Price Instability

While most recent central bank’s foreign-exchange interventions have been directed at mitigating speculative currency pressures and reducing risks to price instability, as well as curbing volatility in capital flows, the good governance implementation plays significant role in making the foreign-exchange operations done in efficient and effective way. For Bank Indonesia, the implementation of foreign exchange policy strategy followed governance principle is essential and geared toward price and financial system stability. In practice, the objective is reached through foreign-exchange intervention policy combined with other monetary and macroprudential policy called policy mix.

Key Concepts

The global crisis brings about renewed reforms on central bank policy. First, in addition to the traditional mandate of price stability, there are strong supports for additional mandate of the central bank to promote financial system stability. Second, macroprudential policy is needed to address procyclicality and build-up systemic risks in the macro-financial linkages of financial system that in most cases precede and deepen financial crisis. Third, monetary and financial stability are also prone to volatility of capital flows, especially for the emerging countries, and thus there is a need to manage them. The challenge is how to mix the policies of monetary, macroprudential, and capital flows management to meet the renewed mandate of central bank on monetary and financial stability. This paper reviews theoretical underpinnings and provides key concepts to address the issues. We show that central bank policy mix is both conceptually coherent and practically implementable. We provide a concrete recommendation with a reference from Indonesia’s experience since 2010. We also raise a number of challenges from practical point of views, especially relating to decision making process, forecasting model, and communication, for the success of the policy mix.

Intervention Policy

I consider a small open economy model where international financial markets are imperfect and the exchange rate is determined by capital flows. I use this framework to study the effects of portfolio flow shocks, derive the optimal foreign exchange intervention policy, and characterize its interaction with monetary policy. I derive the optimal intervention rule in closed form as a function of three implicit targets. Finally, using Swiss data, I estimate the model to quantify the inefficiencies generated by capital flow shocks and the optimal size of the intervention. (JEL E44, E52, E63, F31, F32, F33, F41)

Capital Outflows

We study the optimal management of capital flows in a small open economy model with financial frictions and multiple policy instruments. The paper reports two main findings. First, both foreign exchange intervention (FXI) and macroprudential polices are tools complementary to the monetary policy rate that can largely reduce inflation and output volatility in a scenario of capital outflows. Second, the optimal policy mix depends on the underlying shock driving capital flows. FXI takes the leading role in response to foreign interest rate shocks, while macroprudential policy becomes the prominent tool for domestic risk shocks. These results highlight the importance of calibrating the use of multiple instruments according to the underlying shocks that induce shifts in capital flows.

The Impact

The financial crisis that has happened has changed the perspective of the central banks in the world, including Indonesia in viewing that financial system stability is also important in addition to price stability. In achieving this goal, Bank Indonesia formulated a policy namely the Bank Indonesia Policy Mix which is the integration of monetary and macroprudential policies.This research aims to analyze the impact of the monetary and macroprudential policy mix on price stability and financial system stability in Indonesia. The analysis method applied in this study is Vector Error Correction Model (VECM) and Granger Causality. The results of the study show that both monetary and macroprudential policies can achieve price stability. In achieving financial system stability, monetary policy instruments take longer than macroprudential policies. The monetary and macroprudential policy mix instruments can reduce inflation volatility and exchange rate volatility so as to encourage price stability and financial system stability.

The Government

The Indonesian economy recorded development in Quarter 4, 2016. The growth increased with more sound macroeconomic and financial system stability. The growth was supported by the growth of household consumption, better performance of investment, and the raise of export. On the other hand, the macroeconomic stability is well maintained as reflected on lower inflation, decreasing current account deficit, and stable Rupiah against foreign exchange. Domestic economy improves in accordance with the lower global financial risk and provides room for easing monetary policy on Quarter IV, 2016. The central bank lower the policy rate is well transmitted and is expected to strenghthen the growth momentum of economy ahead. Looking forward however, we still have to keep an eye on several external and domestic risks. For these reasons, Bank Indonesia keeps strengthening its monetary and macroprudential policy mix, and its coordination with the government in order to maintain the macroeconmoic stability, supporting the growth, and accelerate the structural reforms.

Effective Integration

At present Russia faces the task of great importance - effective integration into the world economy. The success of this process largely depends on the strength of the domestic economy and stable economic growth. To attain such a goal certain changes in economic approaches are required which imply more active, focused and concerted steps in the monetary, fiscal and foreign exchange policy.
