MONETARY-FISCAL DOUBLE ACT: FINANCING THE WAY OUT OF COVID19?

In the recent decade, crises and lingering weak economic conditions have pushed monetary policy to venture out to uncharted waters. Just as many central banks were planning a review of their current strategies – learning from a decade of unconventional policies, evaluating its efficacy, limits, but also side effects – the covid19 shock has thwarted any efforts towards ‘normality’. Likewise, it took the scale and scope of the covid19 pandemic for monetary policy to be joined by fiscal policy and to bring the much-discussed double-barrel policy regime forward. But addressing the complex economic, employment and social consequences of this crisis calls for sensible policy sequencing on both central bankers’ and fiscal authorities’ parts, looking ahead. Central banks’ balance sheets are to swell significantly this year, in tandem with a colossal increase in public debt. In addition, there is a deepening link between fiscal and monetary policy domains. Against such a backdrop, how will we deal with the resulting fiscal deficits and prevent them from undermining markets? What are the perils for central bank independence and how can it be sustained going forward? What are the limits of quantitative easing and public borrowing? Are SGP rules dead forever? What about inflation and the pricing of different asset classes?
