The Impact

The article is devoted to the analysis of the essence, specifics of use and the main trends of the discount rate of the National Bank of Ukraine as an effective and one of the most important instruments of the state monetary policy. An assessment of the NBU’s discount rate dynamics over the past 15 years allows us to build a holistic picture of monetary regulation of economic cycles in Ukraine. Furthermore, particular attention is paid to the study of the Ukrainian economy’s specific conditions, which influenced the change in the discount rate, and of the macroeconomic goals, the achievement of which was planned by the NBU. Additionally, the article profoundly analyzes the relationship between the discount rate and the inflation intensity. It is observed that the discount rate increases with increasing inflation, as the higher discount rate has a deterrent effect on inflation processes. The article also shows how the level of the discount rate depends on the level of economic activity, which is characterized by GDP. Taking into consideration the specific economy conditions and strategic goals set during the NBU's monetary policy implementation, it becomes obvious that raising the discount rate suspends the economic activity of counterparties, while reducing it stimulates economic development. Based on statistical data of 2006-2020, the impact of the discount rate on the volume of attracted deposits and loans provided by the Ukrainian banking sector is confirmed. Moreover, it is found that in the period of economic instability, when the discount rate rises, the volume of loan and deposit portfolios of domestic banks is significantly reduced. To sum up, forecast judgments on the further dynamics of the NBU’s discount rate in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic are made and the validity of the current discount rate on compliance with the needs and state of the Ukrainian economy is characterized.

Food security is central to the state's economic security system and is an important component of its sovereignty. Attracting financial resources by agricultural producers on favorable terms has a direct impact on improving agricultural infrastructure, product quality management systems, modernization of means of production, etc., which contributes to food security in terms of its main components: food availability and food security. At the same time, cheaper consumer loans for the population can strengthen an equally important element of food security – the affordability of food. The object of the study is the processes of food security regulation of the country due to changes in the discount rate of the National Bank. The subject of the study is a set of theoretical, methodical and practical aspects of the monetary policy of the National Bank of Ukraine and their impact on the formation of food security. The purpose of the article is a comprehensive analysis and assessment of the impact of monetary policy of the National Bank of Ukraine, which is recently reflected in lowering the discount rate on food security, which is expressed in the availability of credit resources to meet consumer demand and modernize agricultural enterprises. The analysis of the discount rate and interest rates for loans on different periods, which were given to the enterprises of Ukraine, was performed. The authors propose to improve the financial component of the integrated food security mechanism, which aims to ensure the use of economic levers and create conditions for attracting financial resources for the functioning of the food security system by forming a system of multi-channel financing.

Introduction. The effective functioning of the banking system determines the stability of the monetary market in the country. Stability and transparency of functioning and effective management are a guarantee of growth of deposits and attractiveness for investors. However, in recent years, the Ukrainian banking system is in a state of recession and does not fulfil the functions assigned to it. This led to the need for a so-called “purge” of the banking system and led to significant losses for both banks and for all the country’s economists. The instability that resulted from the crisis has caused even more distrust from people to banks. The main problems of the banking system of Ukraine in recent years is the curtailment of lending, a significant deterioration in the quality of loan portfolios, the reduction of its own capital and loss-making activity. Purpose. There is an analysis of the current post-crisis situation and expectations of changes in the development of the banking system of Ukraine in accordance with the new monetary policy paradigm. Results. The last economic crisis (2014–2015) is not generated by the banking system itself, but rather by economical quality. The policy of the Government and the monetary policy of the National Bank of Ukraine. Ukrainian banks are heavy and burdened with a large share of unprofitable loans, and the banking system itself is highly concentrated but not sufficiently consolidated. At the beginning of the crisis, the state of the banking sector was characterized by fictitious capitalization of banks, the involvement of the business of its shareholders, the with drawal of regulator refinancing, huge volumes of “garbage” securities in bank portfolios, etc. The National Bank of Ukraine has resorted to a “purge” of the banking system, in which the subjectivity and opacity appeared. The whole burden of reimbursing the costs associated with the withdrawal from the market of bankrupt banks took upon itself the fund for guaranteeing deposits of individuals. The influence of state banks on the general state of banking sector reform and ways to improve corporate governance in state banks is shown. The so-called defibrillators of changes which are expected in the near future in development of the banking system of Ukraine are defined. Conclusions. At present, the banking system of Ukraine demonstrates the following key trends: the end of the “bankruptcy” period; the problem of improvement of loan portfolios and optimization of operations with the bonds of an internal state loan is acute; the need for a substantial reduction of state participation in the banking system.

Method Of Correlation

In the context of globalization and regionalization, central banks pursuing monetary policy in the country at the same time become subjects of monetary regulation within the framework of the integrational associations of which they are members. The purpose of the article is to assess the impact of monetary policy on investment and economic growth in integration unions and determine the appropriateness of their coordination. To achieve the goal, a method of correlation-regression analysis is proposed, one which allows for the identifying and assessing of the degree of influence of certain directions of monetary policy of the countries of the integration association on the indicators of investment and economic growth. As a result of the analysis, the expediency of coordination and implementation of a coordinated policy of central banks to stimulate the deposit and credit policy of commercial banks was proved, which positively affects the characteristics of supply and demand in the integrated investment market. The assessment of the directions of the coordination of monetary investments regulation was carried out on the example of an integration association - the Union of Belarus and Russia and can be extended to other integration associations with the participation of Belarus, in particular, to the monetary interaction of countries within the Eurasian Economic Union. The analysis is based on the statistical data of the National Statistical Committee and the National Bank of the Republic Belarus, the EAEU Department of Statistics, as well as statistical information from the Central Bank of Russia and the Union of Russia and Belarus.

Abstract I find that shadow bank money creation significantly expands during monetary-tightening cycles. This “shadow banking channel” offsets reductions in commercial bank deposits and dampens the impact of monetary policy. Using a structural model of bank competition, I show that the difference in depositor clienteles quantitatively explains banks’ different responses to monetary policy. Facing a more yield-sensitive clientele, shadow banks are more likely to pass through rate hikes to depositors, thereby attracting more deposits when the Federal Reserve raises rates. My results suggest that monetary tightening could unintentionally increase financial fragility by driving deposits into the uninsured shadow banking sector.

The Sacrifice

Abstract This study introduces some aspects regarding the link between monetary policy and economic growth, through a rule well known in the literature which is named Taylor’s rule and through the concept of sacrifice ratio which encompasses the impact of the cost of disinflation on the economic growth of a country. In this paper, we rely on estimates of the growth of potential GDP of the National Bank of Romania for the period 2003-2006 while for the period 2007-2012 we rely on the estimates reported by the International Monetary Fund. Thus, we carry a deterministic exercise for computing the interest rate on the period 2003-2012 as depicted from the Taylor’s rule and we compare it with the effective monetary policy interest rate used by the National Bank of Romania. In the same time, we calculate the sacrifice ratio for the period 1997-2013 so as to be able to form an opinion regarding the cost of disinflation and its comparison with the typical estimates for larger time spans and for other countries.
