Dear maria, We just published a new blog—please find the full text below.  Emerging-Market Central Bank Asset Purchases Can Be Effective but Carry Risks By Tobias Adrian, Christopher Erceg, Simon Gray, and Ratna Sahay Asset purchases can be an effective tool, but it is critical to minimize risks to central bank independence and price stability. Over the past couple of decades, central banks in emerging markets have made substantial progress in developing the credibility to conduct countercyclical monetary policy. During the COVID crisis, many of these central banks not only cut interest rates sharply, but also deployed a range of tools to help restore market functioning, including asset purchases. And, while some of these central banks now consider moves to tighter monetary policy stances, the likely use of these policy tools again in the future merits a closer look. In previous years, it would have been mainly advanced economy central banks making purchases of government debt. However, for the first time on a significant scale, central banks in countries such as South Africa, Poland, and Thailand broke new ground through their use of asset purchases to combat market dysfunction. While their actions were successful in reducing market stresses, policymakers in these and other emerging market and developing economies need to examine other important considerations as they chart a course forward.
