In 2022, as I was tucking my then 7-year-old son into bed he said to me in a sleepy haze
"Dad, global warming is bad. What are we going to do?"
Thisβfrom out of the blue ROCKED me
I've spent the last several years searching for an answer
Let me tell you about that journey & where I've landed

Emerging markets with partially dollarised financial systems are particularly vulnerable to global financial cycles. This column examines how reserve requirements on foreign currency deposits can help mitigate credit booms induced by capital inflows. Focusing on Peru between 2008 and 2017, the authors combine microdata with a calibrated macro model to show that foreign currency reserve requirements reduce aggregate credit growth, with heterogeneous effects across banks depending on their exposure to foreign funding. These results underscore the value (and complexity) of macroprudential regulation in dollarised economies.
Foreign currency reserve requirements can be an effective tool to moderate aggregate credit growth in the face of capital inflows. In partially dollarised economies, asymmetries across banks make design of #macroprudential policy more complex.
