  • SUERF Policy Note, Issue No
    SUERF Policy Note Issue No 189, August 2020 Financial integration in the Nordic-Baltic region vis-à-vis the EU: A Swedish perspective By David Farelius, Stefan Ingves and Magnus Jonsson1 Sveriges Riksbank JEL-codes: F02, F36, F65, G15, G28. Keywords: Financial integration, banking union, Nordic-Baltic region, European Union. We first provide an overview of the financial integration and cooperation in the Nordic-Baltic region. At the EU-level, integrating the capital markets in Europe as a whole is a priority. A notable part of this process is the European banking union. We therefore also discuss two issues regarding Sweden’s participation in the banking union. First, the trade-offs of supranational supervision in the Nordic-Baltic region vis-à-vis the EU. Second, the risk faced by those EU-members that are outside of both the banking union and the currency union of becoming marginalised in negotiations at the EU-level versus the risk – if joining only the banking union – of being marginalised in negotiations within the banking union. 1 We thank Susanna Engdahl and Mattias Hector for valuable comments and suggestions. The opinions expressed in this article are our own and cannot be regarded as an expression of the Riksbank’s view. www.suerf.org/policynotes SUERF Policy Note No 189 1 Financial integration in the Nordic-Baltic region vis-à-vis the EU: A Swedish perspective “Global banking institutions are global in life, but national in deaths” Mervyn King2 Introduction The limits of monetary policy are sometimes discussed based on the well-known monetary trilemma of an open economy under free capital mobility across borders, see Mundell (1963).

Disagreement in prior research regarding exchange rate fluctuations among with the situation in Sweden, is the motivation behind this report. This paper examines the factors responsible for the depreciation of the Swedish Krona in 2018, based on four different hypotheses. The results of this paper found that certain macroeconomic factors have significant influence on exchange rates. The inflation rate in large economies tends to have a substantial impact on exchange rates in smaller economies. Furthermore, the exchange rate in the previous month according to the regression model used, tends to affect the current exchange rate. On top of this, the level of foreign investment, international insecurity, and interest rates also contribute to fluctuating exchange rates. It is complicated to construct models to determine exchange rates due to the high number of variables that are expected to affect exchange rates among with the frequent fluctuations. Despite the difficulty, this paper gives some indication as to why the Swedish Krona depreciated in 2018. Keywords: Exchange rate, Swedish currency, inflation, interest rate, international insecurity and investments. 2 Lunds Universitet Amelia Larsson 951003-8988 Nationalekonomiska Institutionen Sigrid Jakobsson 950517-8823 HT18 Innehållsförteckning 1.

  • Speech by Stefan Ingves at the Annual IMF Meeting, 12-14 Oct 2018
    International Monetary and Financial Committee Thirty-Eighth Meeting October 12–13, 2018 IMFC Statement by Stefan Ingves Governor of Sveriges Riksbank Sweden On behalf of Denmark, Republic of Estonia, Finland, Iceland, Republic of Latvia, Republic of Lithuania, Norway, and Sweden IMFC Statement from Mr. Stefan Ingves on behalf of Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Iceland, Latvia, Lithuania, Norway, and Sweden A decade after the global financial crisis, the world economy is stronger, supported by multilateral efforts. Economic growth continues to be steady, but risks are materializing in some areas. Multilateral institutions, open international trade, and a strengthening of the International Monetary System have been essential in supporting the post-crisis recovery. The Nordic-Baltic countries remain strongly committed to the multilateral approach to assist countries in strengthening potential growth, mitigating risks, and reaping the benefits of globalisation and technological innovation. We reiterate our firm support for the IMF as the key institution in the International Monetary System and the Global Financial Safety Net. We support the Managing Director’s Global Policy Agenda. Multilateral cooperation facilitated recovery from the crisis and remains essential • Ten years after the outbreak of the global financial crisis, the global economy is stronger, supported by multilateral efforts to provide financing, to strengthen the global financial safety net, and to agree on and implement regulatory reforms. However, there are risks to the outlook. A rules-based multilateral approach has served the global economy well for over seventy years and will be crucial to prevent downside risks from becoming even more pronounced. We strongly reject unilateral trade restrictions and moves away from the rules- based multilateral trade order.

    SPEECH DATE: 31/05/2021 SVERIGES RIKSBANK SE-103 37 Stockholm SPEAKER: Governor Stefan Ingves (Brunkebergstorg 11) VENUE: Swedish Economics Association Tel +46 8 787 00 00 Fax +46 8 21 05 31 [email protected] www.riksbank.se New financial environment - how is the 1 Riksbank meeting the new challenges? Thank you for inviting me here to the Swedish Economics Association to speak again this year. I always enjoy coming to speak to you as it gives me the oppor- tunity to discuss a subject in greater depth. But this year I intend to take a some- what broader perspective and talk about the Riksbank's three main business ar- eas: payments, monetary policy and financial stability. In the public debate, there is often a tendency to focus on one area at a time. Re- cently, for instance, payments have been in focus as a lot is happening in the pay- ments market. Monetary policy is almost always in focus, but often without men- tioning that financial stability is a necessary condition for price stability. But it is fairly natural that this is the case, if only because it is difficult to be an expert in all of these areas at the same time. During my professional life, I have had the privilege of being responsible for each of these areas at some point. I have also experienced what it is like when one of them is not functioning, and how this affects the other areas. This has helped me to better understand how the different areas are inter-dependent.

  • Stefan Ingves: Monetary Policy, Openness and Financial Markets
    Stefan Ingves: Monetary policy, openness and financial markets Speech by Mr Stefan Ingves, Governor of the Sveriges Riksbank, at Skandinaviska Enskilda Banken, Stockholm, 24 September 2007. * * * "Say as little as possible and say it cryptically".1 This type of communication strategy is probably quite unthinkable for most central banks today. But this is how US professor of economics Alan Blinder describes central bank communications not so long ago. And I believe that this description is a pretty good one of how things actually worked, say 15 to 20 years ago. I would also guess that those of you here this evening who either monitored or worked in the financial sector at that time would agree with me. But since the beginning of the 1990s the Riksbank as well as most other central banks has taken considerable steps towards greater openness and clarity – both with regard to what we are trying to achieve and how we are going about it. Constantly working towards more efficient communication has been high on the Riksbank’s priorities list ever since the inflation target was introduced. But the pace of this work has varied as conditions for monetary policy and demands on the central bank have changed. So sometimes we have had fairly long periods without any major changes in our methods of communication, sometimes we have made many changes in a fairly short period of time. Particularly over the past two years we have made a number of changes and this has led to some debate. This often happens in times of change, particularly if it requires a learning process – for all those involved – before everything falls into place.
