Normal” Environment

Outline: Financial Stability & Systemic Risk in Brazil

1. What is the IMF-FSAP 2012 exercise saying?

2. What is the BCB’s Regulation/Supervision doing?

3. Can we (should we?) “Target” Financial Stability

using a synthetic indicator of FSSR?

4. Financial Stability in a “New Normal” environment

with Sudden Stops and Floods

5. Conclusions

IMF financial system assessment (Brazil 2012 FSAP)

• Brazil’s financial system has grown a lot since last exercise (2002)

• In size, strength, diversification and sophistication

• Financial system solid in main dimensions

• Capital requirements, profitability, loan loss provisions and liquidity

• Financial system resilient

• Stress tests: resiliency to extreme shocks, including to severe global

recession

• Limited exposure to external risks

• Low bank foreign exposure in assets and funding, conservative prudential

regulation, sudsidiarization approach to foreign capital banks

• Strong, sophisticated and intrusive bank supervision

• Adequate tools for prevention and intervention

• Brazilian supervision was one of the best evaluated among G20 countries

• SPB adopts best international practices

• Allows constant monitoring of SFN and its risks

• Macroeconomic stress: the system (thru its provisions &

capital) would be able to absorb the deterioration of the

main macroeconomic indicators.

• Sensitivity analysis: for 3 major risks (credit, foreign

exchange and interest rate), the analysis shows that there

would be NO cases of insolvency, even in situations of

extreme volatility.

• Direct contagion: the failure of any individual bank does

not lead to widespread failure of other banks, indicating low

direct contagion.

Direct Contagion and Network Analysis

Credit risk exposures between economic-financial conglomerates’

counterparties.

Real Network

Not limited to interbank deposits and not an estimation Network

Test covers: Time deposits, loans, debentures, swaps, exchange rate

operations mismatches, options, credit cessions with recourse

negotiated between financial institutions, repos under which collateral

is delivered by a company of the conglomerate.

Simulation:

Take off one bank (or a set of banks) and see what happens to the

system (domino effect = direct contagion).

In the worst case, if one of the (5) large big bank crashes, it would cause 25 banks failures (out of over 2000 banks) by contagion. But those 25 banks represent 0.7% of system assets. Why is direction contagion so limited? – Large capital buffers above Minimum Regulatory C -Regulatory limits – direct exposure limited to 25% of Regulatory Capital. -Interbank market characteristics: about 93% of the market transactions are collaterized.

The 25 more connected institutions provide over 90% of total transfers supporting the hypothesis that Brazilian banking system interconnectedness has a fat tail distribution: few institutions are highly connected (exposures are collateralized) and, thus, are key in the interbank exposure network

Interconnectedness diagrams of the Brazilian banks (2011Q4) 25 institutions (R$ 2.802 trillion)

The degree of interconnectedness of the whole system can be summarized by an index () proportional to the size of the left tail of the distribution of interconnectedness across financial institutions. When () increases there are more highly connected institutions, indicating that the net is more concentrated (and thus the systemic risk has increased, since an institution highly connected impacts several other institutions in the case of a default).

Anchoring Expectations using one indicator?

Monitoring several indicators is important and provides early

warning signals of the many dimensions of F(I)S & SR.

What about using a single synthetic indicator? Can a FSSR

Framework (with its FS Committee) mimic the IT Framework

(and its MPC)? Would it improve coordination /

complementarity between Macroprudential Policies (MaP) and

Monetary Policy (MP) to ensure both FS and macro stability?

We group into one 3 CGFS indicators of vulnerability: (i)

leverage and credit (proxy Credit-to-GDP gap); (ii) liquidity and

funding (proxy Loan-to-deposit); (iii) resilience of the market

structure (proxy interconnectedness index ()). Many other

possibilities / combinations are open for testing

Equilibrium of Synthetic Indicator S2 for FS

Potential Growth Rate for Credit: obtained from general equilibrium

exercise/model or from data filtering (HP, etc.)

The “equilibrium” credit growth is the potential credit growth which is

compatible with a null synthetic indicator S2. In other words, the

“equilibrium” is defined as the credit growth rate which is compatible with

(1) a zero credit-to-GDP gap, (2) a loan-to-deposit ratio equal to one, and

(3) an interconnectedness index equal to its unconditional mean.

The synthetic indicator S2 can provide an important piece of information for a policy-

maker that is the probability of a financial stability disruption at a given time period.

Using the synthetic indicator S2: conditional model using the individual risk factors

(leverage, liquidity and interconnectedness) as covariates, and estimate using quantile

regression (QR) to generate conditional density functions and, therefore, calculate the

probability of a disruption.

QR model: S2t = 0(t) + 1(t)*leveraget + 2(t)*liquidityt + 3(t)*interconnectednesst +

b(t)*xt for a grid of selected quantiles t[0;1].

Control variables (xt) considered in the model: real GDP growth rate, non-performing

loans to total gross loans, and international reserves to short-term external debt ratio.

Then, the estimated conditional quantiles are mapped into the zero-one interval (i.e.,

logit-transformed) and the respective probability density functions (PDF) are estimated

for selected quarters via Epanechnikov kernel

The probability of disruption is computed (for each period) by identifying the

respective quantile which corresponds to a selected threshold value.

For example, we define the probability of a financial stability “disruption” as

the probability of the (logit-transformed) synthetic indicator S2 surpassing (in

each period) the threshold level d = 0.80 (or, alternatively, d =0.85, provided

that S2[0;1])

The early identification of

specific (projected) points

in time where the

probability of disruption

rises above a tolerance

threshold would be an

indication for the

Financial Stability

Committee of a threat to

financial stability,

suggesting the need for

policy action including

through macroprudential

(new) rules and the

strengthening of

regulations.

5. Conclusions

Page 61: Financial Stability & Systemic Risk in Brazil · Financial Supervision: monitors systemic risk •Monitoring FSSR thru several indicators of the Financial System: capital, credit,

61

FSSR requires data, framework, monitoring procedures

tools (MaP) and institutional arrangements for

Supervision, etc.)

Turning MaP operational is a major policy challenge,

especially now in the “New Normal”

When and how should MaP be activated? As required by

each indicator of SR? In a coordinated way with other

policies? Complementing other (e.g., monetary) policies?

If MaP operate in an IT framework context, how should

changes be announced? Communicating with a synthetic

index of FSSR conditions might help? If so which one?
