Brazilian Experience

• Capital inflows to Brazil before and after 2009 crisis:
different drivers, features and policy strategies
Initial Remarks
• Brazil introduced macroprudential measures to handle
intense and volatile capital inflows, mitigating stability
risks • The exit from unconventional monetary policies in
Advanced Economies (AE) – if disorderly – involves
potential risks (such as sudden stops and disruptive
capital flows) to the global economy
• Brazil is better prepared with sound economic
fundamentals, rigorous prudential regulation and a solid
financial sector

High liquidity in global markets and unprecedented low levels of interest rates in
AEs led to excessive capital flows into Emerging Economies (EMEs)

Risks of Intense and Volatile Capital Inflows
• Intense and volatile capital inflows had the
potential to threaten economic and financial
stability
- Excessive expansion of domestic credit
- Asset price distortions (excessive FX appreciation)
- Inflationary pressures
- Broaden bank exposure to FX risk
10
• Brazil introduced measures to safeguard stability
Capital Flows Management Measures
- Capital requirements on consumer loans with longer
maturities and higher LTV ratios
- Financial transaction tax on certain types of capital
inflows and on short dollar positions held in futures
markets
- Reserve requirement on banks’ short FX position in the
spot market
- FX intervention, including through FX swaps
• These measures were successful in moderating
consumer credit expansion, inhibiting riskier types
of inflows and reducing short term borrowing

• Brazil is better prepared
Unconventional Monetary Policies
- Strong international reserves position
- Rigorous prudential regulation
• Exit involves potential risks to the global economy
- Changing expectations may lead to sudden and
disruptive capital flows across financial markets and
countries (if disorderly)
- Solid financial sector, with low exposure to market
risks (interest rates and exchange rate)

Banks: Rigorous FX Exposure Regulation
• Maximum leverage ratio on FX limited to 30% of
regulatory capital (second line of defense)
• More stringent FX capital adequacy ratio (CAR)
• Reserve requirements applied to excessive short
spot FX position (discouraging excessive risk
taking)
- CAR on net open positions (100%)
- CAR on cross-border netting

Concluding Remarks
• Intense and volatile capital flows have the potential
to threaten economic and financial stability
• An orderly UMP exit is needed to mitigate potential
risks to the global economy
• Well-design macroprudential policies and sound
microprudential regulation help safeguard stability
