History is replete with instances where, even in the light of obvious and flagrant macroeconomics disequilibria, the implementation of stabilization programs is significantly delayed. Why do policymakers and/or politicians prefer to live with growing inflationary pressures and implement price and other forms of highly inefficient con- trols instead of tackling the roots of macroeconomic imbalances? Is the prolongation of inflation the consequence of mistaken views on the me- chanics of fiscal deficits and money creation, or is it the unavoidable result of the political game? Why, after months of apparent political stalemate, are stabilization programs all of a sudden adopted that closely resemble others proposed earlier? These questions are at the heart of the political economy of stabilization and inflationary finance.1 In recent years the analysis of these issues has attained new interest, as a number of authors have applied the tools of game theory to the study of macroeconomic pol- icymaking.

  • List of Certain Foreign Institutions Classified As Official for Purposes of Reporting on the Treasury International Capital (TIC) Forms
    NOT FOR PUBLICATION DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY JANUARY 2001 Revised Aug. 2002, May 2004, May 2005, May/July 2006, June 2007 List of Certain Foreign Institutions classified as Official for Purposes of Reporting on the Treasury International Capital (TIC) Forms The attached list of foreign institutions, which conform to the definition of foreign official institutions on the Treasury International Capital (TIC) Forms, supersedes all previous lists. The definition of foreign official institutions is: "FOREIGN OFFICIAL INSTITUTIONS (FOI) include the following: 1. Treasuries, including ministries of finance, or corresponding departments of national governments; central banks, including all departments thereof; stabilization funds, including official exchange control offices or other government exchange authorities; and diplomatic and consular establishments and other departments and agencies of national governments. 2. International and regional organizations. 3. Banks, corporations, or other agencies (including development banks and other institutions that are majority-owned by central governments) that are fiscal agents of national governments and perform activities similar to those of a treasury, central bank, stabilization fund, or exchange control authority." Although the attached list includes the major foreign official institutions which have come to the attention of the Federal Reserve Banks and the Department of the Treasury, it does not purport to be exhaustive. Whenever a question arises whether or not an institution should, in accordance with the instructions on the TIC forms, be classified as official, the Federal Reserve Bank with which you file reports should be consulted. It should be noted that the list does not in every case include all alternative names applying to the same institution.

  • Monetary Policy Transmission: the Chilean Case
    Monetary policy transmission: the Chilean case Nicolás Eyzaguirre Introduction In order to understand the workings of monetary policy in Chile it is important to bear in mind the special characteristics of its financial system. Chile has a quite free and developed financial system compared with most other developing countries. Credit markets operate without any ceilings, either on quantities or on interest rates, which are deter- mined by the interplay of supply and demand. Reserve requirements are relatively low (9¤% on liquid assets and 3.6¤% on time deposits); they are not used for monetary policy purposes and have remained almost unchanged for the last two decades. Financial markets are relatively deep and long-term-oriented. Financial savings amount to 75¤% of GDP, and stock market capitalisation is close to 100¤% of GDP. There is also an important sector of institutional investors, consisting mainly of insurance companies and private pension funds (AFPs), which have a long-term horizon. Pension funds alone manage funds in the order of 35¤% of GDP, representing approximately one- quarter of financial liabilities and stock market capitalisation. These characteristics allow the central bank to conduct open market opera- tions at both short and long term, targeting market interest rates and liquidity. There are two other basic factors that have conditioned the develop- ment of monetary policy as well as exchange rate policy during the 1990s. A first factor has been the ending of restrictions on foreign currency hold- ings and the alleviation of the foreign exchange scarcity, so notorious during the previous decade. A second factor is the high degree of indexa- tion that was so favoured and is still prevalent in the Chilean economy despite the considerable progress made in reducing inflation.

  • Central Bank of Chile: Monetary Policy in an Inflation Targeting Framework Central Bank of Chile: Monetary Policy in an Inflation Targeting Framework*
    Central Bank of Chile: Monetary Policy in an Inflation Targeting Framework Central Bank of Chile: Monetary Policy in an Inflation Targeting Framework* * This is a translation of a document written in Spanish. In case of discrepancy or difference of interpretation, the original prevails. Preface The Central Bank of Chile started using a partial inflation targeting framework for its monetary policy in 1990, moving to full adoption, in combination with a flexible foreign exchange regime, in September 1999. Inflation targeting has several advantages over the alternatives and requires high standards of transparency and communication regarding both policies and actions. To this end, the Central Bank regularly publishes its Monetary Policy Report (Informe de Política Monetaria, IPOM), Financial Stability Report (Informe de Estabilidad Financiera, IEF), press releases and minutes from monetary policy meetings. This document forms part of this general initiative. This document presents the institutional framework within which the Central Bank conducts monetary policy, together with the Board of the Central Bank’s views about this policy framework, including objectives, monetary policy transmission, its management and operation; and the role of transparency and communication. After over seven years of experience with full-fledged inflation targeting, the Board considers it timely to offer these reflections, to foster understanding of the rationales guiding monetary policy decisions among the general public and economic agents. The contents of this document reflect the Central Bank’s views on how monetary policy works. It presents the cumulative experience since inflation targeting came into full effect at the end of the past decade; the relevant institutional developments in other spheres of economic policy; and the lessons learned from other countries.

  • The Chilean Peso Exchange-Rate Carry Trade and Turbulence
    The Chilean peso exchange-rate carry trade and turbulence Paulo Cox and José Gabriel Carreño Abstract In this study we provide evidence regarding the relationship between the Chilean peso carry trade and currency crashes of the peso against other currencies. Using a rich dataset containing information from the local Chilean forward market, we show that speculation aimed at taking advantage of the recently large interest rate differentials between the peso and developed- country currencies has led to several episodes of abnormal turbulence, as measured by the exchange-rate distribution’s skewness coeffcient. In line with the interpretative framework linking turbulence to changes in the forward positions of speculators, we fnd that turbulence is higher in periods during which measures of global uncertainty have been particularly high. Keywords Currency carry trade, Chile, exchange rates, currency instability, foreign-exchange markets, speculation JEL classification E31, F41, G15, E24 Authors Paulo Cox is a senior economist in the Financial Policy Division of the Central Bank of Chile.

Introduction Between 15 and 23 September 2011, the Chilean peso depreciated against the United States dollar by about 8.2% (see fgure 1). The magnitude of this depreciation was several times greater than the average daily volatility of the exchange rate for these currencies between 2002 and 2012.1 No events that would affect any fundamental factor that infuences the price relationship between these currencies seems to have occurred that would trigger this large and abrupt adjustment.
