Abstract

The stability at both individual financial institution and financial system level are a prerequisite for the implementation of monetary policy. In particular, financial stability indicators are aggregate measures comprising of microprudential and macroprudential indicators, which define and signal the health and soundness of financial system in a country. The balance sheet of individual financial institution and financial system provide the information for deriving the financial stability indicators, which partly become the targets of monetary policy. Therefore, understanding the working of both macroprudential and monetary policies are crucial for measuring the soundness and stability of financial system. The aim of this chapter is to help guide policymakers and researchers in identifying policy-relevant questions that can inform policy decisions on the design and implementation of macroprudential policy tools going forward and on the interaction with monetary policy. Secondly, it is aimed to provide information for policymakers on existing issues, which can inform their current policy debates. The analysis of monetary policy tools, doctrines, and the implementation of monetary policy from selected countries are taken as comparison with the macroprudential tools. From the analysis, it is identified that macroprudential and monetary policy tools are different as well as the both of the targets. The effects of macroprudential policy tools are on the financing growth, leverage or capital, and asset prices. While the effects of monetary policy tools are on the reserve position and the benchmark rate in determining the profit margin and profit to be distributed. It is also concluded that the challenge for policymaker in analyzing the effectiveness of both macroprudential and monetary policies are to avoid financial instability.
