness of the mechanism. As a permanent mechanism, the ESM will take over the tasks currently fulfilled by the European Financial Stability Facility (EFSF) and the European Financial Stabilisation Mechanism (EFSM). With the accelerated entry into force, the ESM will now operate alongside the EFSF for nine months. In March 2012, the Eurogroup agreed to raise the overall ceiling for ESM/EFSF lending to €700 billion 2. Already during the transitional period, until mid-2013, the ESM will be the main instrument for the financing of new programmes.

  • Anatomy of a Crisis
    Page 7 Chapter 2 Munich: Anatomy of A Crisis eptember 28, 1938, “Black Wednesday,” dawned on a frightened Europe. Since the spring Adolf Hitler had spoken often about the Sudetenland, the western part of Czechoslovakia. Many of the 3 Smillion German-speaking people who lived there had complained that they were being badly mistreated by the Czechs and Slovaks. Cooperating closely with Sudeten Nazis, Hitler at first simply demanded that the Czechs give the German-speakers within their borders self-government. Then, he upped the ante. If the Czechs did not hand the Sudetenland to him by October 1, 1938, he would order his well-armed and trained soldiers to attack Czechoslovakia, destroy its army, and seize the Sudetenland. The Strategic Location of the Sudetenland Germany’s demand quickly reverberated throughout the European continent. Many countries, tied down by various commitments and alliances, pondered whether—and how—to respond to Hitler’s latest threat. France had signed a treaty to defend the Czechs and Britain had a treaty with France; the USSR had promised to defend Czechoslovakia against a German attack. Britain, in particular, found itself in an awkward position. To back the French and their Czech allies would almost guarantee the outbreak of an unpredictable and potentially ruinous continental war; yet to refrain from confronting Hitler over the Sudetenland would mean victory for the Germans. In an effort to avert the frightening possibilities, a group of European leaders converged at Munich Background to the Crisis The clash between Germany and Czechoslovakia over the Sudetenland had its origins in the Versailles Treaty of 1919.
