Post-crisis Dynamics and Spillovers to the EMs Historically low policy rates and quantitative easing (QE) policies across advanced economies had important implications for emerging markets: Surge in capital inflows Rapid credit expansion Real exchange rate appreciation Deteriorating current account balance Increased vulnerability against sudden reversals in global risk appetite (risk of sudden stop) Amplify macro-financial fluctuations

Long-term capital movements are sum of banking and real sectors long term net credit and bonds issued by banks and the Treasury.
Challenge #1: Balance sheet effect ER is supposed to be shock absorber (via the trade channel) ER movements can be shock amplifier (via the balance sheet effect) ER appreciation during massive capital inflows may improve the net worth of FX indebted firms and ease their collateral constraints, leaving more room for credit expansion. expansionary factors at work through the confidence and risk taking channels if there are currency mismatches in the balance sheets, the impact will be even more significant.
Challenge #2: Exchange rate pass-through Rapid and high exchange rate pass-through effect. Currency appreciation lowers imported inflation, makes more room for expansionary policy Inflation and output move in opposite direction if pass-through is strong
Policy trade-off under standard IT When global liquidity shocks dominate, using single instrument under IT may exacerbate the trade-offs For example, during capital inflows there are two options: i => further appreciation => wider CA deficit, sudden stop risks increase i => easing financial conditions=>feeds credit growth =>overborrowing Multiple objectives, multiple instruments are needed
Benefits and Costs The use of macroprudential tools needs to trade-off benefits and costs benefits from lower systemic risks greater resilience, lower frequency and severity of crises adjustment costs to the financial sector balance sheet constraints may take time to phase-in efficiency costs for borrowers from a reduction in the provision of financial services costs to output growth vary across tools aggressive tightening of any one single tool can lead to output costs implies tighten gradually.
Monetary Policy Framework: Financial stability augmented IT
Turkey has implemented macroprudential measures to enhance the soundness of its financial sector. Macroprudential measures aimed to: smooth credit cycles, (set of MaP tools such as caps and provisions) improve the liability structure of the banks (RRR, remuneration rates) dampen the financial amplification mechanism caused by capital flows (flexible interest rate corridor and reserve option mechanism) and build liquidity cushions.
Turkey has gone through three main phases of macroprudential regulation to smooth credit cycle. First Round (2011) Higher risk weights and provisions for consumer loans. Limits to credit card payments LTV cap for housing loans Second Round (2013-2014) Caps, limits, and higher risk weights on credit cards Maturity restrictions (36 months) for uncollateralized consumer loans LTV cap for vehicle loans More Recently (end-2016) Reversal of MaP, and introduction of Treasury-backed credit guarantees

Overview Recent global fluctuations create new challenges for emerging markets, especially for the ones with large external and FX debt. Portfolio flows directed to and the risk appetite towards emerging markets has stayed strong. But the likelihood of a sharp adjustment should not be overlooked. Policy makers in emerging markets should continue to act cautiously and adopt a prudent stance, while strengthening the policy coordination within and across national boundaries.
