Do Central Banks’ repo Transactions and Liquidity Infusions Increase Financial Stability Risks? A Case for Circular Monetary Economics

International Journal of Research and Innovation in Social Science, 2020, vol. 4, issue 7, 377-386

Abstract: Central banks repo market operations and liquidity infusions occasion a structural liquidity mismatch in bank balance sheets and increase the dependence on central bank liquidity. This paper argues for what I term “Circular Monetary Economics†, an approach to monetary policy that seeks to green and prudentially insulate the design and implementation of liquidity and credit facilities. Circular monetary economics will lessen the probability of cross-asset contamination within financial institutions and contagion within the broader financial system, whilst simultaneously improving the transmissions from changes in the policy rate as well as macro-prudential regimes in the event of a climate or credit-driven financial shock.
