The RBNZ and IJCB conference“Reflections on 25 years of Inflation Targeting”

Wellington, New Zealand, December 1-2, 2014

Forward guidance

2

Outline

Forward guidance as special or normal policy? The Swedish experience of publishing a policy-rate

path: Success and dramatic failure The broader picture of Riksbank monetary policy The New Zealand experience of publishing an

interest-rate path: Less dramatic, monetary policy better focused

Conclusions

3

Forward guidance: Special or normal?

Some info about future policy settings• Policy rate, other policy instruments (balance sheet)

Recently: Fed, BoC, ECB, BoE• Special: Binding Effective Lower Bound• Implementing more expansionary monetary policy

4

Forward guidance: Special or normal?

For many years: RBNZ, Norges Bank, Sveriges Riksbank, Czech NB• Normal: Published forecast of interest rate (policy rate or

90-day path)• RBNZ 1997-, NB 2005-, SR 2007-, CNB 2008-

Integral part of flexible inflation targeting• Stabilize inflation around announced inflation target and

resource utilization around long-run sustainable rate• Forecast targeting: Set policy rate and policy-rate path such

that forecasts for inflation and resource utilization “look good”

5

Forward guidance in form of published policy rate path: Reasons for normal?

1. Transparency: Coherent CB forecast of target variables requires CB forecast of instrument. Then publish this.

2. Effectiveness: Management of expectations (of the future policy rate)

3. Informativeness: Central bank should have more info about its future policy settings. Should be useful info for private sector and other authorities

4. Justification: Provides a coherent way of justifying policy choice by comparison with policy alternatives

5. Accountability: Simplifies external evaluation of policy by comparison with policy alternatives and assessments of tradeoffs between target variables

6

Developments of forward guidance as something normal

Forecasts of target variables conditional on:

1. Constant policy rate• If inflation forecast above (below) target, increase (reduce) policy

rate • Inconsistencies, not credible (Leitemo, Woodford)

2. Market expectations of policy rate: “market policy-rate path”

• CB forecasts of target variables may not “look good”• CB policy-rate path may differ from market path

3. Central-bank forecast of policy rate: “CB policy-rate path”

• Consistent (inconsistent) if market path equal (differ) from CB path

7

The Swedish experience of publishing a policy-rate path

Previously discussed by Svensson (2009, 2010) and Woodford (2012, 2013)

Success and failures Evaluate according to

(1) Predictability: Market forward rates predict policy-rate path

(2) Credibility: Market forward rates in line with (adjust towards) policy-rate path (successful management of expectations)

Distinguish “actual” and “intended” monetary policy A “credible “ policy-rate path may not necessarily be

“appropriate” Success: February 2009 Failure: September 2011

12

The Swedish experience

What was behind the discrepancy between Riksbank and market policy-rate paths in September 2011?

What was the broader picture of Riksbank policy?

13

Behind the discrepancy: Another discrepancy for foreign policy rates

September 2011: Riksbank forecast of foreign policy rates much above market expectations of foreign policy rate

14

Behind the discrepancy: Yield curves

1.7 pp

15

Behind the discrepancy: Another discrepancy for foreign policy rates

A lower Riksbank forecast for foreign policy rates would have implied a lower policy-rate path• With unchanged policy-rate path, a forecast of stronger

krona, the inflation forecast would have shifted down and the unemployment forecast would have shifted up

High forecast of foreign policy rates served to shift inflation forecast up and unemployment forecast down, supporting high policy-rate forecast

Resulted in Riksbank inflation forecasts biased upwards

16

Riksbank CPI inflation forecasts 2011 and 2012 and outcome

17

Actual yield curve implied much easier policy than intended

Market did not believe Riksbank policy-rate path Market possibly understood that it would lead to too

strong a krona, which would have forced the Riksbank to back down (this confirmed by informal discussions with market participants)

“Actual” MP much easier than “intended” “Intended” MP would have implied 5-year bond rate

1.7 pp higher Good for the economy that the RB policy-rate path

was not credible

18

The broader picture: CPI inflation 1995-2014 on average below target

19

Average inflation expectations close to target 1997-2011:Average inflation below average inflation expectations

To New Zealand

20

Average unemployment 1997-2011 about 0.8 pp higher than if inflation had been on target

Svensson (2015), “The Possible Unemployment Cost of Average Inflation Below a Credible Target,” American Economic Journal: Macroeconomics 2015(1).

0.8 pp

21

Why the tightening in June/July 2010? Leaning against the wind because of concerns about household debt and

housing prices Not clearly explained June/July 2010: “Another factor [in relation to the policy-rate increase] is that household

indebtedness has increased significantly in recent years” (June/July 2010 press release)

“[A]n interest rate increase was also a signal to avoid new financial imbalances from building up and that household indebtedness ought not to rise too much” (Governor Ingves, in June/July 2010 minutes)

Sending a signal to households that mortgage rates would soon return to normal

Tradeoff w/ inflation and unemployment not admitted until op-ed by Governor Ingves in October 2012

22

Riksbank and Fed forecasts quite similar Policies very different

• Fed: Keep policy rate between 0 and 0.25%, forward guidance, prepare QE2

• Riksbank: Start raising the policy rate from 0.25 to 2% in July 2011

Riksbank: Ex ante clearly a premature tightening

Ex ante: Riksbank and Fed forecasts June 2010

28

Riksbank’s case for leaning against the wind

Higher debt could imply (1) a higher probability of a future crisis, or (2) a deeper future crisis if it occurs

Hence, a tradeoff between (a) tighter policy now with lower debt but worse macro outcome now and (b) easier policy now with more debt but worse expected future macro outcome

Worse outcome now is an insurance premium worth paying Is that true? The answer can be found in the Riksbank’s own boxes in MPR

of July 2013 and February 2014, plus Schularick and Taylor (2012) and Flodén (2014)

This involves putting numbers on the cost and benefit of leaning

29

Cost of 1 pp higher policy rate: 0.5 pp higher unemployment rate

Source: MPR July 2013, chapt. 2; Svensson, post onlarseosvensson.se, March 31, 2014.

30

Benefit (1) of 1 pp higher policy rate: Lower probability of a crisis

1 pp higher policy rate leads to 0.25 % lower real debt in 5 years

Lowers probability of crises by 0.25*0.4/5 = 0.02 pp

Assume 5 pp higher unemployment in crisis (Riksbank crisis scenario, MPR July 2013, box)

Benefit (1): Expected lower future unemployment:0.0002*5 = 0.001 pp

Cost: Higher unemployment rate now: 0.5 pp

Schularick & Taylor (2012): 5 % lower real debt in 5 yrs implies 0.4 pp lower probability of crisis (average probability of crises about 4 %)

Riksbank, MPR Feb 2014, box:

Source: Svensson, post on larseosvensson.se, March 31, 2014.

31

Benefit (2) of 1 pp higher policy rate: Smaller increase in unemployment if crisis

1 pp higher policy rate leads to 0.44 pp lower debt ratio in 5 yrs

Smaller increase in unemployment in crisis:0.44*0.02 = 0.009 pp

With probability of crisis as high as 10 %, divide by 10 (Shularick & Taylor: 4 %)

Benefit (2): Expected lower future unemployment: 0.0009 pp

Cost: Higher unemployment now: 0.5 pp

Flodén (2014): 1 pp lower debt ratio may imply 0.02 pp smaller increase in unemployment rate in crisis

Summarize cost and benefit of 1 pp higher policy rate

Riksbank’s case does not stand up to scrutiny

Should have been > 1!

33

The New Zealand experience of publishing an interest-rate path

Longest experience, starting in June 1997 Previously examined by Archer (2005), Moessner and

Nelson (2008), Anderson and Hofman (2009), Detmers and Nautz (2012), Bergstrom and Karagedikli (2013)

Less dramatic than the Swedish experience RBNZ monetary policy better focused

Conclusions Swedish experience much more dramatic, and special Leaning against the wind: A high policy-rate path got priority

over inflation and resource utilization Case of “wag the dog” New Zealand experience much less dramatic Policy better focused on traditional goals A few cases of actual policy tighter/easier than intended Market sometimes ahead of RBNZ Sometimes problems with transparency, effectiveness,

informativeness, justification, and accountability Keep publishing policy-rate paths
