 Global financial risk and uncovered interest parity premia in Central and Eastern EuropeJakub Janus Economic Modelling, 2025, vol. 148, issue C Abstract: This paper investigates the impact of global financial risk on uncovered interest parity (UIP) premia in four Central and Eastern European (CEE) economies. Building on recent advances in measuring global financial risk, the study employs local projections that incorporate external factors and local macroeconomic conditions. The results show that global risk-on/risk-off shocks have positive, economically significant, but temporary effects on UIP premia, typically following peak-and-trough patterns. The transmission of global risk to UIP premia is primarily driven by adjustments in exchange rates rather than shifts in interest rate differentials, with stronger responses observed for excess currency returns against the US dollar than the euro. Both the quantity of global risk (economic uncertainty) and its price (risk aversion) influence UIP premia, with the latter inducing more volatile responses. These findings underscore the role of financial market imperfections in shaping currency dynamics and their relevance for policies enhancing resilience to external shocks.
