[This is a post-publication review symposium]Does great-power politics shape international monetary decision-making? Susan Strange (1971) and Robert Gilpin (1987) certainly thought so. In recent years, however, International Political Economy (IPE) has turned increasingly to models inspired by economic drivers—ranging from market liquidity to global integration. In their new article, “No Reservations: International Order and Demand for the Renminbi as a Reserve Currency,” Steven Liao and Daniel McDowell reawaken this earlier tradition, turning the spotlight on China and the Renminbi. Their article finds that as states preferences diverge from the United State, they are more likely to hold Renminbi. Monetary policy, then, becomes part of a hedging strategy against American hegemony and possibly support for an alternative international order. The article nicely ties questions of monetary policy to important issues of great-power transitions. Given recent moves by the International Monetary Fund (IMF), which seem to place the Renminbi closer to reserve currency status, as well as the tumult in domestic Chinese monetary policy, this article speaks directly to events on the ground.

According to a survey conducted between July 9 and July 11, 2022, ** percent of Americans thought that Joe Biden was highly responsible for the current trend in the inflation rate. This is compared to ** percent of Americans who said President Biden did not have a lot of responsibility for the current inflation rate.

Inflation in the U.S. Global events in 2022 had a significant impact on the United States. Inflation rose from *** percent in January 2021 to *** percent in June 2022. Significantly higher prices of basic goods led to increased concern over the state of the economy, and the ability to cover increasing monthly costs with the same income. Low interest rates, COVID-19-related supply constraints, corporate profiteering, and strong consumer spending had already put pressure on prices before Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. Despite rising wages on paper, the rapid growth of consumer prices resulted in an overall decline in real hourly earnings in the first half of 2022.

How much control does Joe Biden have over inflation? The bulk of economic performance and the inflation rate is determined by factors outside the President’s direct control, but U.S. presidents are often held accountable for it. Some of those factors are market forces, private business, productivity growth, the state of the global economy, and policies of the Federal Reserve. Although high-spending decisions such as the 2021 COVID-19 relief bill may have contributed to rising inflation rates, the bill has been seen by economists as a necessary intervention for preventing a recession at the time, as well as being of significant importance to low-income workers impacted by the pandemic.

The most important tool for curbing inflation and controlling the U.S. economy is the Federal Reserve. The Reserve has the ability to set, raise, and lower interest rates and determine the wider monetary policy for the United States – something out of the president’s control. In June 2022, the Reserve announced it would raise interest rates **** percent for the second time that year – hoisting the rate to a target range of **** to *** percent – in an attempt to slow consumer demand and balance demand with supply. However, it can often take time before the impacts of interventions by the Federal Reserve are seen in the public’s day-to-day lives. Most economists expect this wave of inflation to pass in a year to 18 months.

Executive summary As Canada’s federal deposit insurer and resolution authority, CDIC operates in a rapidly changing and complex environment. Canada’s economy is facing global and domestic headwinds, such as tighter monetary policy, higher interest rates, geo-political tensions, and lower housing affordability. Canadian businesses continue to navigate an uncertain operating environment with elevated input and borrowing costs. People in Canada are feeling the impacts every day. Overall, CDIC members are in stable financial condition. Although the 2023 bank failures in the United States and Switzerland were contained to those countries, these events underscored the importance of continued vigilance in regulatory oversight and supervision. They also reaffirmed the value of resolution planning and testing so CDIC can respond quickly to a variety of crisis scenarios and possible shocks to financial system stability. Moreover, they highlighted the importance of promoting public awareness of deposit insurance, which protects depositors and contributes to financial stability. Every year, new financial products, services, providers, and transaction channels are launched. This presents new savings opportunities, but also new risks to depositors regarding deposit protection and coverage. In response, CDIC continues to innovate to protect financial futures in Canada. For example, CDIC is continuing its payout modernization project which aims to reimburse depositors more conveniently, quickly, and securely in the event of a member failure. CDIC is also adapting to an evolving workplace environment. All organizations are facing increasing technological and cultural hanges, with continued competition for talent. CDIC will continue to advance its workforce strategies to prioritize attracting and retaining top talent, with a focus on ensuring its employees are representative of Canada’s diverse population. The Corporation will continue refining its approach to hybrid work, adapting technology, operations, and skills training across the organization to continue meeting the demands of the future in service of its mandate. CDIC will focus on three strategic objectives for the 2024/2025 to 2028/2029 planning period, anchored to the Corporation’s mandate as federal deposit insurer and resolution authority: 1 — Resolution Readiness Resolution readiness involves having the necessary people, data, processes, tools, systems, and financial capacity to resolve a member failure, if necessary. CDIC’s role among Canada’s financial sector oversight agencies intensifies during times of economic hardship or uncertainty. CDIC protects depositors and contributes to financial stability by being resolution ready. CDIC will continue to strengthen its capacity for the early identification and surveillance of risks. It will also identify and assess resolution tools, policies, and mechanisms to strengthen the current deposit insurance and resolution framework and improve resolution capacity and capabilities through training and testing. In 2024/2025, CDIC will remain focused on its new deposit insurance and payout system, a major transformational initiative that began in 2021. The project aims to enable depositors to access their funds more rapidly and securely in the event of a member failure. It will also enable CDIC to support new digital channels for communicating securely with depositors, member institutions, and deposit brokers. In 2024/2025, CDIC will also continue working on the tri-agency Data Collection Modernization Initiative, alongside the Office of the Superintendent of Financial Institutions (OSFI) and the Bank of Canada. This will ensure CDIC has the necessary level of regulatory data to: support risk-intelligent decision-making abilities, proactively respond to changes in Canada’s risk environment, and align needs to support the respective mandates of participating agencies. 2 — Depositor Trust and Confidence Reinforcing people’s confidence in the safety of their deposits is essential to protecting financial futures in Canada. CDIC is undertaking a Deposit Insurance Study to assess the scope and coverage of current deposit protection to ensure that it continues to meet depositors’ needs into the future. Results will be shared with the Minister of Finance for policy consideration. Given the strong linkage between public awareness of deposit protection and the stability of the financial system, the Corporation will continue to focus on the level of people’s awareness of CDIC, its membership and coverage. 3 — Organizational Strength Organizational strength involves preparing for, and responding to, internal and external factors that can impact CDIC’s people, culture, and technologies. CDIC is committed to having a workforce that reflects the depositors it serves and being an employer of choice. CDIC is focused on promoting an inclusive culture, and exceeding workforce representation statistics. CDIC will again seek to achieve the Great Place to Work™ certification in 2024/2025. CDIC achieves its vision through its people and strong culture. CDIC will enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of its enterprise and corporate services through targeted technology investment, improved operational resiliency and augmented skills-training to ensure the Corporation can continue to fulfill its mandate. From a financial perspective, CDIC’s operating budget will be $90.3 million in fiscal year 2024/2025, and its capital budget will be $1.2 million. CDIC maintains (ex ante) funding to cover possible deposit insurance losses. The amount of such funding is represented by the aggregate of CDIC’s retained earnings and the provision for insurance losses. CDIC’s ex ante fund was $8.6 billion (73 basis points of insured deposits) as at September 30, 2023. The Corporate Plan anticipates and responds to the evolving operating environment and risks facing CDIC. It also supports the Corporation’s ability to achieve its mandate, while maintaining the public’s trust and confidence that their eligible deposits are protected.

The Long Depression was, by a large margin, the longest-lasting recession in U.S. history. It began in the U.S. with the Panic of 1873, and lasted for over five years. This depression was the largest in a series of recessions at the turn of the 20th century, which proved to be a period of overall stagnation as the U.S. financial markets failed to keep pace with industrialization and changes in monetary policy. Great Depression The Great Depression, however, is widely considered to have been the most severe recession in U.S. history. Following the Wall Street Crash in 1929, the country's economy collapsed, wages fell and a quarter of the workforce was unemployed. It would take almost four years for recovery to begin. Additionally, U.S. expansion and integration in international markets allowed the depression to become a global event, which became a major catalyst in the build up to the Second World War. Decreasing severity When comparing recessions before and after the Great Depression, they have generally become shorter and less frequent over time. Only three recessions in the latter period have lasted more than one year. Additionally, while there were 12 recessions between 1880 and 1920, there were only six recessions between 1980 and 2020. The most severe recession in recent years was the financial crisis of 2007 (known as the Great Recession), where irresponsible lending policies and lack of government regulation allowed for a property bubble to develop and become detached from the economy over time, this eventually became untenable and the bubble burst. Although the causes of both the Great Depression and Great Recession were similar in many aspects, economists have been able to use historical evidence to try and predict, prevent, or limit the impact of future recessions.

Foreign Exchange Market Outlook

The foreign exchange market, or forex market, is projected to experience robust growth over the coming years, with the market size anticipated to increase from approximately USD 2.4 trillion in 2023 to an estimated USD 3.5 trillion by 2032, reflecting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.2%. This growth is driven by a combination of factors, including the increasing global trade activities, the rise of digital trading platforms, and the greater participation of retail investors. Furthermore, advancements in technology, particularly in electronic trading platforms, have democratized forex trading, making it more accessible to individual investors and contributing significantly to the market expansion.

One of the primary growth factors for the foreign exchange market is the surge in international trade. As globalization continues to advance, businesses and governments are engaging in cross-border transactions more than ever before, necessitating currency exchanges. The need for hedging against foreign exchange risk is a crucial driver for forex demand, as businesses seek to mitigate the risks associated with currency fluctuations. Additionally, emerging markets are becoming increasingly significant players in global trade, leading to a greater volume of foreign exchange transactions. The increasing economic interdependence among nations has thus considerably bolstered the forex market.

The proliferation of digital trading platforms has also played a pivotal role in the forex market's growth. Innovations in financial technology have revolutionized trading environments, making them more efficient and user-friendly. The rise of electronic trading platforms has allowed for seamless transactions and real-time exchange rate monitoring, attracting a larger number of individual investors to the market. This technological enhancement has not only increased market liquidity but has also improved transaction speed and accuracy, thereby increasing the overall appeal of forex trading to a broader audience, including retail investors who were previously sidelined in such markets.

Geopolitical developments and macroeconomic policies have substantial impacts on the foreign exchange market. Government regulations, monetary policies, and international economic agreements can lead to significant currency fluctuations, thus affecting forex trading volumes. Central banks around the world, with their monetary policies, directly influence currency values, impacting the forex market. Political events such as elections, trade wars, and global health crises like the COVID-19 pandemic have demonstrated their potential to create volatility in currency markets, driving up trading volumes as investors seek to capitalize on or hedge against these fluctuations.

The regional outlook for the foreign exchange market highlights varying levels of growth across different geographies. North America leads the market, driven by the presence of major financial institutions and a high level of trading activity. Europe also holds a significant share due to its well-established financial markets and the presence of the Euro, a major global currency. The Asia Pacific region is poised for substantial growth, spurred by the economic rise of countries like China and India, which are increasingly engaging in international trade. Latin America and the Middle East & Africa, although smaller in market size, are expected to witness steady growth as they continue to integrate into the global economy and develop their financial infrastructures.

Type Analysis

The foreign exchange market is categorized by types such as spot, forward, swap, and options, each serving distinct purposes and client needs. Spot transactions, which involve the immediate exchange of currencies at current market rates, constitute a significant portion of forex trading due to their simplicity and liquidity. The ease with which spot trades can be executed provides a straightforward means for participants to engage in the forex market, catering predominantly to retail traders and smaller transactions. The immediacy of spot trading makes it particularly attractive for those seeking to capitalize on short-term currency fluctuations and provides a foundational understanding for many entering the forex market.

Forward contracts represent another critical segment. These are agreements to exchange currencies at a future date at a predetermined rate, providing a hedge against future currency risk. Forward contracts are particularly valuable for corporations and financial institutions that engage in international

G20LAP-4 plays a key role in the activities of a civil society organisation with respect to greening finance. The interview discussed the involvement of the CSO in the debate, its main interlocutors, and current policy issues on the sustainable finance agenda. The Financial Elite Policymakers Interviewed (FINEPINT) database consists of interviews with financial policymakers from advanced economies and emerging markets. The interviews touch upon both national-level regulatory developments and global-level policymaking processes, as well as the interactions between the two. Interviewees are officials from Ministries, Central Banks and Financial Supervisors, representatives of banking and financial associations, representatives of Civil Society Organizations, and officials from International Organizations working on global financial governance.The semi-structured interviews followed a standard format in which policymakers were asked about:1. The development of their negotiating positions, asking who is involved internally, how the positions are informed by external actors, and who are the main partners in the policymaking process.2. The developments in policymaking processes, asking what were the main drivers of new issues emerging on the agenda, what issues came up in policymaking processes, and who is influential in the policymaking processes.3. The outcomes, asking how the main issues in policymaking processes were resolved and what the expected impacts of new policies will be.Interviews were conducted from 1992 onwards, covering a period of profound changes in the global financial system and its governance. Broad topics that were the focal points of different waves of interviews were the interaction between public and private actors in global policymaking, the political economy of financial liberalization, the internationalization / globalization of financial markets and the regulatory response to this, the Basel Capital Accords, the resolution of sovereign debt crisis, and sustainable finance.Interviewees have been provided with the following options for the use of the transcript:• Quotation: direct quotes from the interview may be used and attributed in the reference.• Referencing, no quotation: interview may be refenced by name as support for a claim, but no direct quotes may be used.• No quotation or referencing: the interview may not be quoted or referenced by name.The principal investigators of the projects included in this database are prof.

In 2008, after many years of unsustainable fiscal policy and a distorted and overvalued foreign exchange regime, the Government of Seychelles embarked upon a bold economic reform program. This program aims to put the economy on a path toward macroeconomic stability, liberalize the economy and to allow the private sector to take over from the state as the driving force in the economy. Seychelles, a small open, middle-income island state with relatively low incidence of poverty and near full employment, faced acute economic difficulties in 2008 as a result of past economic management exacerbated by the rising global oil and food prices and the downturn in the global economy. This resulted in missed debt-service payments and the subsequent downgrading of its credit rating by standard and poor's. Faced with current debt service difficulties and a historically poor credit track record, the authorities responded quickly by adopting a comprehensive reform program supported by a second year stand by arrangement with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and commencing negotiations with Paris club and other private and official creditors for debt restructuring. The government has embarked upon a comprehensive reform strategy aimed at restoring internal and external balances with the assistance of the international financial institutions and development partners. The reform program includes: (i) the complete liberalization of the exchange rate regime and float of the currency (which was introduced in November 2008); and (ii) tightened fiscal policy, including improved targeting of the comprehensive social safety net and a privatization program to deal with the many state-owned enterprises. The focus of the public expenditure review (PER) reflects the fact that revisiting the role and functions of government lie at the heart of the economic reforms that need to take place in the next two years. This chapter provides a survey of recent developments, medium-term macroeconomic developments and their fiscal policy implications. Chapter two examines public expenditure trends and budget management issues. Chapters three, four, and five examine civil service reform, health care, and education issues respectively.
