The dollar squeeze of the financial crisis

Abstract

Les limitations d'accès au financement international influencent les taux de change à terme, et remettant en cause la formule selon laquelle on peut les dériver mécaniquement du taux de change spot en ajustant pour la différence des taux des deux devises (Covered Interest Parity). La différence du taux à terme réel avec ce simple taux de référence est appelée la base de change (cross currency basis). Nous relions cette base de change à des multiplicateurs de financement associées à des contraintes d'absence de découvert dans chaque devise. Nous interprétons la base de change comme une valeur de possession relative de la devise la plus désirable et du collatéral dans une devise par rapport à l'autre. L'analogie avec notre théorie des titres et pensions livrées est pour nous frappante. Nous examinons dans ce contexte les interventions coordonnées des banques centrales pour tenter d'endiguer les besoins de financement en dollar qui ont mis en danger le système bancaire européen lors de la crise financière.

By Covered Interest rate Parity (CIP), the FX swap implied currency interest rates should coincide with actual interest rates. When a difference occurs, the residual is referred to as the cross currency basis. We link the Euro-Dollar currency basis (e.g. in 2008) to shadow prices of dollar funding constraints and interpret the basis as the relative physical possession value of the scarcer currency, or the "convenience yield" associated with that currency. This is similar to specialness in repro markets, expressing the physical possession value of a security. We examine how the coordinated central banks intervention can reduce the currency basis.
