3 Introduction EU candidate and potential candidate countries Candidate countries (CCs): (Iceland*), Montenegro, Serbia, Turkey (accession negotiations opened) Albania, FYR Macedonia Potential Candidates (pccs): Bosnia and Herzegovina (has applied for membership) Kosovo** * Icelandic authorities declared in spring 215 that they would not want Iceland to be considered as an EU candidate country anymore. ** This designation is without prejudice to positions on status, and is in line with UNSCR 1244 and the ICJ Opinion on the Kosovo Declaration of Independence. Page 3
4 Introduction Some characteristics of EU candidate and potential candidate countries in the Western Balkan Successor states of former Yugoslavia plus Albania Political instabilities (e. g. Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kosovo status, tensions in FYROM) Institutional deficiencies, structural weaknesses Economies characterised by high external imbalances, high unemployment, volatile growth performance, fiscal deficits, high euroisation Different exchange rate regimes Financial sector dominated by foreign (mainly EU headquartered) banks, high NPL ratios, shallow markets Selected macroeconomic indicators, candidate and potential candidate countries in the Western Balkan Real GDP growth Current account Inflation (CPI, annual General government Unemployment (%) (%) balance (% of GDP) % change) balance (% of GDP) Albania 1,8 2,6-12,9-11,2 1,6 1,9-5,2-4, 17,9 17,5 Bosnia and Herzeg. 1,4 3,2-7,5-5,6 -,9-1, -2, : 43,6 42,9 Kosovo,9 : -7,8-9,1,4 -,5-2,2-2, 35,3 32,9 FYROM 3,5 3,7 -,8-1,4 -,3 -,3-3,4-2,9 28, 26,1 Montenegro 1,8 3,2-15,2-13,4 -,5 1,4-3,1-8,4 18, 17,6 Serbia -1,8,7-6, -4,8 2,1 1,4-6,6-3,8 19,2 17,7 Page 4 Source: European Commission, DG ECFIN, EU Candidate and Potential Candidate Countries' Economic Quarterly, Technical Paper 1, July 216
5 Introduction Dollarisation/euroisation Widespread phenomenon in developing and emerging economies Distinct from official (unilateral) euroisation/dollarisation Choice to (partly) outsource the functions of money to a foreign currency typically as a result of low trust in the domestic currency Significant drawbacks for monetary policy and financial stability Optimal level probably >, but < high levels observed in many countries Experience shows that reducing euroisation/dollarisation rates is a long-term and difficult process as it needs to (re-)install confidence Nevertheless, some factors and measures that foster deeuroisation/de-dollarisation can be identified Page 5
6 Overview Introduction Drivers and drawbacks of unofficial euroisation/dollarisation Selected country cases of successful de-dollarisation Unofficial euroisation in EU candidate and potential candidate countries 5 Conclusions Page 6
7 Drivers and drawbacks of unofficial euroisation/dollarisation Drivers Demand-side ( pull ) factors: High inflation / hyperinflation, inflationary memory High volatility of inflation and the exchange rate currency substitution Lack of monetary history General macroeconomic instability Risk and return on domestic vs. foreign assets asset substitution Lack of functioning local currency capital markets financial dollarisation original sin Supply-side ( push ) factors Fixed exchange rate regimes fear of floating Interest-rate differential used by banks to gain market shares Integration into world trade and financial markets For EU CCs/pCCs: Perspective of EU membership, foreign bank ownership Page 7
8 Drivers and drawbacks of unofficial euroisation/dollarisation Drawbacks Particularly relevant for central banks as the guardians of both price and financial stability Drawbacks for monetary policy Loss in effectiveness as money supply contains a component outside the control of the central bank More complex transmission mechanism In inflation targeting regimes the room for moving interest rates limited by the need to maintain an interest rate differential to anchor currency Exchange rate leverage limited due to fear of floating Less room to influence macroeconomic variables Less seignorage income Drawbacks for financial stability Effects on banks balance sheets in the event of adverse exchange rate developments (currency mismatch, net open fx positions, unhedged borrowers) Limited lender of last resort function Page 8
9 Overview Introduction Drivers and drawbacks of unofficial euroisation/dollarisation Selected country cases of successful de-dollarisation Unofficial euroisation in EU candidate and potential candidate countries 5 Conclusions Page 9
10 Selected country cases of successful de-dollarisation Experiences vary but also display common features Attempts of forced de-dollarisation (legal restrictions on the use of foreign currency) usually failed Reforms of macroeconomic regimes and institutions, often accompanied by prudential and administrative measures and the development of local currency capital markets seem to be more promising, but take time. Cases of Israel, Poland and Peru represent examples of successful de-dollarisation of three different regions and time periods Page 1

23 Conclusions Results mixed so far in EU CCs and pccs Levels of euroisation still too high In Bosnia and Herzegovina and FYROM declining euroisation rates both for lending and deposits In Albania fall on the lending side and slight increase on deposit side Highest rates observed in Serbia, only recent decline on lending side, stable on deposit side Stable development in Turkey, albeit at significantly lower level Page 26
24 Conclusions Three groups of success factors Macroeconomic stabilisation Necessary, but not sufficient condition Prudent fiscal policies, growth-friendly environment, low and stable inflation, central bank independence, sustainable external balances Results on exchange-rate regime not clear-cut Prudential regulations Should be well-calibrated, country-specific ESRB recommendations Development of capital markets in domestic currency Governments can play an active role Evolution of secondary markets Development of local corporate bond markets Page 27
