Why has monetary policy not worked as expected? Some interactions between financial regulation, credit and money

Charles Goodhart

Chapter 6 in Money in the Great Recession, 2017, pp 155-163 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: The tightening of bank regulation from October 2008 included a massive increase in capital/asset ratios in the leading nations. This may have been needed to restore banks’ credit-worthiness, notably in inter-bank dealings. However, the consequent ‘deleveraging’ was one reason that a surge in the monetary base did not lead – as the textbooks envisaged – to a corresponding surge in the quantity of money, broadly defined. Monetary policy did not work as expected.
