Toward a Liquidity Risk Management Strategy for Emerging Market Economies
Toward a Liquidity Risk Management Strategy for Emerging Market Economies
A country's risk management strategy to volatility should focus on three main areas: the financial system, public debt management, and the corporate sector. This chapter articulates the main elements of a country's strategy to deal with liquidity (or rollover) risk. It focuses on selected issues that were crucial in dealing with market volatility in the 1990s, and whose importance has not been adequately emphasized or, in some cases, remains controversial. In the analysis, frequent references are made to the recent experience of some emerging market economies, in particular that of Argentina during the 1990s. The strategy focuses on the financial system and on the financing policies in the public and the private sector. Once the main elements are presented, the implications for exchange rate policy, as well as for the role of the IMF, are discussed.
