EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

1 THE NEEDS OF PROJECT

Liquidity is available capital to meet the financial obligations of credit institutions (CIs) or banks Capital is to meet the requirements of central bank reserves and compulsory excess to perform its payment obligations to customers, with the state budget, dealing with partners, pay debt to the central bank The banks will maintain liquidity in two forms: in the funds deposited at the central bank and credit institutions The excess liquidity is the highest portion of liquid, banks will determine the proportion of money kept in bank or deposited at the central bank based on payment demand Thus, the liquidity kept in the central bank include the required reserve deposits and a part of excess reserves to meet the needs of payment The central bank manages the deposited liquidity by setting the regulation and policy system, building the rules of intervention, dominating the transaction volume of liquidity in currency markets to adjust liquidity status in the interbank market, dominating the behavior of balance adjustment between deposited liquidity and fund

in bank to ensure its proper operation, thereby affecting market interest rates in order

to achieve the ultimate goal of the monetary policy

To execute the liquidity management, central bank needs to forecast liquidity status in the market, determine the value needed to intervene and propose the solutions to adjust liquidity status in the market to achieve the goal of monetary policy execution Depending on the nation, with the characteristics of political institutions, the stage of economic development as well as the effectiveness in monetary policy operation of central bank; the impact of each element that causes the supply and demand of liquidity at the central bank as well as the prediction and control of single component in central bank liquidity also differ

The State Bank of Vietnam is gradually improving the management of liquidity such as complete forecasting methods, provide sources of information for the forecast reports, improve uniformity of intervention system, Despite many efforts, the results gradually are more accurate prediction, the tools are used flexibly, creating volatility

in line with market requirements and achieve the State Bank goals, but the result of liquidity management of the central bank faces many constraints, liquidity status of the market reflects positive changes after the central bank intervened, directed interest rate does not drive market interest rates, the operating activities of SBV go after market, the market is not interested in the operating from the central bank Causes affecting the results on liquidity management of State Bank of Vietnam is the

lack of reporting system, forecasting techniques are short-term, predictable and management on liquidity are limited, the coordination of macroeconomic policies is inconsistent leading the central bank in the passive state of liquidity adjustment to achieve the objectives of monetary policy

Starting from practical requirements outlined, this project have selected research topic is: "Liquidity management in monetary policy of the State Bank of Vietnam" contributing more fully to the scientific arguments management of liquidity, practical implementation at the State Bank of Vietnam and then to propose solutions to improve the efficiency of the management of liquidity in order to meet the requirements of operating monetary policy effectiveness

2 LOCAL AND GLOBAL RESEARCH

Globally, there have been many studies related to the topic of monetary policy (the tools of monetary policy, the objective of monetary policy ), and money market However the material directly related to liquidity management of central bank in monetary policy execution in the world are not published much The author represents the study of this problem: Bindseil Ulrich (2000), Falko Fecht, Kjell G Nyborg, J'org Rocholl (2007), Simon T Gray (2008), Mohamed Afzal Norat (2008)

In addition, organizations such as the International Monetary Fund (IMF), European Central Bank and the U.S.Federal Reserve Board also has a number of research articles related to the topic In studies in Vietnam, the research topics related to monetary policy, the tools of monetary policy, the transmission channel of monetary policy action has been much research interested, however, directly related to the operation of the executive liquidity management in the monetary policy of the central bank is only

"Improving prediction method to enhance Liquidity regulatory capacity of central bank

in money market" of Deputy Governor – SBV Nguyen Dong Tien (2006)

Totally, in the world and in Vietnam, the researchs on liquidity management of the central bank is limited and has not been verified and systematiced as well as a verification completely and comprehensively, the study made no difference about liquidity concept in terms of commercial banks and the central bank in every aspect, the liquidity status changes affect each market and at different levels So choose the thesis focuses on systematic reasoning related to the management of the central bank

in terms of liquidity, and study the performance of this work at the State Bank of Vietnam to increase operating efficiency of monetary policy

3 PURPOSE

liquidity, supply and demand of liquidity, content management of liquidity, forecasting methods of liquidity Research on experience of management and forecasting liquidity in some countries around the world, to figure out the lessons for Vietnam

- Analysis of the management situation and forecast the liquidity of SBV in operating monetary policy by itself

- Propose solutions to address the issues raised in the liquidity management of the SBV, improve quality and improve the management of liquidity to contribute and enhancing the effectiveness of monetary policy

4 OBJECTS AND SCOPES

Objects: research will focus on the basic theory in terms of liquidity

management of the central bank, the status of liquidity to execute the monetary policy

of the central bank by forecasting method from currency balance sheet and propose management solution on liquidity of the central bank monetary policy

CHAPTER 1 GENERAL THEORY OF LIQUIDITY MANAGEMENT IN THE MONETARY POLICY OPERATION OF THE CENTRAL BANK

1.1 OVERVIEW ON LIQUIDITY AND ITS MANAGEMENT IN MONETARY POLICY OPERATION OF THE CENTRAL BANK

1.1.1 Liquidity

1.1.1.1 Concept

"Liquidity" means funds available to meet its financial obligations, such as customer cash, payment requirements, to meet loan commitments to customers, payment for budget and credit repayment for central bank of the bank

Under banking system perspective: Liquidity is capital strength of a financial institution, is located in the banks' available capital

On the management of the central bank: capital availability deposits at central bank - is the amount of reserves that banks send to the country's central bank It includes: compulsory reserve deposits, demand deposits, etc

1.1.1.2 Demand and supply on liquidity at the central bank

Demand on liquidity at the central bank

The demand on liquidity is understood as a set of demands to be met to make the financial obligations of the banks with our partners, including central bank, the state budget, other financial institutions and especially customers of the banks

The demand on liquidityis formed by two parts: the free availability of capital and policy requirements

The free availability of capital: As the demand to meet the payment comes from the intrinsic factor in the activity of credit institutions and outside the direct control of the central bank

The liquiditypolicy: the implementation of the central bank requires that banks have to deposit an amount known as the reserve requirement

The relationship between the free liquidityand the liquiditypolicy: a close relationship with each other through the closing balance date of the payment deposit accounts In which the demand on capital availability depends on the required reserve policies, the institutional factors and not change daily The rest on the central bank deposit accounts in order to meet the demand of liquidityitself

Supply on Liquidity at the central bank

Supplying liquidity is the amount of money that the banks used to meet its

financial obligations to stakeholders such as customers, budgets, with other banks or the central bank

Basically, the supply of liquidity of the banks is formed from two main sources: (i) raising capital from the economy, (ii) additional supply from the central bank through the channels: buying foreign currencies, the budget loans, loans for financial institutions and a number of other terms When considering the central bank provides capital availability, the research focused on providing the liquiditycomes from the change of the elements on the cash flow balance sheet of the central bank

- The autonomous supply factors including net foreign assets, government net lending, Other net assets

- The supply on policy factors include Refinancing for banking activities in the market

1.1.2 Managing Liquidity of the central bank in monetary policy operation 1.1.2.1 Concept

Liquidity management is the task of central bank forecasting liquidity generally for the whole system, establishing rules of conduct and the use of interventions to adjust monetary conditions and the state of supply and demand of liquidity used in the interbank market to achieve the ultimate objective of monetary policy

1.1.2.2 The needs on liquidity management in monetary policy operation of the central bank

The central bank controls liquidity to improve the effectiveness in monetary policy operation

The central bank approves the forecast on capital availability state of the market, determine the exact dosage and duration of the intervention will be the incentive to market dynamics change in a positive direction, thereby achieving goals central bank sets We can say, central bank well manage the liquidity will improve the impact of the policy tools to the real variables of the economy were chosen as policy goals in each period, the national monetary policy

Support the central bank to adjust the state of liquidity of the banking system

The forecasting liquidity of credit institution system will help the central bank understands normal and abnormal of the market, then propose solutions on the state capital availability on time through pumping money, adjusting the price mechanism

It is important to keep the central bank to adjust the state of liquidity, because

the central bank understands that when the state of supply and demand imbalance in liquidity - whether surplus or deficit - will push the central bank to implement the

undesired behavior, so the central bank will be able to satisfy the requirements of the market to implement the planned monetary policy

1.2 CONTENT AND PROCESS OF LIQUIDITY MANAGEMENT IN MONETARY MANAGEMENT OPERATIONS OF THE CENTRAL BANK 1.2.1 Process of liquidity management in monetary policy management operation of the central bank

1.2.1.1 Forecasting the liquidity in monetary policy execution

The role of liquidity forecasting in monetary policy operation

Forecasting liquidity as a basis for central bank can set the operating solution monetary policy appropriately, contributing to capital availability, regulatory market interest rates on monetary policy objectives in each time period

Forecasting liquidity method

 Base on Cash flow balance sheet of the central bank

 Forecasting approach: approaching cash flow balance sheet of the central bank

allows the use of the data items on the balance sheet to predict the state of available capital The change of each factor on the balance sheet will affect the Liquidity of the whole banking system

Supply of liquidity= (net foreign assets + Government net lending + other net assets - cash) + bank’s loan from the central bank

Demand of liquidity= required reserves + reserve for payment

 Liquidity (bank’s reserves at the central bank) =  net foreign assets +  Government net lending +  bank’s loan from the central bank + other net assets -  cash [37]

 Procedure on liquidity forecasting in monetary policy operation

Step 1: Identify factors to predict

Step 2: Create the set of data history on supply factors – demand on Liquidity in

period of time

Step 3: Analyzing the factors impact on forecasting: this step is the most

important and sofisticate in forecasting procedures

 Forecasting factors on liquidity

 Autonomous liquidity supply

Government net lending: To predict the trends of the movement items for

Government net lending, forecasting departments need to monitor the movement of lending and cash of the Government, in particular through revenues and operating expenses of the government guarantee The effect of this factor prediction depends

on: the relationship between the MOF and the central bank decided to smooth the information exchange; Opening of Government Accounts at commercial banks, central bank or open in 2 places will affect the capital movement and affect forecasted results

Net foreign assets: In the short term, the change in net foreign assets by the

central bank intervened in the foreign exchange market, the long term: The change in net foreign assets have been affected by the changes in the components of the balance

of international payments

Cash in circulation: In the short term, cash requirements primarily influenced by

seasonal factors such as salary payment date, day off, day to spend money to increase salaries, the forecast on money factor need to rely on historical data to analyze to find out the seasonal factors, in long-term, factors affecting cash requirements are: (1) growth trend and cyclical demand cash, (2) growth rate of nominal GDP (3) the changing trend in the relationship between the Government and cash needs,

Net other items: In the short term, the net accounts negligible fluctuations In

general, if there is no specific information in advance, able to forecast unchanged except receivables and payable

 Supply on capital availability policy: Depends on the monetary policy

objectives of each plan period and providing credit through the banking system, then

forecasting is high certainty and accuracy

 Forecasting the demand factors of available capital: To predict the

availability of capital of the whole banking system, central bank interesting in total liquidityrequirements of the whole system without the capital requirements

seperately, except in some countries there is a separation of the currency market

 Forecasting the demand on required reserve: This amount is affected by the

required reserve management methods and factors affecting the average amount of money raised by the banks How to forecast of total deposits or on the composition of deposits may use structure models or time model, taking into account the seasonal nature of the deposits factor

 Forecasting the exceeded reserves: this needs almost no sensitivity to

interbank rates changes There are three factors that affect the demand for this balance: efficient payment process, the expectations of central bank behavior in the provision for credit loss reserves at no penalty rates; interbank market status

Step 4: Analysis pre-prediction failure

Step 5: Forecasting implementation: Solution 1: analysis base on historical

data and seasonal adjustment; Solution 2: Based on the data analysis by planned or

expenditures due under the contract, such as loans, bank’s debt collection for central bank, due date of the sale and purchase contracts with terms limited to the central bank In particular, Solution 1 is active forecasts of the central bank, solution 2 is higher accuracy, but the central bank depends upon the data collection

Also, able to combine quantitative methods to measure the impact of individual components to the state of supply and demand of the central bank Liquidity in each period, then having more solid deligence for the decision to use central bank intervention to achieve monetary policy operation The model indicated mostly single regression model, reflecting the impact of a factor on the supply / demand Liquidity

Step 6: Summary of forecasting results

 Pros and cons of forecasting method

 Pros: Increasing the autonomy of the central bank forecasts; negligible bias in the short-term

 Cons: Depending on the coordination of information between the central bank and

the MOF, forecasting results for the Liquidity of the whole system under this approach depends on a number of fundamental conditions: (i) any payment of CIs are made through

the payment system of the central bank, (ii) money market has no separation

 Forecast approaching from CIs

 Forecast literature

This prediction method is based on figures reported by Cis and the central

bank, aggregation on liquiditystatus of the market at the time of management

 Forecasting method

For good data forecasting from banks, central bank needs to standardize forecasting methods liquidityin the system, each bank have been tracking systems to execute cash flow analysis of their units on the basis of management and monitoring

of all on-line entries arising property and asset and Liability in each bank

 Pros and cons of forecasting method base on balance sheet approaching of bank Pros: Helps central bank to forecast more accurate and complete the liquidityof

the whole system; central bank easily requires banks to report the status of liquidityfrom time to time for the central bank

Cons: The role of the central bank initiative in forecasts is limited; require each

bank to invest in infrastructure for information and billing systems and human resources to implement the centralising management capital and on-line in their

system entirely

1.2.1.2 Determination of intervention: (i) target of monetary policy each period,

(ii) Based on forecast results of available capital, (iii) The situation of the previous session, (iv) Review review of market parameters such as interest rates, changes in capital requirements Then the monetary policy committee (in some countries by the Commission open market operations) will determine intervention

1.2.1.3 The intervention solutions to achieve goals

Open market operations: The operations and primarily used frequently in the

short-term intervention and immediate availability of capital management

Tools are often used to supplement the impact to the state's last

liquiditymarket after the open-market operations ending the day session or extended impact to the state capital of some banks that can not join OMO operations

Obligatory reserves: The intervention measures provide long-term adjustment

strongly to the status of capital availability in the market through the central bank requires banks to hold a prescribed amount of money based on the required reserve

ratio and the amount send to mobilize each period

1.2.2 Timeframe of forecasts and Liquidity management

Short term forecast: short-term forecast period depends on the length of the

period and the ability to maintain an accurate forecast of the central bank Forecast period is usually today (t = 0), the next day (t = 1), from today to the end of

maintenance period

Long-term forecast: central bank can help more easily in the operating plan

The long-term forecasts on a quarterly basis, the next year to help the central bank determines an interest goals or payment term of OMO operation

1.2.3 Factor impacts on liquidity management in monetary policy operation of the Central bank

1.2.3.1 Objective factor

The relationship between the Central Bank and the Government: Basically,

this relationship affects the ability of the central bank planning to government net lending in liquidityforecasting method that based on cash flow balance sheet of central bank The planning is whether or not driven by an independent central bank with the Government, under the Government

The effect of the capital flows transfering between lenders and borrowers in the interbank market: will affect the maintenance of the status and estimated

availability of capital, the interbank market is complicated by the uncertain behavior

of the participating banks in trading capital

The regulatory in capital management of banks: the banks' capital

management major influence on the ability to exploit capital at a time, to the capital state or the supply of capital to the interbank market demand, thereby affecting on the Liquidity management role of the central banks The banks have two forms of capital management centralised and decentralized

1.2.3.2 Subjective factor

Target system of Monetary policy: The system selected target oriented operating interest or base on volume will affect the quality of the liquidity management of bank Methods of forecasting on liquidity of the central bank: Two methods are used in the world: (i) the forecast on the cash flow balance sheet of the central bank that brings proactive in forecasting, (ii) forecast from the banks report provides more accuracy

The rules and sanctions in monetary market: Markets organized and comprehensive legal framework to facilitate the central bank control over information and market signals

1.3 EXPERIENCE ON LIQUIDITY MANAGEMENT OF MONETARY POLICY OPERATION FROM OTHER COUNTRIES

1.3.1 FED

1.3.1.1 Forecasting method of FED

Forecasting methods used are accessible from the balance sheet of the central

bank, the duration of the forecast in the U.S is conducted every two weeks and daily This two-week orientation constantly updated daily as estimates of reserves needs to

be adjusted Daily Forecasting Division on liquidityis the level 1 agent provides information about the market situation Every month, the dealer 1 exchanges and assesses the market status with the economic experts, their customers and provide the forecast devision on liquidity

Forecasting on Liquidity demand

+ The reserve requirement forecast: Fed manages the reserve requirement by

duplicated partly method Therefore, the amount of required reserve maintained relatively stable from the first day to the last day of the period The banks report the amount of deposits to the reserve requirement Forecast Devision would result in relatively stable data and accurately

+ Setlement deposits: Before the required reserve maintenance period, besides

the deposit of required reserve, banks are expected to inform the reserves to ensure solvency for the central bank

Forecasting the supply on Liquidity

+ Net foreign assets: Fed takes foreign currency from the Treasury to exchange

for dollars provided to Treasury Fed spots money buying and protect the value of the currency that is bought and sold the same amount of money at the same price and term for the Treasury

+ Treasury deposit items: Due to the close relationship with the Treasury and

information systems, Treasury data updated daily, then Fed should be able to exchange information with the Treasury and the forecast impact of fiscal, government deposits and reserves of banks is very convenient

+ Cash out flow: Using foreign currency is also a complicating factor for the forecast

by the U.S dollar is the preferred currency used in international transactions and in some countries with the status of the dollar can be used to replace the domestic currency

1.3.1.2 Intervention: Fed can change the market situation through the use of three

tools: reserve requirement, discount rate projection and open market operations

Open Market Operations: Fed used OMOs to adjust the supply on liquidityto

keep interest rates on interbank market around overnight interest rate target

Lending: The primary purpose of windows is to limit the pressure on the

overnight rate by providing credit adapted to meet the lack of reserves to avoid overdrafts or late in the day, but the banks are reluctant to rely the discount window This complicates the Liquidity management of FED and reduce the effectiveness the safety valve of discount window

Required reserve: The difference in tool using is the Fed does not change the

required reserve ratio which changes the required reserve deposit limits corresponding to the fixed rate is 0%, 3% and 10% This is a tool to create long-term impact of liquidity management and Fed does not use much

Fed funds rate: It is the Fed's interbank rates target Fed does not decide on

interest rate but providing direction to interest rates and then use the open market to impact the overnight interest rate target

1.3.2 Experience of liquidity management at ECB

1.3.2.1 Forecasting methods: ECB forecasts made by the method of the balance

sheet of the central bank with aggregate report, analyze the report forecasts liquidityof the member nations

- Forecast on demand of liquidity: self-Factor is the most unpredictable factor

in the availability of capital in the European region

- For the demand on reserve requirement forecasting: ECB managing the

reserve requirement by an average in period, by partly duplicated solution,

particularly due to the high required reserve requirements in the European system, banks tend to maintain cash reserve requirement relatively stable

- Excess reserves: ECB control state of liquiditythrough the difference between the

rate of reserve and deposits at the central bank with no more than 0:25% -0.5%

- Forecast in supply of liquidity: The European system, assessment the needs on

liquidity is the major determinant of liquidity allocation in open market operations The determination of liquidity needs ends 1 day before deciding on the next refinancing operations, ECB may decide to change the supply of available capital ECB has a database to run econometric model forecasts as a basis for a number of factors

1.3.2.2 Intervention solution: ECB uses monetary policy tools to intervene in order

to change the state of available capital, state of capital availability in the market is reflected in the EONIA The ECB's monetary policy tools are included: open market operations, channels and minimum reserve

Open market operations of four categories: primary refinancing operations,

refinancing maturities 3 months, professional intervention to regulate markets and instantaneous adjustment of structure Important tool in creating signal for the monetary policy of the Eurosystem's main refinancing operations, done weekly for a period of two weeks

Vehicles frequently: Eurosystem offers two facilities deposits and credits

frequently, one for supply and one to absorb the available capital

1.3.3 Experience on liquidity management in monetary policy operation in Malaixia (BNM) 1.3.3.1 Forecasting method

Currently, the Malaysian currency market exists two inter-bank market, which operates the interbank market accounts for the majority of Muslims in the active trading of money market interbank Malaysia Both markets operate under the unified management of the central bank of Malaysia

The method is used mainly from the reports of banks To have the base of currency operations, including open market operations impact on bank’s reserves, in order to achieve the goal-oriented interest rate (policy rate), BNM established Forecast Division on Liquidity of the Investment Department and the financial markets The predicted Liquidity daily substantially BNM mainly synthetic calculations, forecasting Liquidity of banks The data on the Liquidity position of the bank is provided by the bank for BNM via on-line systems (BIDS)

1.3.3.2 Intervention solution

The capital management process includes three stages:
