This book was released on 1997-11-01 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Properly designed wholesale payments system can make a significant contribution to enhancing market discipline in the financial sector, reducing the risk of systemic disturbance and permitting a less extensive safety net for financial institutions. The objective of these reforms has been to achieve a reduction of the credit risk associated with the growth in intraday credit exposures that arises in net settlement systems and in real-time gross systems when the central bank provides daylight overdrafts. Intraday payments-related credit in net settlement systems has been reduced by restructuring payment systems into real-time gross settlement systems with collateralized overdrafts, while in the existing real-time gross settlement systems, the risk-abatement program currently in effect has taken the form of caps and charges on uncollateralized daylight credit.

This book was released on 1996 with total page 70 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The explosive growth in the volume of transactions in highly liquid national and international money, derivative, and capital markets during the last ten years -- the so-called commoditization of finance -- has produced a corresponding increase in flows of gross domestic and international payments. These flows are facilitated by an interlocking network of national and international wholesale payment systems that are at the core of the world's major financial systems. It is widely recognized that a disturbance in one of these payment systems -- an operational mishap, the failure of a major counterparty, a liquidity problem in one of the money markets -- could have serious consequences for global trade and finance. Sections II and II of this paper review the nature and the objectives of ongoing and planned payment system reforms in the United States, and major European Union countries. Section IV discusses the impact of these reforms on the financial system, with particular emphasis on the implication for the availability and cost of intraday liquidity in financial markets. Section V examines the impact of the ongoing shift toward real-time, gross settlement payment systems -- the preferrred type of system for wholesale payments -- on liquidity, the relationship among yields of securities of varying liquidity, bid-ask spreads, and payments conventions in securities markets. The concluding section identifies some unresolved issues.

This book was released on 2006 with total page 54 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper reviews the ongoing efforts to reduce the risks inherent in the world`s principal wholesale payment systems. The paper assesses the major policy proposals to contain the growth in intraday credit exposures that arises in net settlement wholesale payment systems and in the real-time gross systems in which the central bank provides daylight overdrafts. It also discusses the benefits of these risk-management policies, and we assess the adverse impact of applying interest charges for intraday central-bank credit or of collateralizing such credit on liquidity in financial markets.

This book was released on 1998-01-01 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper analyzes some leading indicators of currency crises, and proposes a specific early warning system. This system involves monitoring the evolution of several indicators that tend to exhibit an unusual behavior in the periods preceding a crisis. When an indicator exceeds a certain threshold value, this is interpreted as a warning “signal” that a currency crisis may take place. The variables that have the best track record within this approach include exports, deviations of the real exchange rate from trend, and the ratio of broad money to gross international reserves, output, and equity prices.

Download or read book The Dark Side of Bank Wholesale Funding written by Mr.Lev Ratnovski and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2010-07-01 with total page 30 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Banks increasingly use short-term wholesale funds to supplement traditional retail deposits. Existing literature mainly points to the "bright side" of wholesale funding: sophisticated financiers can monitor banks, disciplining bad but refinancing good ones. This paper models a "dark side" of wholesale funding. In an environment with a costless but noisy public signal on bank project quality, short-term wholesale financiers have lower incentives to conduct costly monitoring, and instead may withdraw based on negative public signals, triggering inefficient liquidations. Comparative statics suggest that such distortions of incentives are smaller when public signals are less relevant and project liquidation costs are higher, e.g., when banks hold mostly relationship-based small business loans.

Book excerpt: Research activity in the IMF emphasizes the links between the organization's policy and operational concerns. The main objectives of research is IMF staff understanding of policy and operational issues relevant to the institution, and to improve the analytical quality of the work prepared for management and the Executive Board and the advice provided to member countries. The scope of research in the IMF is defined by the purposes and functions of the institution. In order to foster innovation and ensure quality control, the IMF makes much of its research available outside the institution and encourages staff to interact with academia and other research organizations through conferences, seminars, and occasional joint research projects. The visiting scholar’s program has also enhanced the quality of research done in the IMF. This program brings in leading members of the economics profession from around the world to assist in the preparation of papers for the Executive Board and to conduct research on IMF-related issues.
Download or read book Short Term Wholesale Funding and Systemic Risk written by International Monetary Fund and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2012-02-01 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this paper we identify some of the main factors behind systemic risk in a set of international large-scale complex banks using the novel CoVaR approach. We find that short-term wholesale funding is a key determinant in triggering systemic risk episodes. In contrast, we find no evidence that a larger size increases systemic risk within the class of large global banks. We also show that the sensitivity of system-wide risk to an individual bank is asymmetric across episodes of positive and negative asset returns. Since short-term wholesale funding emerges as the most relevant systemic factor, our results support the Basel Committee's proposal to introduce a net stable funding ratio, penalizing excessive exposure to liquidity risk.
