  • TARGET2 Imbalances and the ECB As Lender of Last Resort

Academic Editors: Marida Bertocchi and Rita L. D’Ecclesia Received: 28 June 2015 / Accepted: 10 October 2015 / Published: 23 October 2015 Abstract: This paper analyses the issue of the dynamics of the TARGET2 system balances during the sovereign debt crisis, when some countries registered a decisive inflow of the central bank liquidity and others showed an outflow. The dynamics in the TARGET2 are here explained as being due to a fall in the level of confidence in the capacity of the Economic and Monetary Union to survive, rather than to disparities in the level of competitiveness among countries of the Eurozone. This crisis of confidence has to be considered as the consequence of the implicit refusal of the European institutions to create a mechanism working as lender of last resort for the euro area member States; indeed, only when the ECB took this responsibility by launching the Outright Monetary Transactions clear signs of improvement were observed in the sovereign debt crisis.

  • The European Crisis and the Accumulation of TARGET2 Imbalances
    The European crisis and the accumulation of TARGET2 imbalances Beniamino Moro1 Abstract In the context of the European financial crisis, TARGET2 payment system of the European Monetary Union (EMU) countries became crucial, reflecting funding stress in the banking systems of most crisis-hit countries. This paper analyses the role displayed by TARGET2 in the EMU. Until now, the ECB has assumed a crucial role to overcome the European financial crisis. Anyway, to promote a full economic recovery in Europe, it is necessary a strong interconnection between single countries fiscal policies and the ECB’s autonomous monetary policy. In this regard, we conclude that, in the medium term, a successful crisis resolution requires more political integration of EMU countries, which should include a fiscal union and a banking union. However, in the short run, a prompt recovery is essential to get out of the trouble, and this requires that surplus countries (specially Germany) expand aggregate demand and let domestic wages and the ensuing internal inflation rate increase. Keywords European financial crisis, sovereign debt crisis, banking crisis, TARGET2, EMU. 1 Introduction How was it that Europe came to the recent Great Crisis? To answer the question, in this paper some stylized facts are exposed and extensively discussed. First, an important element that much contributed to the crisis was the mispricing of risk by capital markets and an ensuing misallocation of capital in the decade before the outbreak of the crisis. This had the effect of giving wrong incentives to policymakers. In fact, during the boom years, when financial markets were blind to the sovereign risks, no incentives were given to policy makers to reduce their debts, as the latter were priced so favorably.

  • Eurozone Architecture and Target2: Risk-Sharing and the Common-Pool Problem
    Eurozone Architecture and Target2: Risk-sharing and the Common-pool Problem Aaron Tornell UCLA March 2018 (First version: September 2012) Abstract The introduction of the Euro has brought about an implicit risk-sharing mechanism across members of the Eurozone, which works via the Target2 system: when a country is hit by a negative shock, it automatically receives a transfer via the ECB. On the one hand, this risk-sharing mechanism has proved to be welfare-improving, as it smooths the effects of the shock on consumption and output. On the other hand, it has led to lending booms, excessive national debt accumulation and capital flight. In this paper, we present some stylized facts that illustrate these two effects and develop a dynamic political-economy model, in which both effects are part of an internally consistent mechanism. In this model, we analyze the interaction of systemic bailout guarantees with two common-pool problems: an inter-country and a within-country common-pool problem. In equilibrium, risk-premia on interest rates fall–which is good for invest- ment and growth–but also a voracity effect arises, under which a greater ability of national central banks to support distressed banks during crises leads to a dynamic path, which features unsustainable national debt over the long-run, coexisting with private capital flight. Possibly, introducing an explicit risk-sharing mechanism in com- bination with other reforms may keep the good aspects of the Eurozone architecture, while ameliorating these common-pool problems. 1 1 Introduction The creation of the Eurosystem of national central banks and the introduction of the Euro have brought about an implicit risk-sharing mechanism across members of the currency union: when a country is hit by a negative shock—either real or to expectations—the currency union makes transfers to the country to smooth out the effects of the shock on consumption and output.

  • T2-T2S Consolidation
    T2-T2S Consolidation The T2-T2S consolidation project is a European infrastructure project driven by the European Central Bank (ECB) with a planned go-live in November 2022. The aim of the T2-T2S consolidation project is to consolidate and optimize the provision of the TARGET2 (T2) and TARGET2-Securities (T2S) services and to address the increasing demand for having an effective facility for the provision of liquidity to existing and future Eurosystem payment and settlement services. Simulation start: Dec 2021 Production start: Nov 2022 The ECB’s T2-T2S consolidation project aims for: • Technical consolidation of the Eurosystem market infrastructures, with a key objective to be compliant with the latest cyber resilience directives, thus ensuring protection against cyberattacks. • A consolidated and harmonized connectivity solution, creating a single gateway for Eurosystem market infrastructures (ESMIG – Eurosystem Single Market Infrastructure Gateway). • Functional convergence of the current Eurosystem’s settlement services (T2S, TARGET2 and TIPS) into a single platform, which will allow the sharing of common components (reference data, data warehousing, archiving, etc.). However, T2, T2S and TIPS will remain separate services. • Implement a new RTGS module to provide new potential features as well as opportunities to adapt, streamline and improve the existing services. • Expand the existing RTGS operating hours. • Introduction of ISO 20022-compliant messages for communication. A “big bang” approach will be used (i.e. after launch, ISO 15022 will no longer be supported). • Implementation of a central liquidity management (CLM) module. The primary aim of CLM is to offer a centralized mechanism for the steering, monitoring and management of liquidity capacity.

  • Financial Support for Italy Will Be Costless
    MONETARY RESEARCH John Whittaker 10 June 2020 Financial support for Italy will be costless Loans to Italy from other eurozone countries will not increase their risk exposure, irrespective of the method of financing. This is because loans will displace an equal amount of Italy’s Target2 debt, leaving unchanged the total claim of the eurozone creditors. Italy currently has Target2 debt of €513bn to other eurozone countries through its central bank. If Italy receives grants, this will amount to forgiveness of some of its Target2 debt, which will be no loss to the creditors because its Target2 debt is unlikely ever to be repaid at full value. © John Whittaker +44 (0) 7752 643946 [email protected] Department of Economics Lancaster University Management School Lancaster LA1 4YX www.lums.lancs.ac.uk Financial support for Italy Target2 balances Countries such as Italy are likely to receive some Target2 balances are debts between the national financial support from other European Union central banks (NCB) of the eurosystem and the governments to assist with recovery from the European Central Bank (ECB) and they are an coronavirus pandemic.

  • Liquidity–Saving Mechanisms: Quantifying the Benefits in TARGET2
    Liquidity–Saving Mechanisms: Quantifying the Benefits in TARGET2 Martin Diehl – Uwe Schollmeyer 1 Abstract This paper quantifies the benefits of the liquidity-saving mechanisms (LSM) in TARGET2. It builds on two different models which were developed for the quantification of the benefits of LSM in an environment of fee-based liquidity provision, such as Fedwire, and for a collateral- based payment system. Calibrating with data from 2010 we conclude that considerable positive welfare effects of the implemented LSM in TARGET2 do indeed exist. Depending on the theoretical approach these welfare effects can reach the order of 170.000 to 300.000 Euro per day. However, the institutional setup for the liquidity provision for any specific RTGS has to be taken into account in any case. JEL classification: E42, E58, G21 1 Introduction The Eurosystem (the ECB and the national central banks of the Eurozone) operates the Trans-European Automated Real-Time Gross Express Transfer System (TARGET2) to ensure the efficient and sound clearing of large-value payments in 23 countries of the European Union. Indeed a smooth functioning of the payment system is a necessary precondition for the functioning of the transmission of the monetary policy and it constitutes the backbone of a resilient market infrastructure which is essential for financial stability. It is therefore obvious that the design of such a large-value payment system is thoroughly and constantly evaluated with regard to both reliability and efficiency. TARGET2 builds on the user requirements and on the experiences of its predecessor-RTGS of the three providing central banks (Banca d’Italia, Banque de France and Bundesbank).

  • TARGET2 and the European Sovereign Debt Crisis∗ Preliminary Version
    TARGET2 and the European Sovereign Debt Crisis∗ Preliminary Version Ulrich Bindseily Philipp Johann K¨onigz February 15, 2012 Abstract The TARGET2 (T2) positions on the balance sheets of euro area national central banks (NCBs) have increased unprecedentedly since the beginning of the financial crisis. Currently only four euro area NCBs record T2 claims, while the remaining NCBs are T2 debtors. During the last twelve months, these developments were accompanied by a large public debate. The present article adds to the bulk of existing literature on this topic as it explains the origins and development of T2 positions by means of a stylized framework of financial accounts. It is stressed throughout the article that T2 positions constitute merely a reflex of underlying adverse developments in financial markets and of the elasticity of Eurosystem lending. Furthermore, the financial risks behind T2 positions, and the relationship to the monetary base, the euro area's liquidity deficit and intra-euro-area current account deficits are discussed in greater detail. Finally, we discuss recent proposals to limit T2 positions and we provide several superior measures of how to re-balance T2 positions. JEL Key words: TARGET2, central bank balance sheet, liquidity deficit, financial crisis JEL Codes: E58, F33, F55 1 Introduction The TARGET2 (T2) positions on the balance sheets of several euro-area national central banks increased considerably since the beginning of the European sovereign debt crisis in 2009. This unprecedented increase attracts more and more the attention of professional economists and the public media. Yet, despite the large amount of available information on this issue, neither has a ∗The views expressed in this article are those of the authors and do not reflect official views of the European Central Bank.
