1 The ECB and The Fed How Did They React to the Crisis? Tomáš Holub Executive Director Monetary and Statistics Department 11 July 2012, Prague
2 Outline Interest rate response to the crisis Unconventional monetary policy What explains the differences? Differences in mandates and MP strategy Prohibition of monetary financing Differences in financial system Fiscal situation, asymmetries within the EA Summary and conclusions 2

The ECB started to cut rates later (in the fall of 2008), and it increased them (temporarily) in

EA 3M Rate EA O/N Rate EA 1M Rate US 3M Rate I.07 V.07 IX.07 I.08 V.08 IX.08 I.09 V.09 IX.09 I.10 V.10 IX.10 I.11 V.11 IX.11 I.12 V.12 In practice, money market rates in the EA fell well below the main policy rate in the periods of surplus liquidity. The ZLB was thus reached de facto (why not de jure?). 4
5 Fed s Forward Guidance The Committee decided today to keep the target range for the federal funds rate at 0 to 1/4 percent and currently anticipates that economic conditions--including low rates of resource utilization and a subdued outlook for inflation over the medium run--are likely to warrant exceptionally low levels for the federal funds rate at least through late i.e. Fed has also started to provide guidance on future interest rate outlook (unlike the ECB) 5
6 Unconventional Measures (i) Phase I: trying to keep market interest rates close to main policy rates, satisfy increased demand for liquidity (i.e. doing the standard job in non-standard circumstances) by: Broadening the range of counterparties and collateral Full-allotment fixed-rate tenders (ECB) Narrower corridors around the main policy rate Extending maturities of monetary operations FX swaps with other central banks, etc. 6

Why has the ECB not adopted Fed-like forward guidance? Why has the ECB been reluctant to buy GBs in massively? Why has the ECB relied on providing financing to banks? Why the ECB cannot solve the debt crisis? 16

20 Differences in Mandates ECB/ESCB: The primary objective of the ESCB shall be to maintain price stability. Without prejudice to the objective of price stability, the ESCB shall support the general economic policies in the Union... Fed: the Board of Governors and the FFOMC should seek to promote effectively the goals of maximum employment, stable prices, and moderate long-term interest rates. 20
21 Prohibition of Monetary Financing ECB/ESCB: Article 123 (ex Article 101 TEC): 1. Overdraft facilities or any other type of credit facility with the ECB or with the NCBs in favour of Union institutions, bodies, offices or agencies, central governments, regional, local or other public authorities, other bodies governed by public law, or public undertakings of Member States shall be prohibited, as shall the purchase directly from them by the ECB or NCBs of debt instruments. 21

Why the ECB cannot solve the debt crisis? 25
26 Structure of the Financial System J.-C. Trichet: Our response to the crisis has been carefully calibrated to the financial and economic structures of the euro area. In particular, we needed to bear in mind that the euro area s financial system is predominantly bank-based. Take the structures of private credit outstanding as an example: recourse to banks makes up more than 70% of non-equity external finance in the euro area. By comparison, in the US the equivalent proportion is only around 30%. This reflects the fact that the US financial system is primarily market-based. In the euro area, guaranteeing steady access to credit for households and companies largely means preserving the viability of the banking system. Banks play such a dominant role in our economy that it was appropriate to focus our non-standard measures on the banking sector. 26
27 Structure of the Financial System Bank claims on private sector (in % of GDP) Stock market capitalization (in % of GDP) EA USA EU-27 USA Source: Eurostat, IMF Euro area has a bank-based financial system. Market-based finance is much more important in the US. 27

31 Fiscal Situation in the EA and US Government deficit (in % of GDP) Government debt (in % of GDP) Euro area (17 countries) US (Federal gov't) United Kingdom Euro area (17 countries) United Kingdom US Federal debt held by the public The aggregate EA fiscal situation is not worse than in the USA or UK. The problem is country-level heterogeneity and political (sociological, economic, institutional, etc.) infeasibility of pooling the debt. Selective monetization is also not possible (see above). 31

This makes the single monetary policy difficult. 34
35 Conclusions In the end, the Fed and ECB did similar things during the crisis in terms of market IRs and BS-expansion, even though using different tools (and the ECB perhaps more reluctantly). The two central banks have different pieces of information coded in their genes. They operate in different financial systems. The euro area suffers from the weakest link problem that is impossible to solve by monetary policy (which should respond to the EA-wide aggregates). 35
