Macroprudential policy versus other economic policies
Eva Lorenčič, Mejra Festić, 2021, review article

Abstract: After the global financial crisis of 2007, macroprudential policy instruments have gained in recognition as a crucial tool for enhancing financial stability. Monetary policy, fiscal policy, and microprudential policy operate with a different toolkit and focus on achieving goals other than the stability of the financial system as a whole. In ligh of this, a fourth policy – namely macroprudential policy – is required to mitigate and prevent shocks that could destabilize the financial system as a whole and compromise financial stability. The aim of this paper is to contrast macroprudential policy with other economic policies and explain why other economic policies are unable to attain financial stability, which in turn justifies the need for a separate macroprudential policy, the ultimate goal whereof is precisely financial stability of the financial system as a whole. Our research results based on the descriptive research method indicate that, in order to prevent future financial crises, it is indispensable to combine both the microprudential and the macroprudential approach to financial stability. This is because the causes of the crises are often such that they cannot be prevented or mitigated by relying only on microprudential or only on macroprudential policy instruments.

The impact of seven macroprudential policy instruments on financial stability in six euro area economies
Eva Lorenčič, Mejra Festić, 2021, original scientific article

Abstract: The aim of this paper is to investigate whether macroprudential policy instruments can influence the credit growth rate and hence financial stability. We use a fixed effects panel regression model to test the following hypothesis for six euro area economies (Austria, Finland, Germany, Italy, Netherlands and Spain) during time span 2010 Q3 to 2018 Q4: “Macroprudential policy instruments (degree of maturity mismatch; interbank loans as a percentage of total loans; leverage ratio; non-deposit funding as a percentage of total funding; loan-to-value ratio; loan-to-deposit ratio; solvency ratio) enhance financial stability, as measured by credit growth”. Our empirical results suggest that the degree of maturity mismatch, non-deposit funding as a percentage of total funding, loan-to-value ratio and loan-to-deposit ratio exhibit the predicted impact on the credit growth rate and therefore on financial stability. On the other hand, interbank loans as a percentage of total loans, leverage ratio, and solvency ratio do not exhibit the expected impact on the response variable. Since only four regressors (out of seven) have the signs predicted by our hypothesis, we can only partly confirm it.

The impact of macroprudential policy on credit growth in nine euro area economies
Eva Lorenčič, Robert Volčjak, Mejra Festić, 2023, original scientific article

Abstract: In this paper, we investigate the impact of macroprudential policy measures (bundled together into a macroprudential policy index, MPI) on the nonfinancial corporate sector credit and household credit growth using a one-step system GMM empirical research method. The goal of our paper is to test whether contractionary macroprudential policy stymies credit growth rate and whether expansionary macroprudential policy spurs credit growth rate in selected Euro Area economies (Austria, Belgium, Finland, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Netherlands, Slovenia, and Spain) over the period 2008Q4–2018Q4. We test two hypotheses: H1: The tightening of macroprudential policy measures reduces the non-financial corporate sector credit growth rate, and H2: The tightening of macroprudential policy measures reduces the growth rate of household credit. Based on our empirical results, we can confirm the first hypothesis. In contrast, the second hypothesis can be neither confirmed nor rejected since the explanatory variable of interest (MPI) is statistically insignificant in the second model.

The Impact of Macroprudential Policy Instruments on Financial Stability
Eva Lorenčič, 2021, doctoral dissertation

Abstract: This doctoral dissertation represents a comprehensive treatment of the many facets of macroprudential policy. We start by delving into the notions of macroprudential policy, systemic risk and financial stability, describe the macroprudential policy transmission mechanism, systemic financial crises and contagion channels, as well as the Modigliani-Miller theorem and its violations. We proceed by illustrating a multitude of available macroprudential policy instruments, attempt to clarify whether capital controls can be considered a macroprudential policy instrument, describe the use and calibration of macroprudential policy instruments, and elaborate on the changes to the EU macroprudential policy framework after the enactment of the Capital Requirements Regulation II and Capital Requirements Directive V. Next, we describe interactions between macroprudential policy and other policies, in particular microprudential, monetary, fiscal and structural policies. We attempt to answer the question of whether macroprudential policy should be entrusted to a central bank, a financial supervisory authority, or the government. Furthermore, we investigate whether countries should reciprocate each other’s macroprudential policy stance. Moreover, we review the existing research regarding the impact of macroprudential policy instruments on financial stability. We attempt to answer the question of whether the existence of a macroprudential policy framework could have prevented the Global Financial Crisis of 2007. Last but not least, we conduct our own empirical assessment of the impact of macroprudential policy instruments on financial stability in six euro area countries (Belgium, Cyprus, Germany, Spain, Ireland and Netherlands) over sixteen quarters (from 2015 Q1 (inclusive) to 2018 Q4 (inclusive)) by using the quantitative research method of panel econometrics. We tested three hypotheses: H1: Macroprudential policy instruments (common equity tier 1 ratio; loans to deposits ratio; non-deposit funding as percentage of total funding; leverage ratio; interconnectedness ratio; and coverage ratio for non-performing exposures) enhance financial stability, as measured by credit growth. H2: Macroprudential policy instruments (common equity tier 1 ratio; loans to deposits ratio; non-deposit funding as percentage of total funding; leverage ratio; interconnectedness ratio; and coverage ratio for non-performing exposures) enhance financial stability, as measured by house price growth. H3: Macroprudential policy instruments (common equity tier 1 ratio; loans to deposits ratio; non-deposit funding as percentage of total funding; leverage ratio; interconnectedness ratio; and coverage ratio for non-performing exposures) reduce cyclical fluctuations of the economy, as measured by the amplitude of the deviations of the actual economic growth rate from its long-run trend, thereby contributing to financial stability. Our empirical results suggest that, of the investigated macroprudential policy instruments, common equity tier one ratio, coverage ratio, and interconnectedness ratio exhibit the predicted impact on credit growth rate and on the deviation of the actual economic growth rate from its long-run trend. Furthermore, common equity tier one ratio, loans to deposits ratio, and leverage ratio exhibit the predicted impact on house price growth rate. The non-deposit funding ratio does not exhibit the expected impact on any of the response variables. Hence, we can only partly confirm hypotheses 1, 2 and 3. Our conclusions are in line with contemporary research on macroprudential policy. Taking into account the existing empirical research, combined with our findings as presented in this dissertation, a case can be made for the usage of carefully crafted macroprudential policy instruments which target selected financial and macroeconomic variables with the ultimate goal of attaining financial stability of the financial system as a whole.
