Session 1

Definitions, Measures, and Roles of Global Liquidity
10:40 ~ 12:10

Definitions, Measures, and Roles of Global Liquidity

  This session collates views on the definition, determinants, and appropriate measurement of global liquidity. Global liquidity conditions could be driven by macroeconomic policies and institutional developments—such as conventional and unconventional monetary policies, exchange rates, economic fundamentals, financial innovations, and financial integration. Speakers will discuss the importance of global liquidity for both the global economy and individual economies. Global liquidity provision could temper financial frictions, but, at the same time, create externalities such as cross-border spillovers in a global framework. This session will consider these tradeoffs.

Session 2

New Perspectives on the Transmission Mechanism of Global Liquidity
13:40 ~ 15:10

New Perspectives on the Transmission Mechanism of Global Liquidity

  How is global liquidity transmitted across markets and countries? This session will review various views on the transmission mechanism, and discuss the resulting capital flows and policy responses. Various country-level policies and institutional developments—such as the progress of financial innovation and financial integration—have affected the transmission channels of global liquidity. Against this backdrop, the session will offer perspectives to help better understand how global liquidity affects key macro-financial variables—such as asset prices, commodity prices, growth, and inflation—in both advanced and emerging market economies. It will also discuss the nature of policy responses to volatile capital flows, and multilateral implications inherent in country-level responses.

Session 4

Global Liquidity and Policy Challenges – Past, Present, and Future
9:25 ~ 10:55

Global Liquidity and Policy Challenges – Past, Present, and Future

  This session will offer views on the related policy challenges in a global framework. How do we evaluate the adequacy of global liquidity? What contributions have global liquidity provisions made in terms of growth and stability from the global viewpoint? Is the prevailing level of global liquidity sustainable from the standpoint of global stability? How would excesses and shortages of global liquidity affect growth and stability over time and across different country groups? Taking stock of the related policy issues, this session will suggest the need for developing balanced approaches to policy resolutions striking a balance between the costs and benefits of global liquidity in a global framework.
