IMF Financial Surveillance Strategy—Progress Report Summary (September 12, 2013)

Core Content

The IMF's Financial Surveillance Strategy (FSS) was adopted in September 2012 following the 2011 Triennial Surveillance Review (TSR). It outlines a three-pillar approach to strengthen financial surveillance over three to five years, aiming to support global financial stability and the effective operation of the international monetary system.

Main Pillars and Progress

1. Improve Risk Identification and Macrofinancial Policy Analysis

• Focus Areas: Enhancing analysis of macroprudential policies, capital flow management, sovereign-bank feedback loops, cross-border linkages, regulatory reform implications, and financial deepening in underdeveloped systems.
• Key Achievements:
  • Published several analytical reports on macroprudential policies, including "Interaction of Monetary and Macroprudential Policies" and "Key Aspects of Macroprudential Policy".
  • Developed a comprehensive approach to managing capital flows through the Board Paper "The Liberalization and Management of Capital Flows".
  • Analyzed risks of regulatory arbitrage and spillovers of unconventional monetary policies in the 2013 Spillover Report and WEO.
  • Conducted pilot projects in low-income countries (Benin, Ghana, Senegal, and WAEMU) to enhance financial surveillance.
• Challenges:
  • Resource constraints limited the frequency of FSAPs for non-S25 vulnerable countries.
  • The unified macrofinancial framework for surveillance remains incomplete.

2. Foster an Integrated View of Financial Sector Risks

• Focus Areas: Strengthening financial surveillance within Article IV consultations, integrating financial risks into the review process, conducting more frequent FSAPs, and developing a culture of integrated risk analysis.
• Key Achievements:
  • A4 reports now incorporate financial surveillance issues, reflecting improved guidance for MCM participants.
  • Enhanced inter-departmental collaboration, particularly in the development of Risk Assessment Matrices (RAMs).
  • First-ever EU-wide FSAP conducted.
  • Experiments with cluster-level surveillance, such as reports on the German supply chain and Nordic countries.
• Challenges:
  • Cluster-level surveillance is still in early pilot stages.
  • Integration of macrofinancial linkages into Article IV reports is not yet fully realized.

3. Engage More Effectively with Stakeholders

• Focus Areas: Serving as a global facilitator on macroprudential policy, contributing to regulatory reform, deepening collaboration with the World Bank, addressing data gaps, and expanding stakeholder contacts.
• Key Achievements:
  • Facilitated global dialogues through high-level events on macroprudential policy and financial stability.
  • Strengthened collaboration with the World Bank on the Low-Income Country (LIC) Pilot and developmental modules.
  • Improved data provision through initiatives like the Data Gaps Initiative and the development of a global flow of funds database.
  • Increased media engagement and communication around surveillance reports and policy discussions.
• Challenges:
  • Limited progress in addressing data gaps and improving data provision.
  • Ongoing need to support crisis countries has constrained other MCM requests.

Next Steps and Work Ahead

1. Improve Risk Identification and Macrofinancial Policy Analysis

• Continue advising on sovereign-bank feedback loops and financial deepening.
• Deepen cross-border linkage analysis and assess the implications of regulatory reforms.
• Assist in the exit from extraordinary macrofinancial policies.

2. Innovate and Foster an Integrated View of Financial Sector Risks

• Strengthen financial surveillance in Article IV consultations using new guidance notes.
• Improve coverage of macrofinancial linkages in reports.
• Conduct more frequent FSAPs for vulnerable and LICs once resources allow.
• Expand cluster-level financial surveillance to other regions.

3. Engage More Actively with Stakeholders

• Increase technical cooperation with member countries on macroprudential policies.
• Expand data coverage for G20 countries and continue the global flow of funds matrix.
• Collaborate with central banks and other institutions on interconnectedness and spillover analysis.
• Continue using Annual and Spring Meeting seminars to engage stakeholders and disseminate policy messages.

Conclusion

The FSS has made notable progress in the first year, particularly in risk identification and policy analysis. However, challenges remain, including resource limitations and the need for a more unified macrofinancial framework. The next phase of implementation will focus on advancing the remaining strategic priorities, with an emphasis on improving the integration of financial sector risks and enhancing stakeholder engagement.
