The recent global turmoil severely affected some developing economies. However, in general, these nations survived the crisis with less damage compared with advanced countries. The majority of developing countries did not experience a financial system collapse. What were the main factors behind their relatively better performance? We argue that the main reason was the relatively moderate financial account shocks, in terms of both magnitude and duration, experienced by developing economies during the global crisis. This was due to the fact that advanced countries could not fully serve their roles as safe havens during the recent global turmoil. Furthermore, developing countries enjoyed greater autonomy and legitimacy in implementing expansionary monetary and fiscal policies in an environment in which international cooperation partially met the need for an international lender of last resort. If the returns in advanced countries become more attractive, developing countries may face larger external financial shocks in future crises.

Can Financial Stability be Maintained in Developing Countries after the Global Crisis The Role of External Financial Shocks Cömert, Hasan (2014-01-01) In the recent global turmoil, even though some developing economies were severely affected, in general, developing countries survived the crisis with less damage than advanced countries. The majority of developing countries did not experience a financial system collapse. What are the main factors behind the solid performance of many developing countries in the recent crisis? This paper argues that the main reason is the fact that developing countries did not face a strong financial account shock, especially...
The Macroprudential supervision in the aftermath of the 2008 global financial crisis: the US example / Dervişler, Olgu; Yalman, Osman Galip; Department of Political Science and Public Administration (2015) In 2008, the world economies have come across with a severe economic depression which is one of the biggest economic crises in the history. In the aftermath of the 2008 Global Financial Crisis, the role of the surveillance mechanisms on the provision of financial robustness and soundness has been discussed by many scholars. In this period, the significance of monitoring, assessing and controlling the systemic risk has been emphasized by the policymakers. On the other hand, it has become a current issue that...
Do Stock Index Futures Affect Economic Growth? Evidence from 32 Countries Şendeniz Yüncü, İlkay; Aydoğan, Kürşat (2018-01-26) This article investigates the relationship between stock index futures markets development and economic growth using time-series methods for 32 developed and developing countries. Evidence of cointegration between stock index futures and real economy in 29 countries suggests the presence of co-movements among the variables, indicating long-run stationarity in those countries. Our findings show that there is Granger-causality from stock index futures markets development to economic growth for middle-income c...
MACROPRUDENTIAL POLICIES FOR SMALL OPEN ECONOMIES Karaşahin, Ramazan; Gaygısız Lajunen, Esma; Department of Economics (2022-10) Recent global financial crisis has made it crystal clear that solely price stability is not enough for macroeconomic stability. A new consensus underlining financial stability as a prerequisite for macroeconomic stability emerged. However, there is not agreement neither on the exact definition of financial stability nor on the appropriate tools to reach financial stability. Macroprudential policies are widely employed by policy makers for financial stability purposes following the global crisis, in particul...
Managing financial instability in emerging markets: A Keynesian perspective Akyüz, Yılmaz (Orta Doğu Teknik Üniversitesi (Ankara, Turkey), 2008-6) The Keynesian analysis of financial instability as developed by Hyman Minsky provides considerable insights into understanding the nature and dynamics of boom-bust cycles driven by international capital flows in emerging markets. Its main policy conclusion that financial control rather than macroeconomic policy holds the key to financial stability is equally valid. There is, however, need to develop a new approach to financial control and place greater emphasis on managing capital inflows than has hitherto ...
