IMF backs unconventional monetary policies despite warnings from emerging economies
Unconventional monetary policies of central banks in Europe and Japan received an endorsement from the International Monetary Fund on Sunday, even as policymakers from emerging markets warned that such policies were increasing risks for the global economy.
The debate over the merits of unconventional policies comes days before major central banks such as the U.S. Federal Reserve, the Bank of England and the Bank of Japan unveil their interest rate decisions.
At the conclusion of a three-day IMF event in New Delhi, the fund's chief, Christine Lagarde, said countries should continue with unconventional monetary policies if they were accompanied by structural reforms and low inflation.
"Monetary policy is needed but (it) cannot be the only game in town," Lagarde said.
Speaking at the same event on Saturday, India's central bank chief Raghuram Rajan, a vocal critic of such policies, had said that the costs of them were increasing even as the benefits seemed to be diminishing.
He called on global central banks to adopt a system for assessing the wider impact of their actions, including unconventional monetary policies now in use.
The European Central Bank recently eased monetary policy further by cutting all its main interest rates, expanding asset purchases and launching a loan program which could see it pay banks to lend to firms and households.
The Bank of Japan has also taken interest rates into negative territory for the first time while the U.S. Federal Reserve is expected to tighten monetary policy only gradually after years of near-zero rates and quantitative easing.
Rajan proposed that a group of academics should measure and analyze the "spillover" effects of monetary policies and indicate which should be used and which avoided. He suggested a traffic light system, grading policies green, orange or red.
The monitoring system could be implemented through an international agreement along the lines of the Bretton Woods currency accord or via the IMF, he added.
Although Lagarde avoided commenting on the merits of the proposal, the Indian central banker's idea struck a chord with policymakers from other emerging markets.
Sukudhew Singh, deputy governor at Bank Negara Malaysia, said the proposal was worth looking at.
"We need to first assess how these policies are affecting, what kind of distortions are being created," he told Reuters. "Only then, we can look for remedial measures."
While negative interest rates in Europe and Japan are bringing yield-chasing investors into emerging markets, their policymakers fear further interest rate increases in the United States could ignite massive outflows.
NO GUARANTEES
When Rajan took over as Reserve Bank of India governor in September 2013, India and other emerging economies such as Indonesia and Brazil were battling a currency crisis sparked by fears the U.S. Fed would begin tightening policy, exposing their crippling current-account shortfalls.
That experience has made them strong critics of the kind of stimulus measures adopted by developed economies in recent years.
Chatib Basri, who was Indonesia's finance minister then, said the 2013 currency crisis could be repeated in 2017 unless imbalances created by ultra-easy monetary policies were addressed.
Since mid-2013, several emerging economies including India have taken steps to shore up their forex reserves, improve public finances and narrow big current account deficits in a bid to shield themselves from any external shock.
But big sell-offs recently in their financial markets have called into question the conventional wisdom that "getting your house in order" guarantees safety.
"Frustration that Raghu (Rajan) and emerging markets policymakers feel really comes down to the shift in global economic circumstances," said Eswar Prasad, a Cornell University professor. "These classical answers don't work anymore."

France says EU could impose sanctions over Iran missile tests
The European Union could impose sanctions on Iran over its recent ballistic missile tests, France's foreign minister said on Sunday.
The United States, France and other countries have already said that, if the missiles are confirmed as nuclear-capable, the tests, conducted last week by Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps, would violate U.N. Security Council resolution 2231.
Asked whether this could trigger sanctions from the European Union, French Foreign Minister Jean-Marc Ayrault said: "We condemn ballistic missile tests and, if necessary, sanctions will be enacted."
The tests are due to be discussed by EU foreign ministers at a meeting on Monday.
U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry, whose country in January imposed sanctions on 11 companies and individuals for supplying Iran's ballistic missile program after a series of tests at the end of last year, said the latest tests were a clear violation of U.N. Resolution 2231.
The United States plans to raise the issue in U.N. Security Council consultations this week and is urging other countries to help thwart Iran's missile program.
"The missiles are a violation of the U.N. Security Council resolution because they are longer than the distance allowed for ballistic missiles and, because of that, they represent a potential threat to the countries in the region and beyond," Kerry said.
"We have made it very clear that the missile concerns remain part of sanctionable activity with respect to Iran. If Iran chooses to violate that, they will invite additional sanctions, as we put them in place just a month ago as a result of the prior tests."
Resolution 2231, adopted last July as U.N. sanctions imposed on Iran over its nuclear program were lifted, "calls upon" Iran to refrain from certain ballistic missile activity.
Western diplomats say this amounts to a clear ban, but acknowledge that Russia, China and Iran probably interpret it as an appeal for voluntary restraint, and that Russia and China would be likely to block any action by the Security Council. Iran says none of its missiles are designed to carry nuclear weapons.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel, which sees Iran's missiles as a direct threat, on Saturday urged world powers to take "immediate punitive steps" against Iran over the tests.
