1 Beyond the Bipolar View: The Rise and Fall of Argentina s Currency Crisis Augusto de la Torre Eduardo Levy Yeyati Sergio Schmukler October 2002
2 Outline: From particular to general Organizing motif: the link between money (as a store of value) and financial intermediation The rise and fall of Argentina s currency board i. Good times: financial deepening, increased financial dollarization, and RER exposure ii. Bad times: a currency-growth-debt (CGD) trap iii. The meltdown: anatomy of a currency run in a financially dollarized country A reappraisal of hard pegs (no discipline, quite reversible, prudential concerns, exit strategies) Refocus the exchange rate debate to the currency problem 2
3 Good times: Financial deepening Money as a store of value Credit/GDP Deposits/GDP Financial Deepening 40% 35% 30% 25% 20% Credit/GDP Deposits/GDP 15% 10% 5% 0% Credit includes loans to private sector, loans to public sector, loans to residents abroad, and private and public securities held by the financial system. Deposits include demand deposits, savings deposits, time deposits and other deposits, by private sector, public sector, and residents abroad. Figures correspond to end-of-year values. Sources: Central Bank of Argentina and The World Bank 3
4 Banking sector consolidation: Accelerated after the Tequila effect Consolidation and Internationalization of the Banking System Number of total banks Foreign banks Number of banks Number of branches 391 1,535 1,863 Share of total assets (%) Number of public banks Figures correspond to end-of-year values.

5 Banking sector strengthening: Well capitalized, well provisioned, highly liquid Selected Banking System Indicators Net Worth/Assets Capital / Risk Weighted Assets Non-Performing Loans/Total Loans (a) Provisions/Total Loans Provisions/Non-Performing Loans (a) Systemic Core Liquidity (b) Return on Equity before Provisions Return on Equity after Provisions Return on Assets after Provisions Leverage Ratio (not in precent) (a) Non-performing loans are defined as the sum of loans with problems, loans with high risk, and non-recoverable loans. (b) Defined as the ratio of international reserves of the central bank in foreign currency and other liquidity requirements held abroad by banks to total deposits. Figures are in percent and correspond to end-of-year values. Source: Central Bank of Argentina 5
6 The peso as a store of value? Increased financial dollarization Credit in US Dollars over Total Credit 100% 80% 60% 40% 20% Loan Dollarization and Currency Premium Credit to public sector (Left scale) Credit to private sector (Left scale) Currency premium (Right scale) Basis Points 1,200 1, % Apr- 91 Feb- 92 Dec- 92 Oct- 93 Aug- 94 Jun- 95 Apr- 96 The currency premium is measured by the differential between peso and dollar interbank deposit rates, using daily one-month interest rate premium. Credit to public and private sector correspond to end-of-period-values and currency premium is monthly average.

7 Increased dollarization: Irrespective of RER exposure Credit in US Dollars over Total Credit 100% Private Sector Dollarization 80% Mortgage loans 60% 40% 20% 0% Jan- 94 Sep- 94 May- 95 Jan- 96 Sep- 96 May- 97 Jan- 98 Sep- 98 May- 99 Jan- 00 Sep- 00 May- 01 Source: Central Bank of Argentina 7
8 Increased dollarization: Across tradables and non-tradables Average Share of US Dollar Debt across Firms Firm's Balance Sheet Dollarization 83% 79% 60% 67% Tradable sector Non-tradable sector Source: Buenos Aires Stock Exchange 8
9 Increased dollarization: Factors behind it Public: Borrowing costs (e.g., pension funds) Signaling problem (e.g., tariff dollarization) Credibility derived not from the easily circumventable Law but from exit costs Private: Borrowing costs Bailout perception (a sammaritan s dilemma ultimately validated) Signaling problem Currency-blind regulation Reserve requirements, liquidity requirements, deposit insurance, credit bureau Interest rate factor 9
10 Interest rate factor: Computation Risk indicators Date Annual interest rate (%) Annual interest rate (%) Risk 7/1/1993 Peso financing Foreign-currency financing up to 24 up to more than 24 to 27 more than 18 to more than 27 to 30 more than 21 to more than 30 to 33 more than 24 to more than 33 to 36 more than 27 to more than 36 to 39 more than 30 to /1/1996 Peso financing Foreign-currency financing up to 18 up to more than 18 to 21 more than 14 to more than 21 to 24 more than 17 to more than 24 to 27 more than 20 to more than 27 to 30 more than 23 to more than 30 to 33 more than 26 to Risk indicator is used in the calculation of the risk value of loans and other financing (excluding credit to financial institutions), which is then used to determine the capital requirements for credit risk. For higher interest rates other risk indicators apply. The period covered is July 1993-December Source: Central Bank of Argentina 10
11 Interest rate factor: How did it work? Peso-Dollar Interest Rate and Risk Spreads by Type of Loan Interest Rate Spread (Basis Points) 2,000 1,600 1, Risk Indicator Spread Overdrafts on current account Bills up to a 89- day term Pledge lending up to a 1-year term Pledge lending over 1-year term Personal loans up to a 180-day term The period covered is July 1993-December Mortgage loans are excluded because only few banks in the system granted mortgage loans in pesos during this period. Source: Central Bank of Argentina 11
12 Bad times: A CGD trap The currency became substantially overvalued Growth became stagnant The public debt was hard to service Increasing the financial exposure to the fiscal sector Raising doubts about its sustainability (particularly if correctly measured) Inducing capital flight 12
13 Bad times: Increasingly desperate attempts Impuestazo (tax hike, January 2000) Labor market reform (early 2000) senate scandal and resignation of vice-president Blindaje : December 2000 IMF bailout package (misleadingly advertised as US$40 billion package) Cavallo Switch to a currency basket peg (anticipated through a fiscal devaluation) Reduction of RRs (and violation of CB s autonomy) Voluntary debt exchange Numerous sector-based tax incentives never implemented Not so voluntary swap (domestically held paper only) Zero deficit law + temporary 13% wage cut for federal employees) Did not improve growth, but rather worsened the debt and currency components of CGD trap 13
14 The meltdown: Anatomy of the run Why is a closer look important? The countervailing role of foreign banks Fiscal contagion vs. currency risk The view that the corralito as a coarse measure to save a few banks suffering large deposit withdrawals The need to asses the causes to better address the what if section 14

21 Living or dying with hard pegs: Lessons from Argentina The benefits of hard pegs have been largely overstated Provide deeper financial markets, but at the cost of deeper financial dollarization (weakening of the peso as store of value) Do not induce fiscal and monetary discipline Difficult to circumvent nominal rigidities critical when pegs do not satisfy OCA criteria Prudential regulation should be adapted The exit problem: searching for a sweet death 21

26 Living or dying with hard pegs: Prudential lessons General liquidity buffers do not fully protect the payment system from a run earmarked liquidity; stop-loss clauses for time deposits Need to limit the exposure of the banking system to government default cap or outright ban on public exposure; mark-to-market of government bonds (including for liquidity requirements or assistance) Need to address the link between debtor capacity to pay and the deflationary adjustment to a more depreciated RER Under a pure peg, through tighter prudential norms for lending to producers of non-tradables Under a pure float, through tighter prudential norms for dollar lending to producers on non-tradables In practice, (not fully credible) hard pegs are in between 26

32 Beyond the bipolar view: Solving the weak currency problem The pure (super) fix vs. float view of exchange rate regimes is inadequate Developing countries have weak currencies: not accepted as store of value either by non-residents (related to original sin) and at home (related to financial dollarization) Currency or maturity mismatches are inevitable, as markets for longduration, domestic-currency assets are non-existent Procyclicality of capital flows is a natural consequence of the procyclicality of the capacity to pay of a weak currency economy The problem can be traced back to a number of factors (poor institutional track record, wrong incentives of short-sighted monetary authorities, moral hazard, etc.) that deserve a more rigorous analysis How to graduate from weak currency problems should be leading the research in this area 32
