Scaling up sustainable investment through blockchain‐based project bonds
Safety First: Expanding the Global Financial Safety Net in Response to Covid‐19
We call for strengthening the Global Financial Safety Net (GFSN) to manage the economic effects of COVID‐19, in particular the massive capital outflows from emerging market and developing economies EMDEs and the global shortage of dollar liquidity. Both the United Nations (UN) and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) estimate that EMDEs need an immediate $2.5 trillion, yet the financing available to them is just $700 to $971 billion. To meet the…
Bracing for the Typhoon: Climate change and sovereign risk in Southeast Asia
This article investigates and empirically tests the link between climate change and sovereign risk in Southeast Asia. Southeast Asian countries are among those most heavily affected by climate change. The number and intensity of extreme weather events in the region have been increasing markedly, causing severe social and economic damage. Southeast Asian economies are also exposed to gradual effects of global warming as well as transition risks st…
Central bank mandates, sustainability objectives and the promotion of green finance
This article examines how addressing climate-related risks and supporting mitigation and adaptation policies fit into central bank mandates. We conduct an analysis of mandates and objectives using the IMF's Central Bank Legislation Database and compare these to sustainability-related policies central banks have adopted in practice. Out of 135 central banks, only 12% have explicit sustainability mandates, while 40% are mandated to support the gove…
The impact of climate vulnerability on firms’ cost of capital and access to finance
This article presents the first systematic investigation of the effects of climate-related vulnerability on firms’ cost of capital and access to finance and sheds light on a hitherto under-appreciated cost of climate change for climate vulnerable developing economies. We first show theoretically how climate vulnerability could affect firms’ cost of capital and access to finance. Apart from a possible impact on cost of debt and equity, which drive…
Low-carbon transition risks for finance
The transition to a low-carbon economy will entail a large-scale structural change. Some industries will have to expand their relative economic weight, while other industries, especially those directly linked to fossil fuel production and consumption, will have to decline. Such a systemic shift may have major repercussions on the stability of financial systems, via abrupt asset revaluations, defaults on debt, and the creation of bubbles in rising…

Effects of Global Liquidity on Commodity and Food Prices
Exchange Rates Under the East Asian Dollar Standard; Living with Conflicted Virtue
This book is the essence of Ronald McKinnon's recent work on the exchange rate policies pursued by the East Asian countries. It contains eight essays, of which three are written with his co‐author, Gunther Schnabl of Tiibingen University. Three other essays are co‐authored with Rishi Goyal of the IMF, Kenichi Ohno of the National Graduate Institute of Policy Studies in Tokyo, and Huw Pill of the Harvard Business School, respectively. McKinnon, th…
