Abstract: This study analyzes the impact of bilateral RMB swap agreements on the transmission of US monetary policy to China, while focusing on the underlying mechanisms and potential heterogeneous effects. Our findings demonstrate that these agreements significantly attenuate US monetary policy spillovers to China. Mechanistically, we show that bilateral swaps promote Chinese exports to trading partner countries, thereby mitigating the negative consequences of US monetary policy. Notably, agreements with emerging economies exhibit a stronger mitigating effect than those with advanced economies. These results offer policymakers valuable insights for managing international monetary policy spillovers.
