Home Letters to Editor Domestic World ... Chinese US Monetary Policy: Gloom or Bloom? As Wall Street analysts listened to Alan Greenspan's surprisingly downbeat testimony on the US economy last week, a telling moment came when a lawmaker asked him to pinpoint the timing of recovery. The Federal Reserve chief hesitated, then said reluctantly: "If I have to make a forecast ... towards the end of this year we will see things improving, clearly so next year." Fed watchers said the chairman's reticence underscored a difference of opinion within the marbled walls of the central bank: Greenspan is more worried than many of his colleagues that economic events could worsen before they get better. "The crucial question is, how much economic stimulus do we have in the pipeline?" said economist Jan Hatzius of Goldman Sachs in New York. Greenspan, who spoke to the House Financial Services Committee last week in the first leg of his semi-annual monetary testimony, will appear again on Capitol Hill today before the Senate Banking Committee. He is expected to repeat his formal testimony but senators will have a chance to grill him further about the economy.

"The international financial situation for 2003 remains austere and there is considerable uncertainty regarding global economic growth," the People's Bank of China (PBOC) said in its 2002 monetary policy report released yesterday. Major concerns dogging the global financial outlook, it said, include the prospect of an imminent United States-led war on Iraq, terrorism, the slim possibility of a prompt US economic recovery as well as the looming threat of global deflation. Such uncertainties have created new variables in the external environment of China's economic growth and a continuing spike in global oil prices in the first half of this year, the PBOC said, may have a "certain impact" on China's international balance of payments.

The first chapter of this Statement is provided below. The complete Statement can be viewed as a 838K PDF file. Introduction Both of these risks increased appreciably in the first half of the year, with the international economic data generally disappointing and the Australian dollar on a strong upward trend during that period, particularly during May. More recent developments, however, suggest that the risks from these two sources have lessened. For the present, then, the downside risks to the Australian economy from external sources appear less severe than they were a couple of months ago. Nonetheless, developments in these areas are subject to ongoing change and will continue to have a strong bearing on the policy assessment in the period ahead. Alongside the borrowing for the purchase of housing assets, there is the phenomenon of housing equity withdrawal, whereby households are borrowing against rising housing values to fund other forms of spending. This process is estimated to have been augmenting household cash flows in the past year by around 4 per cent. In the short term, absent an adverse shock, this is likely to continue, thereby supporting demand growth. But were Australia to enter at some stage a period of declining housing prices, it is likely that this equity withdrawal would be scaled back, or would possibly go into reverse, resulting in a cutback in spending, with a potentially destabilising effect on the broader economy. The risk of a large impact from such an event will be greater the longer these current trends in credit and housing markets persist.

Moskow President and CEO Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago U.S. Business School-Prague Seminar Czech National Bank Prague, Czech Republic November 10, 2003 U.S. Monetary Policy Good morning. I am glad to be here to share my thoughts on monetary policy. Today, I'd like to discuss how monetary policy is conducted in the United States and the critical role that communication plays in monetary policy. But, first, I'd like to give you a little background on the Federal Reserve. Our goal is to foster monetary conditions that promote both price stability and maximum sustainable economic growth, as well as contain any systemic financial risks. We think of these goals as complementary - it is difficult to have maximum sustainable growth without price stability; similarly, uncontained systemic financial risk could threaten sustainable economic activity. Like all central banks, we carry out this mission by conducting monetary policy. Unlike many others, we also support these goals by ensuring that the financial payments system works smoothly and efficiently and by supervising and regulating financial institutions. Our role in the payments system has helped us meet financial challenges, such as providing liquidity following the tragic terrorist attacks in New York City and Washington D.C. on September 11. Our supervision and regulation function gives us important insights into the developments in the banking system and the borrowers and lenders that it serves.

Economic Forum Home HKTDC Strategic Partners Asian Development Bank Bank of East Asia Bank of China CitiBank ... Standard Chartered Bank 5 February, 2004 Issues in Monetary Policy Content provided by: The Hong Kong dollar has been showing a tendency to strengthen in recent months, although it has weakened somewhat in the past few days. Hong Kong's Currency Board system has been able to handle this well. Shortly before the Lunar New Year holidays, on 19 January, I gave a speech on some of the issues in monetary policy that Hong Kong now faces. It was an attempt to answer many of the queries and doubts raised concerning the operation of the Currency Board system at a time when the exchange rate was exhibiting a tendency to strengthen. Although there was in 1987 a similar episode of strength in the Hong Kong dollar, when the US dollar weakened sharply against other foreign currencies, the structure of our system has since undergone significant modifications, which make quite a difference to the way in which our system handles such a tendency. Then, the monetary base was yet undefined. The HKMA was not yet in existence. The banks were not yet required to operate clearing accounts with the authorities. Then, the only mechanisms for dealing with the substantial inflow of funds into the Hong Kong dollar were exchange market intervention and the threat of negative interest rates. And without the HKMA operating the clearing system, any negative interest rates would have had to be promulgated through rules made by the Hong Kong Association of Banks.

Yet easy money alone won't be able to rescue the economy from recession. There are many uncertainties that are worrying people, making them unwilling to increase spending. The CBC cut its rediscount rate, secured loan rate and short-term accommodation rate by 25 basis points to 2.5 percent, 2.875 percent and 4.75 percent, respectively, all breaking record lows. The cuts should translate into lower borrowing costs for individuals and companies. The lowering of the reserve ratios the percentage of funds banks are required to redeposit with the central bank by an average of 1.22 percentage points to 5 percent will obligate the CBC to release an additional NT$200 billion into the banking system. As a result, the banks will not only have more lendable funds, but also can see a significant reduction in the cost of their funds. Yet it might be too optimistic if anyone believes that the new round of credit easing by the CBC will be able to encourage consumers to spend and businesses to invest, thereby helping to bring about a turnaround in the economy.

Monetary policy and the free-market economy An address by Donald T Brash Governor of the Reserve Bank of New Zealand to the Auckland Manufacturers' Association Auckland 22 February 1996 Background Over recent weeks there have been a number of media reports of people calling for the abolition of the Reserve Bank, or the repeal of the Reserve Bank Act, with the claim that the Bank is an anachronism in New Zealand's free-market economy, that its operations result in New Zealanders having to pay interest rates which are among the highest in the world in real terms, and that these interest rates are pushing up the exchange rate to the huge detriment of exporters and those competing with imports. There are variations around this theme, depending on who is mounting the case, but I think I accurately reflect the general case. Let me say first that I believe in the benefits conferred by the free market as strongly as anybody in this country: nobody, anywhere, has yet devised a way of organising economic activity which comes close to the free market as a way of efficiently producing the goods and services which people want. So what are the critics saying and why do I disagree with them? It is not always quite

The BoJ's February report suggests a more optimistic tone regarding the economic recovery. In his regular press conference, BoJ Governor Hayami also confirmed that the bank sees gradual signs of improvement in the economy, suggesting a steady track for the economic recovery. Of particular note is the recovery in corporate profits, which is said to be causing some companies in high-growth sectors to contemplate an increase in capital spending. The BoJ monthly report has many signs of improvement: Business fixed investment is "starting to level off" . Industrial production "continues to rise"

The Role of the Government in the Economy Monetary and Fiscal Policy American Agriculture: Its Changing Significance Labor in America: The Worker's Role ... Glossary CHAPTER 7 Monetary and Fiscal Policy The role of government in the American economy extends far beyond its activities as a regulator of specific industries. The government also manages the overall pace of economic activity, seeking to maintain high levels of employment and stable prices. It has two main tools for achieving these objectives: fiscal policy, through which it determines the appropriate level of taxes and spending; and monetary policy, through which it manages the supply of money. Much of the history of economic policy in the United States since the Great Depression of the 1930s has involved a continuing effort by the government to find a mix of fiscal and monetary policies that will allow sustained growth and stable prices. That is no easy task, and there have been notable failures along the way. But the government has gotten better at promoting sustainable growth. From 1854 through 1919, the American economy spent almost as much time contracting as it did growing: the average economic expansion (defined as an increase in output of goods and services) lasted 27 months, while the average recession (a period of declining output) lasted 22 months. From 1919 to 1945, the record improved, with the average expansion lasting 35 months and the average recession lasting 18 months. And from 1945 to 1991, things got even better, with the average expansion lasting 50 months and the average recession lasting just 11 months.
