Dear MARIA, We just published a new blog—please find the full text below.  When Foreign Exchange Intervention Can Best Help Countries Navigate Shocks (Credit: malija/iStock by Getty Images) By Suman Basu, Sonali Das, Olamide Harrison, and Erlend Nier With major central banks now cutting policy rates, the global interest rate cycle is turning. This shows how far the fight against inflation has come in many advanced economies. But with economic uncertainty still high, it also raises concerns over possible spillovers. Lower policy rates could spur capital flows as investors search for yield. And such flows can reverse sharply when adverse shocks lead to renewed tightening of financial conditions. To safeguard their economic and financial stability, our Integrated Policy Framework can help calibrate the best possible policy mix in the face of such volatility. In a more shock-prone world, policymakers must be even more agile in using tools that are well-calibrated and suited to specific circumstances. Our framework shows that, in the absence of market frictions, monetary and fiscal policies are often enough to address the impact of external shocks. But it also shows how employing additional tools can be helpful under certain circumstances. For example, should rapid capital outflows cripple crucial funding markets and cause a sharp drop in the exchange rate, a central bank can sell foreign exchange reserves, or lend them out, to stabilize markets and safeguard financial stability. Foreign exchange intervention, however, can come with costs and involve important trade-offs. Intervening too often can lead to complacency about growing exposure to exchange-rate moves. And it should not be used as a guise to gain unfair competitive trade advantages. Our principles for foreign exchange intervention, or FXI, detail when it may help countries with floating exchange rates—in other words where the exchange rate is otherwise predominantly determined by the market. They also highlight when intervention isn’t well-advised.
