- Published: October 1, 2014
- Series: Global Financial Stability Report
Overview
- Publication date: October 2014.
- Context: "six years after the start of the crisis, the global economic recovery continues to rely heavily on accommodative monetary policies in advanced economies."
- Central tension: Monetary accommodation supports economic risk taking (increased real spending by households; greater willingness to invest and hire by businesses) but "prolonged monetary ease may also encourage excessive financial risk taking."
Chapter 1 — Improving the Balance Between Financial and Economic Risk Taking
- Key finding: "Although economic benefits of monetary ease are becoming more evident in some economies, market and liquidity risks have increased to levels that could compromise financial stability if left unaddressed."
- Recommended approach:
- "Put in place policies that enhance the transmission of monetary policy to the real economy—thus promoting economic risk taking."
- "Address financial excesses through well-designed macroprudential measures."
- Survey and data elements listed (examples of content types included in chapter):
- Tables such as 1.1 Corporate and Banking Sector Fundamentals; 1.4 Key Macroprudential Policy Recommendations and Recent Country Examples; 1.7 Major Recent Regulatory Measures and Potential Impacts on Select Bank Business Lines.
- Figures and charts including 1.1 Global Financial Stability Map; 1.3 United States: How Far Along the Exit Process?; 1.20 Market Liquidity: Rising Flow but Deteriorating Depth; 1.27 Stretched Valuations across Asset Classes.
Chapter 2 — Shadow Banking Around the Globe: How Large, and How Risky?
- Scope: "Examines the growth of shadow banking around the globe, assessing risks and discussing regulatory responses."
- Common drivers identified: "search for yield, regulatory circumvention, and demand by institutional investors."
- Comparative assessment: "The contribution of shadow banks to systemic risks in the financial system is much larger in the United States than in Europe."
- Policy call: "A more encompassing (macroprudential) approach to regulation and for enhanced data provision."
- Boxes and data elements included (examples): 2.1 The Run on the Shadow Banking System and Bank Losses during the Financial Crisis; 2.3 China: Bank Characteristics and Wealth Management Product Issuance; 2.14 Policy Framework to Mitigate Shadow Banking Risks.
- Measurement and empirical material noted: panel regressions (1990−2013; 2002-2012), broad and narrow shadow banking measures, subsector analysis, drivers and sensitivity analyses.
Chapter 3 — Risk Taking By Banks: The Role of Governance and Executive Pay
- Core issues: "Conflicts of interest between bank managers, shareholders, and debt holders can lead to excessive bank risk taking from society’s point of view."
- Key empirical findings:
- "Banks with boards of directors independent from management take less risk."
- "There is no clear relation between bank risk and the level of executive compensation, but a better alignment of bankers’ pay with long-term outcomes is associated with less risk."
- Analytical and regulatory components included (examples): 3.1 Types of Executive Compensation; 3.2 Trends in the Regulation of Bankers’ Pay; 3.6 Summary Results of the Empirical Analysis.
Policy Recommendations and Prescriptions
- Enhance monetary policy transmission to support economic risk taking (so monetary accommodation better reaches households and businesses).
- Deploy well-designed macroprudential measures to address financial excesses and rising market and liquidity risks.
- Adopt a more encompassing macroprudential regulatory approach to shadow banking and improve data provision to monitor shadow banking growth and risks.
- Improve bank governance: increase board independence and align executive compensation with long-term outcomes to reduce excessive bank risk taking.
