The Financial Architecture and Its Impact on Global Liquidity: Intermediation Risk and Structural Fragility
This paper examines global liquidity, repo market complexities, carry trade risks, and structural fragilities within the international financial architecture.
What it examines
This paper examines global financial system fragility. It studies how funding, balance sheets, and collateral shape liquidity using tools like FX swaps and repo markets. Using insights from monetary plumbing and market microstructure, it explores carry trade effects and intermediation risks, aiming to reveal hidden connections in global liquidity.
What it concludes
The paper shows that global liquidity depends on cheap funding and effective intermediation. Risky assets like CLOs and safe assets like Treasuries can trigger instability under stress. It recommends that central banks enhance market support, offering insights for policies aimed at preventing systemic crises and improving financial stability.
Evidence objects
New research shows global liquidity flows driven by complex funding channels, where safe assets like U.S. Treasuries and risky instruments such as CLOs unexpectedly trigger systemic stress under pressure significantly.
