Abstract: This study builds and estimates a small open-economy dynamic stochastic general equilibrium (DSGE) model for Indonesia with banking and financial frictions. Using the model we investigate the relative performance of various monetary & macroprudential policy mixes when the economy is hit by COVID-19 pandemic shocks, which we identify from the data and the model restrictions as being a combination of adverse supply-side (technology) and demand-side (preference and foreign-output) shocks. We find that technology shocks are the dominant shocks causing business cycle fluctuations in Indonesia, both during the whole inflation-targeting period and in the more recent, ongoing COVID-19 period. This in turn implies that a policy mix that combines monetary policy with a countercyclical macroprudential policy that directly affects the supply of credit—capital requirement, reserve requirement, or liquidity buffer regulation—would be welfare-improving and a better option for the central bank as it navigates the pandemic-induced economic contraction. A countercyclical credit demand-channel macroprudential policy such as a loan-to-value ratio regulation, however, may amplify aggregate fluctuations.
