AMU Deviation Indicator for Coordinated Exchange Rate Policies in East Asia and its relation with effective exchange rates Eiji Ogawa and Junko Shimizu Hitotsubashi University and RIETI and Meikai University December 8, 2006 TIER-RIETI Workshop 1 Motivation Regional Cooperation and Surveillance process Chiang Mai Initiative and Swap Agreement Regular meetings as ASEAN+3 Finance Deputy Ministers Meeting for surveillance Ogawa and Shimizu (2005) proposed the creation of an Asian Monetary Unit (AMU) and AMU Deviation Indicators for East Asian currencies in order to contribute to coordinated exchange rate policies in East Asia. How can we actually use the AMU and AMU deviation Indicators for stabilization of effective exchange rates? December 8, 2006 TIER-RIETI Workshop 2 Lessons from the Asian Currency Crisis (1) (2) (3) East Asian countries had the following problems: Double mismatch of financial institutions’ B/S in terms of currencies and maturities Officially or de facto dollar pegging exchange rate policy No regional financial cooperation in East Asia for currency crisis prevention and management December 8, 2006 TIER-RIETI Workshop 3 Two initiatives for regional monetary and financial cooperation Chiang Mai Initiative (CMI) of ASEAN+3 Finance Minister Meeting (ASEAN+3) (1) Establish a network of currency swap agreements for currency crisis managements Conduct a surveillance process for currency crisis prevention (2) Asian Bond Market Initiative (ABMI) of ASEAN+3 and Asian Bond Fund (ABF) Initiative of EMEAP (1) Foster and develop domestic bond markets Promote cross-boarder transactions of local currency denominated and regional monetary unit denominated bonds (2) 4 Current problem: Coordination failure in exchange rate systems (1) (2) (3) (4) A variety of exchange rate systems among East Asian countries (IMF classification) Flexible: Japan, Korea, Philippines Managed floating: Thailand, Singapore, Indonesia, New ASEAN Countries Fixed: China and Malaysia (Managed floating since July 2005) Currency Board (Strictly fixed): Hong Kong and Brunei Possibility of misalignments of intra-regional exchange rates among East Asian currencies caused by the US$ depreciation under the coordination failure of exchange rate systems December 8, 2006 TIER-RIETI Workshop 5 Coordination of exchange rate policy in East Asia East Asian countries have strong economic relationships with each other within the intra-region as well as the United States and European countries. It is important for them to stabilize effective exchange rates. It is the most desirable for East Asian countries to stabilize both exchange rates among the intra-regional currencies and their exchange rates against outside currencies such as the US$ and the euro. -> stabilize exchange rates of East Asian currencies against a common G3 currency (US$, euro, and JPY) basket It is the second best that they should stabilize intraregional exchange rate in a situation where regional production networks have been establishing. -> stabilize exchange rates of East Asian currency against a common regional monetary unit. December 8, 2006 TIER-RIETI Workshop 6 Purposes for RMU RMUs can serve as a useful benchmark in monitoring foreign exchange market in order to judge whether the currency is overvalued or undervalued compared to the neighbour countries with strong trade relationship. Ogawa and Shimizu (2005) proposed an Asian Monetary Unit (AMU) Joint Project of Hi-Stat and RIETI for AMU and AMU Deviation Indicator. (see in websites http://www.rieti.go.jp/users/amu/en/index.html of RIETI ) consists of ASEAN+3 currencies, calculating the weight of each currency by using trade volume and GDP measured at PPP appropriate in monitoring misalignment and volatility of the relative value of Asian currencies within the region and against the major currencies outside the region. December 8, 2006 TIER-RIETI Workshop 7 Objectives Calculate Asian Monetary Unit (AMU), a weighted average of the East Asian currencies. Calculate a deviation indicator (AMU Deviation Indicator) from benchmark rate for the estimated AMU. Investigate relationships between the AMU Deviation Indicators and the effective exchange rates for each East Asian currency. December 8, 2006 TIER-RIETI Workshop 8 Contents Sec.2 Calculation of the AMU Sec.3 Nominal/Real AMU Deviation Indicators of each East Asian currency Sec.4 Relationship of effective exchange rate with AMU and AMU Deviation Indicators for each East Asian currency Sec.5 Conclusion December 8, 2006 TIER-RIETI Workshop 9 Methodology to calculate the AMU Member countries ASEAN10 + Japan, China and Korea Period from January 1999 to June 2005 To follow the methodology to calculate the ECU 䋨see Tanaka and Jin, 2003䋩 December 8, 2006 TIER-RIETI Workshop 10 The basket weights of AMU The basket weights based on ¾ the countries’ respective shares of GDP measured at PPP ¾ the trade volumes (the sum of exports and imports) in the total of sampled countries for the relevant country. We use the average of both data for the last three years (2001-2003). December 8, 2006 TIER-RIETI Workshop 11 Data Trade data are from Direction of Trade Statistics, IMF. GDP measured at PPP are from World Development Report, World Bank. Exchange rates are from Datastream. December 8, 2006 TIER-RIETI Workshop 12 AMU in terms of US$-euro We should use a basket currency composed by the US dollar and the euro (US$-euro) as a numeraire currency to estimate AMU. We apply trade shares with the US and the euro area (EU12) for total of the sampled East Asian countries as basket weights of US$-euro. (US dollar : euro = 65% : 35%) December 8, 2006 TIER-RIETI Workshop 13 To choose the benchmark period for AMU The benchmark period is defined as the following: ¾ the total trade balance of member countries ¾ the total trade balance of the member countries (excluding Japan) with Japan ¾ the total trade balance of member countries with the rest of world should be relatively close to zero. The benchmark exchange rate for each currency is defined in terms of the AMU during 2000-2001. December 8, 2006 TIER-RIETI Workshop 14 December 8, 2006 TIER-RIETI Workshop 15 December 8, 2006 TIER-RIETI Workshop 16 Weights of AMU based on GDP measured at PPP and Trade Volume US $ / euro We calculate an AMU with the weights based on “GDP measured at PPP” and “Trade volume” according to the following formula. AMU 0.0069 US $ / euro 7.4235 US $ / euro 2.7711US $ / euro BN $ CBR CNY 452.7871US $ / euro 30.5681US $ / euro 113.1459 US $ / euro IDR JPY KRW 5.9500 US $ / euro 0.1953US $ / euro 0.0239 US $ / euro LOK MLR MYK 1.3347 US $ / euro 0.1075 US $ / euro 2.0630 US $ / euro PLP SP $ TLB 243.0432 US $ / euro VTD December 8, 2006 TIER-RIETI Workshop 17 December 8, 2006 TIER-RIETI Workshop 18 How to calculate the Nominal Deviation Indicator Using the estimated AMU, we calculate the Nominal Deviation Indicator as follows: benchmark rate : each currency’s exchange rate in terms of AMU at the benchmark period actual exchange rate : exchange rate of each currency in terms of AMU which fluctuates as the each currency actually move Nominal Deviation Indicator (%) actual exchange rate of AMU a currency - benchmark exchange rate of AMU benchmark exchange rate of AMU a currency u100 a currency (1) December 8, 2006 TIER-RIETI Workshop 19 AMU Deviation Indicator from the Benchmark Rate(%) Deviation Indicator(%) The actual exchange rate in terms of the AMU is stronger than the Benchmark Rate in terms of the AMU. The actual exchange rate =the Benchmark Rate Jan 2001 May 2005 The actual exchange rate in terms of AMU is weaker than the Benchmark Rate in terms of the AMU. December 8, 2006 TIER-RIETI Workshop 20 December 8, 2006 TIER-RIETI Workshop 21 Nominal and Real Deviation Indicators We should take into account inflation rate differentials if we consider real effect of exchange rates on trade, FDI and real economic activities (real GDP). We calculate also deviation indicators in real terms by taking into account inflation rate differentials. December 8, 2006 TIER-RIETI Workshop 22 How to calculate Real Deviation Indicator We can calculate a Real AMU Deviation Indicator as follows: Rate of Change in Real AMU Deviation Indicatori Rate of Change in Nominal AMU Deviation Indicatori PAMU Pi PAMU : inflation rate in the AMU area P : inflation rate in country i. i We use CPI data to calculate the inflation rates. CPI of AMU: weighted CPI of member countries December 8, 2006 TIER-RIETI Workshop 23 December 8, 2006 TIER-RIETI Workshop 24 December 8, 2006 TIER-RIETI Workshop 25 Merits and Demerits of Nominal and Real indicators The nominal deviation indicator can be watched in real time while the real deviation indicator are available only in monthly basis. Considering effects of exchange rate on real economic activity, we should watch the deviation indicators in real term. Considering effects of exchange rate on monetary aspects, the nominal deviation indicators are enough to be concerned. We could use both nominal and real deviation indicators as an indicator for the surveillance. December 8, 2006 TIER-RIETI Workshop 26 Relationship of EER with AMU and AMU DI Does the combination of the AMU and a Nominal AMU Deviation Indicator of one currency correspond to its nominal effective exchange rate? We investigate how the movements of the AMU and the AMU Deviation Indicators reflect in the movements of effective exchange rates.

These results are due to the higher weights of both currencies in AMU. The coefficients on AMU DI are positive and significant for the seven East Asian currencies. These results indicate that the AMU DIs have positive relationship with their EER for some of the East Asian currencies. December 8, 2006 TIER-RIETI Workshop 32 Conclusion The strong relationships are found between the AMU or the AMU DI and the EER for some East Asian currencies. Accordingly, we should monitor both the AMU and the AMU DI in order to stabilize EER in terms of trader partners’ currencies. Although we cannot find strong relationship between them for some currencies.
