Focus

Financial institutions and markets are highly interconnected. Accordingly, differences in national macroprudential policies can be an important source of international spillovers. Through cross-border regulatory arbitrage, these differences may lead to large swings in capital flows. In turn, the transmission of financial shocks across regions may be magnified – and financial risks exacerbated.  When global financial institutions can evade policy actions taken by regulators in their jurisdiction, financial cycles are not well synchronised across economies. Moreover, reverse spillovers are potentially significant.  However, prior coordination may improve global welfare. This is one of the rationales underlying Basel III's principle of reciprocity.
