Central Bank Collaboration: An Unexpected Conundrum
In a recent article penned by Harold James, titled "A Guide to Communicating by the World's Major Central Banks," the focus lies on the question of accountability for the negative spill-over effects of central bank decision-making bodies.
The article discusses the role of organizations such as the European Central Bank (ECB), national supervisory authorities like BaFin and Deutsche Bundesbank, and European supervisory mechanisms like the Single Supervisory Mechanism (SSM). These entities work together to implement oversight, identifying and managing risks and impacts of monetary policy decisions.
However, the article does not delve into the domestic economic uncertainty driving the Federal Reserve's monetary easing policies. The Fed has announced it will maintain its current pace of these policies, which includes its large-scale purchases of long-term assets, a reference to its quantitative easing policy.
The concern arises regarding the potential impact of these policies on emerging economies. Countries like Brazil, India, Indonesia, South Africa, and Turkey are mentioned as potentially affected by a sharp increase in interest rates that could result from ending the current policy.
European banks, in particular, are currently worried about a debt totaling 665 billion. Yet, the article does not provide a detailed explanation of how this debt is affecting European banks.
The article does not focus on the specific details of the Fed's quantitative easing policy, nor does it raise questions about the accountability of central bank decision-making bodies. It does, however, highlight the negative spill-overs of the Fed's monetary policies as a point of debate regarding central bank accountability.
One statement in the article reads, "It's not banks' job to fund the consequences of corporate corruption." This suggests a broader discussion on the role and responsibilities of central banks in the global economy.
Interestingly, the article does not mention any specific emerging economies that could be affected by interest rate increases, nor does it discuss the potential negative spillovers of the Fed's monetary policies. This leaves room for further investigation and discussion on these important topics.
