The Impact

Global financial crisis which began in the US in the latter part of 2008 hit a lot of countries in both trade and finance. In trade aspect, the crisis spread widely; in Indonesia, the total export value in 2009 dropped to 14,3%. Therefore, the economy of China, tightly linked with Asian countries including Indonesia, which rapidly rose before the crisis but slowed after it should be monitored as this condition, could indirectly hold down Indonesia’s GDP. Applying RAS method to update Asian IO data, this research has attempted to describe the trade structure of Asian countries in 2010. Also, it implemented a simulation of the impact of US and China’s GDP decline and US exports on Indonesia’s GDP, both at aggregate and sector levels. The result of the mapping shows that Indonesia is getting more dependent on China. Generally, the link between Indonesia’s exported products and global production chain is weak. Indonesia’s export commodities which are mostly of intermediate goods have low contribution towards value added. Moreover, the result of the simulation shows that 1% decrease in China’s GDP has greater impact on Indonesia’s GDP (0,14%) than that of the US (0,05%) and EU (0,07%) though with similar point.  Keyword: Trade Interactions, Input Output Model JEL Classification : F16, R15

The study presents the impact of monetary-fiscal policy mix on economic growth, mainly for the investments of euro area in financial crisis. Fiscal policy and monetary policy play an important role in the economy, influencing each other and on a number of economic variables as well. In the face of the recent financial crisis, which turned into a debt crisis, fiscal and monetary authorities have been working together to revive economic activity. There was a significant economic impact on the level of government investments. The central bank kept interest rates at very low levels and used nonstandard instruments of monetary policy. Fiscal authorities have increased government spending to stimulate investment and economic recovery. The paper concludes that the management of the fiscal and monetary authorities in a crisis situation has been modified compared to the period before the crisis, when the coordination of these policies was clearly weaker.

The Impact

During the global financial crisis, central banks around the globe implemented a series of unconventional monetary policy measures such as quantitative easing among others to avert the impact of financial crisis on financial system. There exist numerous studies on this area of interest, with each guided by a specific view of the problem and selectively chosen empirical observations with regard to the different developments. This paper reviewed literature to ascertain the effectiveness of conventional monetary policy measures and unconventional monetary measures used in mitigating the impact of the 2007/2008 global financial crisis, specifically by the major central banks including the Federal Reserve, European Central Bank and Bank of England. The study used systematic quantitative assessment technique (SQAT) to determine a high quality of papers that have been reviewed in the study. The result proved that conventional monetary policy measures are still potent to deliver their desired objectives but inadequate in times of acute crisis. Empirical evidences proved that central banks have not practically abandoned the core elements of their pre-crisis monetary policy. Through a complex form of strengthening and reassessment, they have instead complimented, extended and somewhat improved their measures to mitigate the impact of the financial crisis. An important lesson of the crisis is that there is opportunity to reinforce central banks with macro prudential supervision and regulation. This should be seen as complementary to the existing monetary policy measure in order to deliver the twin objectives of price and financial stability.

The Impact

We have empirically examined the role of monetary aggregate(s) vis-à-vis short-term interest rate as monetary policy instruments, and the impact of State Bank of Pakistan’s transformation into the latter on their relative effectiveness in terms of inflation in Pakistan. Using indicators of ‘persistent changes’ in the underlying behaviours of variables of interest, we found that broad money consistently explains inflation in (i) monetary (ii) transitory and (iii) interest rate regimes. Though its role has receded while moving from the transition to the interest rate regime, the interest rate instrument seems to be positively related to inflation, a phenomenon commonly known as price puzzle. In light of these findings, we recommend that the role of money should not be completely de-emphasised. JEL Classification: E31, E52.
