Lihaa luiden ympärille!

Lihaa luiden ympärille! Seurattuani pari päivää Jussi Ahokkaan ja Juhana Siljanderin mielenkiintoista keskustelua twitterissä, innostuin piirtämään hommaa omasta perspektiivistäni auki. Liittyy mm. seuraavaan twitter-ketjuun:

Punaisella loppusaldojen muutokset.

T=0. Lähtötilanne, meillä on keskuspankki, pankki A, valtio ja yritys. Taseiden summa 200$. 


T= 1. Valtio liikkeellelaskee 100$ velkaa, yksityinen sektori lainottaa (pankki A ja yritys). Valtio saa 100$ pankkitalletuksia tililleen pankissa A. Taseiden summa 350$. 


T=2. Valtio kuluttaa 100$ yritykseltä tilattuun rakennusprojektiin. G: +100$ Taseiden summa 450$.


T=3. Keskuspankki aloittaa QE-ohjelman ja ostaa valtionvelkakirjat pankilta ja yritykseltä. Pankki saa 100$ reservejä ja yritys 50$ lisää talletuksia. Huomataan, että pankilta ostettaessa, kyseessä oli vain "asset swappi", mutta yritykseltä ostettaessa pankkitalletusten määrä myös kasvoi. Taseiden summa 600$.


T=4. Keskuspankki rahoittaa suoraan valtionvelan liikkeellelaskun. Valtio liikkeellelaskee 50$ arvoisen 10v velkakirjan, jonka KP ostaa. Valtion KP-tilile 50$ (voisi myös maksaa valtion tilille pankki A:ssa, mutta vähän vaihtelua!). Taseiden summa 700$. 


T=5. Valtio ostaa 50$ lisää rakennusprojektia yritykseltä. 50$ reservejä siirtyy pankki A:han ja 50$ talletuksia yrityksen talletustilille. G: +50$. Taseiden summa 800$.


T=6. Yritys maksaa laskut (työpanos) Reiskan tilille pankki B:ssä. Pankki A siirtää 150$ reservejä pankki B:hen ja pankki B lisää Reiskan tilisaldoon 150$. Taseiden summa 800$. 


Jospa näistä keskusteluun apuja!

Muokkaan tästä ehkä myöhemmin virallisen blogikirjoituksen, jos jaksan.

Explaining "Not-QE"

Image
A summary of this post can be found here . As there has been a constant debate about what to make of the latest interventions by the Federal Reserve (FED), whether we can call it QE or "Not-QE",  I thought it could be appropriate to try to explain, why we can technically argue that this is not a QE . To understand this, it is essential not only to understand what the FED or any other Central Bank does but to understand how monetary policy is implemented and how it has evolved since the Global Financial Crisis (GFC) Many may know that the FED tries to control short-term rates (important emphasis on SHORT-TERM rates) by setting a Federal Funds Target Rate . The federal funds market is an interbank market where banks and other institutions trade federal funds (bank reserves) on unsecured (no collateral pledged) basis. It is important to note, that the FED only sets a target rate or a target range  and the actual prevailing rate is the weighted average of unsecured loa

On Helicopter Money

Image
As current emergency times call for serious action from monetary and fiscal authorities alike, a famous topic to pop up in these discussions is "cash handouts" for the people financed by central bank money creation, or more familiarly, helicopter money. Here, I will try to elaborate on why helicopter money may turn out to be a policy that will backfire into a constant need of covering ECB losses, or more gloomily, a refinancing "death-loop" that could wreak havoc throughout the whole monetary system as it is currently functioning. As a case example, and maybe here as the "most likely" one that will have to rely on some sort of helicopter drops, I will be using the European Central Bank (ECB). In a fiat monetary policy framework, short-term interest rates are either controlled mainly through reserve scarcity (a corridor system) or when reserves are abundant, through deposit rates (a floor system). Currently, the monetary policy implementation method used

Why Central Bank balance sheet expansion during COVID19 is not pumping asset prices

Image
As there still seems to be major confusions regarding central bank actions and what it means for the financial markets in general, I decided to try "one last time" to explain in maybe one of my most detailed posts on how different balance sheets across sectors of financial markets react to central bank policy and how financial markets are supposed to work in "normal times". The essential message of this post is the same as that of my previous short post on covid crisis , but this time with more rigorous technical exposition. As I have explained here in detail, the monetary policy implementation method since the Global Financial Crisis (GFC) is a so-called "floor system", where in theory, the interest rate on excess reserves (IOER) works as a lower bound for short term interest rates in the economy. In short, this is because the reserve supply greatly exceeds that of which there is demand for in the banking system as a whole, thus, in theory, the comp
