16 Policy makers concern not only for inflation and current account deficit sustainability, but also for financial stability (bitter memories of the nineties) Macro-prudential measures: Reserve requirements (rapid credit growth and slow transmission of policy rate hikes) Capital controls (appreciation, control of leverage) Increased provisioning requirements (rapid credit growth and exposure of banks to household sector) Counterparty risk limits in FX markets International reserves purchases (appreciation, perception of temporary favorable external conditions)

17 This in addition to: Permanent regulation on FX and FX maturity mismatches of banks (no domestic FX interbank loan market) Flexible exchange FX risk contains excessive foreign indebtedness

18 Results: Low corporate sector leverage Low currency mismatches Control on household indebtedness Solid banks Low probability of FX liquidity problems Corporate Sector Total Liabilities/Total assets 17,0% Financial System Risk-weighted Assets/Net Worth 39,0% 38,0% 37,0% 36,0% 35,0% 34,0% 33,0% 32,0% 31,0% Total Tradables Non-Tradables 16,0% 15,0% 14,0% 13,0% 12,0% 11,0% 10,0% 9,0% 8,0% Ene-04 Abr-04 Jul-04 Oct-04 Ene-05 Abr-05 Jul-05 Oct-05 Financial system Ene-06 Abr-06 Jul-06 Oct-06 Ene-07 Abr-07 Jul-07 Oct-07 Ene-08 Abr-08 Jul-08 Oct-08 Minimum requirement

19 In sum, when the crisis hit, the Colombian economy was characterized by: A slowdown of output growth as a result of monetary policy tightening and the supply shocks An increase in inflation, with the targets being missed, as a consequence of the supply shocks A slowdown of credit expansion as a result of monetary policy tightening and other measures to control credit growth Healthy financial positions of firms, households and banks thanks to contained credit expansion and small mismatches in balance sheets

20 II. The Effects of the International Crisis

25 FDI expected to fall Net FDI (USD Million) pre 2009 proy pre: Preliminar. proy: BR BoP Forecast

26 Assessment: Strong shocks to the Current Account External financing dearer but available Worsening expectations at home (consumers and businesses) and abroad (outlook for trading partners, TOT)

27 Results: Negative shock to national income and expenditure on top of ongoing slowdown Real and nominal depreciation But: Real depreciation (partially) compensates impacts on current account items No strong restriction on foreign financing No domestic credit crunch (credit annual growth rate still greater than GDP growth) No dramatic adjustment of Domestic Absorption

28 In sum: Negative shock to income and expenditure + No abrupt adjustment of Domestic Absorption + Reversion of supply shocks + Pick up in public investment (regional electoral cycle) = Sharp decline in growth, but not a disaster like 1999 (Recession + Financial Crisis)

29 On Inflation: Reversion of supply shocks Widening of the output gap Expectations partially anchored (Reacted less than one for one to supply shocks and converged rapidly to target with reversion of headline inflation) Moderate wage adjustments Margin for inflation to fall

30 III. Monetary Policy Responses

31 Countercyclical so far: The inflation target was increased from 3.5%- 4.5% in 2008 to 4.5%-5.5% in 2009 Idea: Gradual reversion of inflation after supply shock Avoid large volatility of interest rates and output in the face of worsening external conditions Path of convergence to long run target was announced to ensure that the signal was one of a temporary adjustment in the target: 4% midpoint for 2010 and 3%±1% for 2011

32 Countercyclical so far: Reserve requirements were reduced in November 2008 by 1% (on average) to provide liquidity in a moment of market nervousness and to start relaxing the stance of monetary policy Capital controls were partially lifted in October 2008: Depreciation + Slowdown in credit Policy rate has been decreased by 200 bps. since December 2008 (smaller drop in ex-post real interest rates)

33 This has been possible because: Policy was countercyclical in the expansion phase of the cycle: No large imbalances were allowed, so core inflation was contained Inflation expectations were partially anchored There have been no serious trouble so far with the depreciation: Relatively low pass-through + Sustained depreciation not expected The external shock caused a depreciation, but at the same time impacted negatively aggregate demand Low currency mismatches Moderate CA deficits before (no large imbalances were allowed)

34 The transmission mechanism seems to be working: Active credit channel Policy rates reduction has been transmitted to other rates (less clear for consumer loans) 12,0% Nominal Interest Rates 17,00% 16,50% 16,00% 15,50% 10,0% 15,00% 14,50% 14,00% 13,50% 8,0% 13,00% 31-dic ene feb mar abr may jun jul ago sep oct nov dic ene feb day CD rates Policy Rate Commercial Loan Rates Thanks to a still healthy financial system

35 Risks: Size of the external shocks In particular, serious restriction of foreign financing: Strong depreciation with imperfectly credible monetary policy Still plenty of rigidities (e.g. labor markets) Abrupt CA deficit correction will cause a contraction of domestic absorption

36 IV. Exchange Rate Policy Responses

37 Floating Exchange Rate: International Reserves accumulation while the exchange rate appreciated in 2008: Auction of put options (US$ 450 million, April- June 2008) US$20 million daily direct purchases (auctions) (June-October 2008) No discretionary intervention No exchange rate target

38 Nominal Exchange Rate (COP/USD) Ene Mar Nov Dic Dic Dic Ene Ene Feb Feb Mar Ene Ene Ene Feb Feb Mar Mar Abr Abr May May Jun Jun Jul Jul Jul Ago Ago Sep Sep Oct Oct Nov-08

39 FX Intervention by Banco de la República (USD Million) Accumulation Volatility Volatility Direct Total Put Put Call Auctions 2008 January 0,00 February 232,7 232,65 March 38,0 38,00 April 150,0 62,5 212,50 May 150,0 150,00 June 150,0 180,0 71,6 401,60 July 444,3 444,30 August 380,0 380,00 September 440,0 440,00 October -234,55 79,9-154,65 November 0,00 December 2,3 2,30 Total 450,0 515,5-234, ,8 2146, January -175,0-175,0 February -193,5-193,5 March 0,0 Total 0,0 0,0-368,50 0,0-368,5

40 Floating Exchange Rate: Appreciation trend was reversed in June 2008 and depreciation accelerated in August 2008 Reserve accumulation program based on daily interventions in the FX market was stopped in October 2008 Capital controls were lifted in October 2008 As the international context was rapidly changing, floating was considered convenient Intervention restricted to automatic auctions of Volatility call options Even this mechanism was altered to allow for greater flexibility (trigger was increased from 2% to 5% of exchange rate 20 day moving average) and was eventually suspended between July and October 2008

41 Floating Exchange Rate: The liquidity squeeze that hit other FX markets in the region did not happen in Colombia Regulation inhibits domestic USD interbank loan market Regulation limited FX counterparty risk The COP was relatively stable between November 2008 and January 2009, while other currencies in the region depreciated rapidly

42 150,00 140,00 130,00 120,00 110,00 100,00 90,00 80,00 Nominal Exchange Rate Indeces January 2008 = Ene Ene Feb Mar Mar Abr May May Jun Jul Jul Ago Sep Oct Oct Nov Dic Dic Ene Feb Feb-09 Colombia México Brasil Perú Chile

43 Floating Exchange Rate: However, the COP caught up abruptly with other currencies in February 2009 Large forward purchases by off-shores and pension funds Again, only automatic Volatility call options have been used

44 Floating Exchange Rate: Rationale: Healthy effects of exchange rate flexibility (shock absorber, countercyclical monetary policy, currency risk) Given inflation outlook and low currency mismatches, the only reason to intervene is to avoid disorderly behavior in currency and other asset markets Automatic Volatility call options instrument useful so far No clear evidence of persistent exchange rate misalignment Desirable to avoid contradictory signals of FX policy and monetary policy Do not want to invite speculative behavior against the central bank + Use of international reserves deemed more valuable under worse external or FX market conditions
