The Monetary Policy Framework of the Eurosystem, liquidity and Collateral Management De Nederlandsche Bank Richard Derksen Conference Financial Sector of Macedonia on Payments and Securities Settlement Systems Ohrid 24 June 2008 De Nederlandsche Bank Eurosysteem
Topics Contents • The ESCB (Euro System of Central Banks) monetary policy framework • Collateral management framework • Trends in collateral: European and NL • Mobilising collateral De Nederlandsche Bank Eurosysteem
Monetary policy strategy: Ø Ø Ø Why central banks? What targets have central banks? Why to fight inflation? Monetary policy implementation: Ø How to implement these strategies? Ø Role and functions of official interest rates? Ø How can a central bank generate stable interest rate movements? De Nederlandsche Bank Eurosysteem
Monetary policy strategy: The monetary strategy determines which money market interest rate level is required to maintain price stability. Monetary policy implementation: The operational framework determines how to achieve this interest rate level using the available monetary instruments. De Nederlandsche Bank Eurosysteem
Functions of the operational framework Eurosystem sets and stabilises interest rates in the short term money market in two ways: ØSignalling its monetary policy stance to the money market ØManaging the liquidity situation in the money market De Nederlandsche Bank Eurosysteem
How to set (money market) interest rates? Step 1: determine official interest rates Step 2: make banks dependent on credit by the ECB Step 3: extend credit to banks with the appropriate interest rate Step 4: design framework to stabilise very short-term interest rates De Nederlandsche Bank Eurosysteem
Monetary policy instruments: • Minimum reserve requirements Credit extension to banks via • Open Market Operations Main refinancing operations Long-term refinancing operations Fine-tuning operations Structural operations • Standing facilities Marginal lending facility Deposit facility De Nederlandsche Bank Eurosysteem
Basic requirements for successful monetary policy implementation: ØConfidence market players ØDemand supply ØRegulatory framework Ø…… De Nederlandsche Bank Eurosysteem

Future challenges: a) the management of the volatility of short term interest rates b) determining the optimal size and composition of central bank balance sheet c) the appropriate level of communication with the financial markets d) contribute to further integration of financial markets by harmonising and expanding collateral instruments De Nederlandsche Bank Eurosysteem
Topics Contents • The ESCB (Euro System of Central Banks) monetary policy framework • Collateral management framework • Trends in collateral: European and NL • Mobilising collateral De Nederlandsche Bank Eurosysteem
Guiding Principles of the Collateral Framework • Article 18. 1 of the Statute requires all credit operations by the Eurosystem to be “based on adequate collateral”. The concept of adequacy has 2 notions: 1. Collateral must be able to protect the Eurosystem from incurring losses in its credit operations 2. There must be sufficient collateral potentially available to ensure that the Eurosystem can carry out its tasks • To reconcile both notions of “adequate collateral” may not be easy: 1. The range of assets must be broad to ensure the sufficiency of collateral 2. This may be in conflict with the desire for operational efficiency and transparency To what extent compromises on the principle of operational efficiency need to be made depends on the structure of financial markets De Nederlandsche Bank Eurosysteem
Single list of collateral l l Operational on January 1 st, 2007 Drawbacks 2 -tiers list (1999 -2006): heterogeneity and no transparency 2 asset classes: l marketable assets and l non-marketable assets (no quality difference) Marketable assets: high credit standards (single A↑), located in the euro area, denomination euro De Nederlandsche Bank Eurosysteem
Single list of collateral l Marketable assets: listed on regulated markets or certain accepted non-regulated markets Non-marketable assets: credit claims and Irish non-marketable retail mortgage backed debt instruments, no market criterion For both asset classes -> Eurosystem credit assessment framework De Nederlandsche Bank Eurosysteem
Eurosystem Credit Assessment Framework ECAF sources: l ECAI – External Credit Assessment Institutions l ICAS – NCBs in-house credit assessment systems l IRB – counterparties internal ratings-based systems l RT – third-party providers rating tools. Additionally: l PSE-list and guarantees (ECAF principles: consistency, accuracy and comparability) De Nederlandsche Bank Eurosysteem
ECAF benchmark/threshold l l ´Single A` (A-Fitch and S&P, A 3 Moody´s) Or Probability of default (PD) over a one-year horizon of 0, 10% Default definition from EU Capital Requirements Directive (CRD) De Nederlandsche Bank Eurosysteem
Valuation principles l Marketable assets l l Rules for non-availability of prices l l Define the most representative price source Treatment of income flows Non-marketable assets l Theoretical price or outstanding amount De Nederlandsche Bank Eurosysteem
Present collateral framework (NL) l l l Legal technique: pledge Pool of collateral - total market value minus haircut (+interest) = credit line - integrated use of the collateral pool on request of credit institutions like supporting services, e. g. CCP margin and guarantees for special purposes Legal setting credit claims: public pledge, physical delivery loan documentation, ex ante notification of debtor [Situation before EMU/1999: extensive collateral list: equities, private loans, loans in other currencies] De Nederlandsche Bank Eurosysteem
Stabilising features of the Eurosystem’s collateral framework Key features of the Eurosystem’s collateral framework: l l l Acceptance of a broad range of debt instruments as collateral No collateral differentiation between tender operations and standing facilities Single auction rate applicable to different types of collateral in tender operations Performance during the turmoil: l l l Sufficiency of collateral ensured, facilitating broad access to central bank money Low consumption of high opportunity cost collateral Mitigation of asset refinancing risk through large scale acceptance of ABS in the main refinancing operations De Nederlandsche Bank Eurosysteem
