Exchange Rate Appreciation and Negative Central Bank Capital: Is There a Problem?
Original language description
One of the crucial features of the world financial system over the last 10 years has been a steady increase in foreign exchange reserve holdings in emerging market economies. The accumulation of exchange reserves in the emerging economies is exposing a number of central banks to the risk of unrealized losses due to a decline in the value of the reserves expressed in the domestic currency if that currency starts to appreciate in nominal terms. Under these conditions, nominal appreciation may become a long term phenomenon, reflected in a build-up of large negative capital in its central bank. In this chapter we provide answers to the questions of whether negative capital is a problem, whether the losses can be offset by future profits and under what conditions the government should step in.
