The International Monetary Transmission Mechanism

The aim of this study is to investigate impacts of monetary policy transmission mechanisms on production and prices in theoritical way and to test functioning of monetary transmission channels in Azerbaijan economy. In this article, vector error correction model (VECM) is employed for short and long run relationships in the period of 2001:4-2014:3. Results reveal that, both interest and credit channels are important, with a bit precedence of credit channel in comparison for Azerbaijan economy.

This study analyzed the interest rate channel, credit channel, exchange rate channel and asset price channel for monetary policy transmission mechanism in Namibia. The idea behind this study is to have a comprehensive study that covers a variety of channels for monetary policy transmission mechanism. The study utilized a Bayesian vector autoregression (BVAR) technique on quarterly time-series data covering the period 2000:Q1 to 2016:Q4. In particular, the validity of the data used is checked and verified by using two sets of prior distributions suggested by Sims and Zha as well as prior distribution of Koop and Korobilis. The variables used in this study are real output (Yt), real effective exchange rate (Et), inflation rate (P t), repo rate (Rt), housing price index (Ht) and credit extended to private sector (Lt). The findings revealed that interest rate and credit channels remain important in the transmission mechanism to this day. Notably the exchange rate and asset price channels are also slowly gaining prominence in monetary policy transmission mechanism. Therefore, the study provides useful information to the monetary authorities regarding the process of transmission mechanisms. This is quite important especially that the Central Bank (Bank of Namibia) is very serious about financial stability within the financial system, given the fragility of the financial systems in the world due to financial crisis.

PurposeThis paper aims to study the monetary transmission mechanism of China from January 1996 to December 2009 under endogenous structural breaks.Design/methodology/approachThe study constructs a benchmark VAR model and then adds the proxy variables for four channels of monetary policy transmission as endogenous or exogenous variables in the model to study the transmission mechanism in China. Considering a number of reforms carried out in the economic and financial field in the past two decades and the possibility of structural changes in the monetary transmission mechanism, the methodology proposed by Qu and Perron is employed to allow for endogenous structural changes in the model.FindingsBy conducting a comparative analysis, conclusions can be drawn from this paper that bank lending is always the dominating channel for monetary policy to influence economy in China and the roles of the interest rate channel and the exchange rate channel have been improved in recent years. However, the role of the asset price channel in monetary policy transmission has weakened since late 2001.Originality/valueThis paper combines the quasi‐maximum likelihood procedure proposed by Qu and Perron in 2007 with a benchmark VAR model, thus providing a new approach to study monetary transmission mechanism and the conclusions can be more sensible.

This paper reviews the monetary transmission mechanism in low income countries (LICs). We use monetary transmission in advanced and emerging markets as a benchmark to identify aspects of the transmission mechanism that may operate differently in LICs. In particular, we focus on the effects of financial market structure on monetary transmission. The weak institutional framework prevalent in LICs drastically reduces the role of securities markets and increases the cost of bank lending to private firms. Coupled with imperfect competition in the banking sector, this means that banks with chronically high excess reserves invest in domestic public bonds or (when possible) in foreign bonds. With the financial system not intermediating funds properly, the traditional monetary transmission channels (interest rate, bank lending, and asset price) are impaired. The exchange rate channel, on the other hand, tends to be undermined by central bank intervention in the foreign exchange market. These conclusions are supported by review of the institutional frameworks, statistical analysis, and previous literature.

This work investigates the monetary policy transmission mechanisms and their efficacy in predicting economic growth in Nigeria using the ARDL methodology. Variables included in the model were growth rate of real domestic gross product (RGDP), M2 broad money supply definition, cash reserve ratio (CRR), nominal exchange rate (EXCR); inflation rate (INFL), interest rate and deposit money banks credit to the private sector (BCR). The unit root test using the ADF test revealed that all our variables were integrated at levels I (0). The study proceeded to estimate the ARDL bounds tests; the ARDL long run estimations; the diagnostic tests, normality and stability tests respectively. The critical findings from our result and analysis revealed that broad money supply (M2), exchange rate (EXCR), cash reserve ratio (CRR) and the rate of inflation (INFL) were the major monetary policy transmission mechanism predicting the level of economic growth in Nigeria. Likewise, the study identified interest rate (INTR) and deposit money banks credit to the private sector (BCR) as weak transmission variables driving economic growth and prices in Nigeria. The study concludes that the monetary policy transmission mechanisms have had a mixed bag in predicting economic growth in Nigeria. This conclusion was arrived based on the fact that the findings suggest that the negative impacts outweigh the positives, especially, as the critical variables like interest rate, credit to the private sectors and exchange rate depreciation plays a key role in driving economic growth. The monetary authority should be religious in seeing through monetary policies, especially, in maintaining consistency. Devaluation or depreciation of the naira also is not pro-growth in Nigeria and should be jettisoned, pending the diversification of our economy and improvements in our domestic productive capacities. Evidently, access to private sector credit at a lower interest should be pursued vigorously.

This paper provides a brief survey of the role of financial frictions in the monetary transmission mechanism. After noting some of the key stylised facts that any model of the transmission mechanisms must be consistent with, we discuss both the classical interest rate channel and the credit and bank lending channels of monetary transmission. We then review the empirical evidence relating to the relative importance of these channels. Finally we consider what impact the presence of significant financial frictions might have on the conduct of monetary policy JEL Classification: E52, E58, E44

We propose an econometric model for the transmission mechanism in Brazil after the inflation target regime (IT) implementation. We follow the statistical approach based on the LSE methodology by means of the Spanos (J Econom 44:87–105, 1990) categorization. Our proposed model includes the ratios of the debt and primary surplus to the GDP representing the government fiscal effort. We identify two long run relationships that produce new information on how to evaluate the real interest rate and the nominal interest rate links, respectively, with the output gap and the nominal inflation derived from the IS and the interest rule theoretical models. Such specification explores the role played by fiscal variables in monetary transmission; considering the government fiscal effort, a relevant issue for Brazil. We were also able to identify a third long run relationship that might help to uncover how output gap is related not only with nominal variables but also with the debt to the GDP ratio.

In this paper we analyze the monetary transmission mechanism. In general, the monetary transmission mechanism describes how policy-induced changes in the nominal money stock or the short-term nominal interest rate impact on real variables such as aggregate output and employment. Specific channels of monetary transmission operate through the effects that monetary policy has on interest rates, exchange rates, equity and real estate prices, bank lending and firm balance sheets (Ireland 2005). Recent research on the transmission mechanism seeks to understand how these channels work in the context of dynamic, stochastic, general equilibrium models (e.g. Barran et al. 1995; Boivin and Giannoni 2006; Fukuda 1993; Golinelli and Rovelli 2005; Goodhart and Hofmann 2005; Kim 2003; Lutkepohl and Wolters 2003).

The transmission mechanism of monetary policy in the core and peripheral Euro area

Ensuring a high level of monetary regulation of the economy and improving the efficiency of the central bank's monetary policy largely depend on how effective is the mechanisms of transmission of monetary impulses from the decisions of monetary authorities to market participants through the use of monetary transmission. Given that in the current environment, interest rate policy is the main component of the monetary policy of the vast majority of central banks, interest rate channel is important in the process of monetary transmission. This is also due to the fact that in the monetary transmission system, the interest channel is most closely linked to the mechanisms of functioning of monetary, credit and currency channels. Solving this problem requires the identification the role of the interest channel in the mechanism of monetary transmission, the peculiarities of its function in current conditions, revealing clear causal links and the basic principles of the systematic regularity of monetary development. In addition, it is necessary to identify clear criteria and methods for assessing the effectiveness of the channel, as well as systems and indicators, which allow the use of several parameters in the flow of interest to the channel on the basis of monetary and macroeconomic indicators. The conducted research is based on the statistics of the National Bank of Ukraine for 2005-2020, the system of economic-statistical and economic-mathematical methods, as well as on the calculation of indicators, and is characterize the reliability of models. Quantitative assessment of the efficiency and operating conditions of the interest rate channel of the monetary transmission mechanism should be based on the basic principles of monetary theory and a reliable statistical base. This suggests ways to improve the efficiency of the interest rate channel through the central bank's interest rate policy, adequate money market conditions, and prudent government borrowing policies in the domestic market to ensure efficient transmission of monetary impulses from the central bank to the real sector of the economy. The results of the study can be used to substantiate the forecast parameters of monetary indicators of the monetary policy of the National Bank of Ukraine (NBU) and the conditions of effective functioning of the interest rate channel of monetary transmission in Ukraine in the medium term.

This study examines theoretical and applied problems of the influence of monetary policy on the modern mechanisms of tax regulation. The goal of the study is to determine the connection between the instruments, channels, mechanisms and regimes of the monetary policy of the National Bank of Ukraine and the instruments and mechanisms of the tax regulation, their monetary transmission influence on the budget architectonics. Methods of the study. In order to achieve the goals specified in the academic article a systemic approach has been used to determine the connection between the instruments, channels, mechanisms and regimes of the monetary policy of the National Bank of Ukraine and the instruments and mechanisms of the tax regulation, their monetary transmission influence on the profitable part of the state and local budgets of the country. Study results: the study has shown the influence of instruments of the monetary policy of the National Bank of Ukraine (official exchange rate, bank rate), emission channel of the national currency of Ukraine, organization mechanism of cash and noncash money turnover and the regime of inflation targeting on the tax regulation mechanisms (planning, forecasting, accounting, control, administration) and their elements (taxpayers, taxation basis, tax rates, process of tax calculation, tax payment procedure) which on the whole determine their influence on the budget architectonics (correlation of the profitable part of the state and local budgets) over a short period of time through the mechanism of impulse transmission. Application area of results: organizing and conducting scientific research and ensuring the coordination in the sphere of tax, budget and monetary policy. Conclusion. The results of the study show that the monetary policy of the National Bank of Ukraine, by implementing monetary transmission mechanism as a process of transmitting changes in the use of its instruments, has a significant influence on certain mechanisms and elements of the tax regulation at the first stage of its implementation, and at the second stage the changes in the tax regulation are introduced into the budget regulation and influence the budget architectonics. The whole correlation between the profitable part of the state and the local budgets is the result of influence of the totality of instruments, channels, mechanisms and regimes of the monetary policy of the National Bank of Ukraine on the instruments and mechanisms of the tax regulation at the first stage of implementation of the monetary transmission mechanism.
