Failure at the Financial Stability Board

In 2004, UNHCR maintained financial stability, although it was another challenging financial year.

UNHCR must not lose its relative financial stability.

The Financial Stability Forum, created after the Asian financial crisis as an informal coordinating body the United States resisted anything stronger was renamed the Financial Stability Board. A board sounds more impressive, authoritative, and permanent than a mere forum.

A number of indicators could be used, including financial evaluation (profitability) and non financial indicators (survival rate, stability of shareholding).

We believe that the IMF needs to move decisively on financial stability issues and be more proactive to help prevent and mitigate future crises. The IMF should work closely with the Financial Stability Forum, the Bank for International Settlements and other relevant international bodies.

In 2004, UNHCR stayed within the total financial resources available and maintained relative financial stability, helped by an unexpectedly high carry over from 2003 and careful management.

But trying to obtain stability from rigidity is illusory. The stability of the international financial system today depends on the willingness of countries with rigid exchange rates to allow greater flexibility.

Nor do large international reserves guarantee financial stability. There are better ways to enhance stability, from strengthening prudential supervision to taxing and controlling destabilizing capital flows and letting the exchange rate adjust.

Solid donor support and improved financial management had contributed to greater budgetary stability, so that the financial situation of UNHCR was better than it had been for years.

Other central banks have recognized the need for new instruments to ensure financial stability so must the BCB. Institutional clarity on the BCB s mandate for financial stability and the instruments at its disposal could help Brazil avoid future crises or at least weather them more effectively.

Here, the EU summit in December was an important step forward in terms of deepening political union and strengthening governance among the eurozone s member states. Nevertheless, more will be needed to restore financial stability, such as enlarging the total firepower of the European Financial Stability Facility.

At the same time, regulatory regimes have been toughened everywhere to prevent banks from jeopardizing the financial system again. For example, in addition to its price stability mandate, the Bank of England has been given the new task of maintaining the stability of the financial system.

It needs to rethink how to address financial stability in its day to day work with members. Financial sector analysis should become fully integrated into the IMF s surveillance activities.

The second complication is that, rather than converging, domestic models of financial regulation are multiplying, even among advanced countries with well developed institutions. Along the efficiency frontier of financial regulation, one needs to consider the tradeoff between financial innovation and financial stability.

In addition, higher degrees of macroeconomic stability in both developed and developing economies helped to limit the negative impact of global disturbances on individual countries, contributing to the observed stability of international financial markets.

The final knockout which would occur if the Financial Policy Committee (FPC) judges that the stance of monetary policy poses a significant threat to financial stability points to the third problem. The FPC is part of the complex new UK regulatory structure, in which the former Financial Services Authority has been split in two a prudential and business conduct regulator and a new body to monitor financial stability.

Today s financial market turmoil has exposed weaknesses in the current global financial system, of which many were known but went unaddressed. This lack of action reflects the increased complexity and linkages of the global financial system, and the absence of an effective anchor for financial stability.

Stability will require the accelerated disbursement of pledged financial resources, more rapid implementation of social and economic project activities, and peacebuilding initiatives.

The European Stability Mechanism, for example, is a collective project aimed at safeguarding the eurozone's financial stability, not an instrument of domination or confrontation. The ESM's resources belong to everyone, just as one country's bankruptcy affects everyone.

Groupthink can be particularly dangerous if the central bank is also the banking supervisor, as the 2008 global financial crisis demonstrated. In 2006, every central bank that published a financial stability report (in other words, most of them) concluded that their country s banking system was in fine shape well capitalized and endowed with robust governance and strong risk management.

Ultimately, this is merely a new round of the eurozone s old game of financial hide and seek, whereby losses are obscured by distributing them among different institutions and time horizons. The game started with the bailout fund for Greece, which was followed by the European Financial Stability Facility, the European Financial Stability Mechanism, and the International Monetary Fund, which in turn were relieved by the ESM.
