### Overview
- Authors: Heedon Kang, Francis Vitek, Rina Bhattacharya, Phakawa Jeasakul, Sònia Muñoz, Naixi Wang, Rasool Zandvakil
- Date: July 24, 2017
- Core objective: Analyze cross-border macrofinancial spillovers from a variety of macroprudential policy measures using a range of quantitative methods (event study, panel regression, structural model simulations).

### Key empirical findings (event study and panel regressions)
- Liquidity and sectoral macroprudential policy measures often affect cross-border bank credit.
- Capital measures do not affect cross-border bank credit.
- Empirical evidence is stronger for tightening measures than for loosening measures.
- Effects are distributed across credit leakage and reallocation effects.
- Spillovers are generally regionally concentrated.

### Structural model simulation results
- Output and bank credit spillovers from sectoral macroprudential policy shocks are generally small worldwide.
- Spillovers are regionally concentrated and economically significant for countries connected by strong trade or financial linkages.
- Countercyclical capital buffer adjustments have the potential to generate sizeable regional spillovers.

### Policy implications and interpretation
- Sectoral and liquidity macroprudential measures can transmit cross-border via changes in bank credit, with stronger effects when measures tighten.
- Capital-based macroprudential measures may be less effective in generating cross-border credit spillovers compared with liquidity and sectoral tools.
- Policymakers should consider regional linkages—trade and financial connections—when assessing spillover magnitudes and designing macroprudential measures.
- Countercyclical capital buffer adjustments warrant attention for their potential to generate sizeable regional spillovers and thus for coordination across linked jurisdictions.
