3 Danish monetary policy an overview 3
4 Denmark conducts a fixed-exchange-rate policy Denmark conducts a fixed-exchange-rate policy vis-à-vis the euro. Consequently, monetary and foreign-exchange policy is aimed at keeping the krone stable against the euro. Other considerations than the exchange rate are not considered in relation to monetary policy, and Danmarks Nationalbank's monetary-policy interest rates are used solely to manage the krone rate. The main objective of monetary policy in the euro area is to maintain an inflation rate of below, but close to, 2 per cent. By keeping the krone stable against the euro, a basis for low inflation is also created in Denmark in the slightly longer term. The formal framework for Denmark s fixed-exchange-rate policy is the European Exchange Rate Mechanism, ERM II. Denmark participates at a central rate of kroner per euro and a fluctuation band of +/ per cent. Formally, ERMII participation only implies that the krone must be kept within the fluctuation band, but since 1997 Danmarks Nationalbank has kept the krone close to its central rate.

6 Monetary policy instruments in Denmark Danmarks Nationalbank conducts monetary policy via its monetary-policy instruments, i.e. the facilities used by Danmarks Nationalbank to manage and remunerate accounts (lending and deposits) with banks and mortgage Institutes the monetarypolicy counterparties.

10 Why did Denmark introduce negative rates in 2012?

14 Why did investors go to Denmark? other reasons Euro zone break-up fears. Safe-haven and diversification. Front-running of negative rates. Investors that believed that EUR/DKK would be allowed to move lower. Foreign investor increasingly focus on Danish mortgage bonds 14

16 3) It forced the central bank to intervene in the currency market If DKK tends to weaken or strengthen, Danmarks Nationalbank will normally respond first by intervening in FX markets. In the event of significant or continued impact on DKK, the central bank will normally supplement intervention by rate change. Source: Reuters EcoWin Danmarks Nationalbank will typically resort to rate change after FX intervention of DKK10-15bn. 16

18 5) The option of negative rates came on the table in the beginning of 2012 Few examples of negative rates. The Swedish Riksbank lowered the rate of interest on its deposit facility July But little market impact as very little cash was in fact deposited at a negative rate. In the 1970ties the interest rate for foreign deposits was negative in Switzerland, but not the monetary policy rate Negative market rates and yields have been more common. Danish and German t-bills traded with a negative yield as early as
19 6) What did the Danish monetary authorities consider 1. Needs to ensure a pass-through to the money market and the currency market 2. They wanted to use existing monetary-policy instruments and ease the strain on Danish banks 3. Focus on preparing the market for negative deposit rates 19

22 #2 and #3: Use of exiting monetary-policy instruments When the CD rate was lowered to negative the currentaccount limits were hiked from DKK 23.14bn to DKK bn. (Banks can place at 0.0% at the current account) It reduces the strain on monetary-policy counterparties, but secures that the marginal deposit rates is still negative February 2012 was the financial sector informed directly about the possible use of negative rates (5 months notice) 22

24 Effect of NIRP in Denmark EUR/DKK moved back towards the central parity The Danish central bank (Nationalbanken) cut its deposit rate (CD rate) to -0.2% on July 5 making Denmark the first country to truly introduce an official negative interest rate. Subsequently CD rate hiked to current level of -0.1%.

29 What can ECB learn from Denmark? any unintended consequences? Technically is possible. But some preparation time is warranted. Strong performance for short-dated bonds. Market pricing is affected. The Danish central bank did not cut rates to stimulate the economy, but to safe-guard the fixedexchange rate policy. The Danish central bank has ruled out a negative lending rate Small effect on the Danish economy that is still struggling. No magic bullet! Negative deposit rates comes with a cost for banks as corporates/households have not been charged. Bank lending rates might be hiked to compensate. (an unintended consequence) Danish banks can only to a limited degree affect excess liquidity (banks net position). Denmark introduced negative deposit rates in 2012 might worth hearing about their experiences and if they have seen any unintended consequences before I go down that road!
