Abstract

The FSAP took place during the aftermath of a major shock for the Saudi economy, whose repercussions were still being felt despite a decisive policy response. During 2015–16, the decline in oil prices led to a sharp fall in oil revenues. Government spending was cut and payments to some suppliers were delayed, adding to the contractionary effects on the economy. Combined with sharply increased domestic government borrowing, these developments contributed to a tightening in banking system liquidity. SAMA injected liquidity and relaxed the prudential ratio on banks’ lending to deposits. These measures were effective and, by end-2016, as government arrears were being repaid, the situation in the banking system had started to normalize.

Abstract

The recent turmoil on financial markets has made evident the importance of efficient liquidity risk management for the stability of banks. The measurement and management of liquidity risk must take into account economic factors such as the impact area, the timeframe of the analysis, the origin and the economic scenario in which the risk becomes manifest. Basel III, among other things, has introduced harmonized international minimum requirements and has developed global liquidity standards and supervisory monitoring procedures. The short book analyses the economic impact of the new regulation on profitability, on assets composition and business mix, on liabilities structure and replacement effects on banking and financial products.

Abstract

What is global liquidity and how does it affect an economy? The paper addresses that question by looking at liquidity from two different perspectives: global liquidity as availability of funds in safe and risky asset markets. This distinction between safe and risky asset markets is important due to market segmentation, which called for unconventional monetary policy to restore a function of risky asset markets. To analyze the effect of global liquidity, I construct proxy variables and then asses how they affect an emerging economy whose interest rate is affected by a world risk-free rate and a risk premium. Using the data from four major Latin American countries, I find that these two aspects of global liquidity have similar effects on economic performance in emerging market economies except for their effect on inflation.

Abstract

The paper discusses the reasons for central bank (CB) issuance of securities, and reasons for choosing different approaches e.g. in maturities and target market. It provides evidence on the range of different approaches taken by those CBs which do issue, as well as suggesting reasons why some CBs do not; and provides operational guidelines on the major building blocks of the issuance of CB securities.

Abstract

Brazil has a large and diverse investments funds sector which is subject to a robust regulatory framework. The competent authority, the Comissão de Valores Mobiliários (CVM), requires high standards of the entities it oversees and makes good use of the extensive data it receives from market participants on an ongoing basis. Fiduciary administrators play an important role as the main gatekeeper for investment funds and, despite the highly concentrated nature of the industry, there is evidence that they make a significant contribution to the safety and soundness of the sector as a whole.

Abstract

This paper assesses the stability of Saudi Arabia’s financial system as a whole. Banks—the core of the Saudi financial system—remain liquid and resilient. Stress tests show that most banks, including all systemically important banks, would be able to continue operating and meeting regulatory capital requirements in the event of additional severe economic shocks, characterized by oil prices falling substantially below current levels. Despite the recent liquidity challenges, all banks would also be able to cope with additional adverse liquidity shocks. The authorities’ ambitious agenda for improving macro- and microprudential financial sector oversight should be fully implemented and, in some cases, enhanced and further refined.

Abstract

This paper examines the drivers of liquidity shortages in the Mexican government bond market. We use unique transaction- and quote level data with information on end-investors to construct an index of bond market liquidity. We find that liquidity remained stable in recent years, although temporary shortages arose amid domestic and global market stress. The analysis suggests that the largest liquidity squeezes have tended to be driven by foreign investors, whose sell-offs were especially pronounced in less liquid market segments. While domestic banks often absorbed part of the shock, other domestic investors—with the notable inclusion of domestic pension and mutual funds—appeared to take a more opportunistic stance depending on the nature of the shock.
