    Bringing together a number of perspectives on the Japanese housing system, Housing and Social Transition in Japan provides a comprehensive, challenging and theoretically developed account of the dynamic role of the housing system during a period of unprecedented social and economic change in one of the most enigmatic social, political, and economic systems of the modern world. While Japan demonstrates many of the characteristics of some western housing and social systems, including mass homeownership and consumption-based lifestyles, extensive economic growth and rapid urban modernization has been achieved in balance with traditional social values and the maintenance of the family system. Helpfully divided into three sections, Housing and Social Transition in Japan: explores the dynamics of the development of the housing system in post-war Japan deals with social issues related to housing in terms of social aging, family relations, gender and inequality addresses the Japanese housing system and social change in relation to comparative and theoretical frameworks. As well as providing challenges and insights for the academic community at large, this book also provides a good introduction to the study of Japan and its housing, economic, social and welfare system generally.

    This paper analyzes banks' usage of CDS. Combining bank-firm syndicated loan data with a unique EU-wide dataset on bilateral CDS positions, we find that stronger banks in terms of capital, funding and profitability tend to hedge more. We find no evidence of banks using the CDS market for capital relief. Banks are more likely to hedge exposures to relatively riskier borrowers and less likely to sell CDS protection on domestic firms. Lead arrangers tend to buy more protection, potentially exacerbating asymmetric information problems. Dealer banks seem insensitive to firm risk, and hedge more than non-dealers when they are more profitable. These results allow for a better understanding of banks' credit risk management.

    We analyze the optimality of macroprudential policies in an environment where the role of the banking sector is to efficiently allocate liquid assets across firms. Informational frictions in the banking sector can lead to an interbank market freeze. Firms react to the breakdown of the banking system by inefficiently accumulating liquid assets by themselves. This reduces the demand for bank loans and bank profits, which further disrupts the financial sector and increases the probability of a freeze, inducing firms to hoard even more liquid assets. Liquidity panics provide a new rationale for stricter liquidity requirements, as this policy alleviates the informational frictions in the banking sector and paradoxically can end up increasing aggregate investment. On the contrary, policies encouraging bank lending can have the opposite effect.

    This in-depth review (IDR) analyses the evolution of the Netherland's vulnerabilities related to high private debt levels and a large current account surplus, which has crossborder relevance, and possibly newly emerging risks. This year's IDR, which follows the 2024 Alert Mechanism Report (AMR) published in November 2023, assesses the persistence or unwinding of the vulnerabilities identified last year, potential emerging risks, and relevant policy progress and policy options that could be considered for the future. Given the size of the Dutch economy and its interlinkages with the other EU Member States, these vulnerabilities have a cross-border relevance.

    This in-depth review (IDR) analyses the evolution of Sweden's vulnerabilities related to the real estate market and high private debt and - possibly - newly emerging risks. This year's IDR, which follows the 2024 Alert Mechanism Report (AMR) published in November 2023, assesses the persistence or unwinding of the vulnerabilities identified last year, potential emerging risks, and relevant policy progress and policy options that could be considered for the future. Sweden's economy contracted in 2023 due to rising interest rates and high inflation and is set to broadly stabilise in 2024. High inflation and the subsequent monetary policy tightening, combined with the prevalence of variable interest rates and high household debt, pushed down household consumption and housing construction. Housing construction in the rental sector also suffered from the stricter financial conditions for commercial real estate (CRE) companies. Overall investment is estimated to have decreased by 1.2% in 2023, driven by a decline in housing construction.

    This in-depth review (IDR) analyses the evolution of Spain's vulnerabilities related to high private, government and external debt, which have cross-border relevance, and possibly newly emerging risks. This year's IDR, which follows the 2024 Alert Mechanism Report (AMR) published in November 2023, assesses the persistence or unwinding of the vulnerabilities identified last year, potential emerging risks, and relevant policy progress and policy options that could be considered for the future. Given the size of the Spanish economy and its interlinkages with the other EU Member States, these vulnerabilities have a cross-border relevance. The Spanish economy is estimated to have expanded by 2.5% in 2023 and is projected to continue to grow in 2024, albeit at a slower pace than last year. The strong growth outturn posted in 2023 was underpinned by the very positive labour market developments and the pick-up of wages sustaining private consumption, as well as the positive contribution from net exports and public consumption. Real GDP growth is forecast to moderate in 2024 to 1.7%, according to the Commission's Winter 2024 Interim Forecast, due to the weaker economic situation in Spain's main trading partners and to the lagged impact of recent years' interest rate hikes on aggregate demand. Consumption and investment, driven respectively by further real purchasing power gains for households, and the continued implementation of Spain's Recovery and Resilience Plan (RRP), are set to be the main drivers of r economic expansion. GDP growth is expected to accelerate again in 2025, to 2.0%. Headline inflation decelerated to 3.4% in 2023, largely thanks to the continued drop in energy prices throughout the year. Underlying price pressures eased gradually in 2023, to 5.8% on average, as the pass-through of high energy prices to other items, especially food and services, showed signs of fading only from the last quarter of 2023 onwards. Harmonised Index of Consumer Prices (HICP) inflation is set to decline further this year, to 3.2% on average (with underlying inflation projected to be 3.3%), despite the upward pressure of the expected phasing out of most government measures implemented to mitigate the impact of high energy prices.

    This in-depth review (IDR) analyses the extent of Slovakia's vulnerabilities related to cost competitiveness, external accounts, house prices and household debt. Last year, an in-depth review was undertaken for Slovakia, and the Commission concluded that Slovakia was not experiencing imbalances, as its vulnerabilities seemed overall contained in the near future and were expected to ease as economic conditions normalised. This year's IDR, which follows the 2024 Alert Mechanism Report (AMR)published in November 2023, again examines these, and any newly emerging vulnerabilities, and their implications.

    This in-depth review (IDR) analyses the evolution of Italy's vulnerabilities related to high government debt and weak productivity growth, in a context of labour market fragilities and some weaknesses in financial markets, and possibly newly emerging risks. Italy was identified with excessive imbalances in 2023, over the last annual cycle of surveillance under the Macroeconomic Imbalance Procedure. This year's IDR, which follows the 2024 Alert Mechanism Report (AMR) published in November 2023, assesses the persistence or unwinding of the vulnerabilities identified last year, potential emerging risks, and relevant policy progress and policy options that could be considered for the future.

    The Greek economy has experienced low levels of corporate investment for many years. The Loan Facility is a component of Greece's Recovery and Resilience Plan (RRP), in the context of the EU-wide NextGenerationEU initiative. Worth about EUR 18 billion, it is the largest measure funded by the EU across all RRPs in terms of percentage of national GDP. The instrument was designed to tackle this critical issue of low investment by facilitating lending to the corporate sector. This paper presents the main features of the Loan Facility from its launch in mid-2022 to the first quarter of 2024. During this period, the loans issued in this context accounted for more than one fifth of new corporate lending in Greece. We find that the terms of the Loan Facility are more favourable than market terms, which has contributed to mitigate the impact of rising interest rates and to support corporate credit demand. We estimate the price (interest rate) advantage at an average of 4.1 percentage points, which is higher for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). The paper also gives a first assessment of the instrument's economic impact based on data available and simulations, by using the European Commission's QUEST model. Simulations suggest a sizable positive impact in Greece: private investment may increase significantly and the cumulative impact on GDP between 2022 and 2030 is estimated to reach 5.3% compared to a no-Loan-Facility scenario. The overall impact remains dependent on the pursuit of favourable framework conditions, such as sustained demand. Further structural improvements in investment conditions would be important to prolong the legacy of the Loan Facility beyond its lifetime.

    Proposals to include adjustments such as brown penalising and green supporting factors in the prudential regulation are meant to direct bank lending towards environmentally friendly projects. However, such adjustments can blur the lines between prudential credit risk assessment and environmental objectives. Favouring green projects, although clearly socially responsible in the long term, may channel bank lending towards excessively risky assets in the short term and provide a distorted picture of the true financial health of the bank. We adopt a principal-agent approach to formalise this trade-off and highlight its impact on bank lending. We also show that - in the presence of investor pressures or uncertainty of green asset returns - banks could decide to redirect lending towards green projects without direct regulatory intervention as formulated in the pillar I framework.

    In recent years, banks have constantly faced new risks that need to be assessed. The COVID-19 pandemic itself revealed that health risks and related restrictions can threaten the solvency of borrowers. After this threat was managed with the help of public support, a stream of other novel risks emerged, like energy supply, geopolitical stability, high interest rates, inflation, and climate change. And since the list of such novel risks is unlikely to be exhaustive, it is only reasonable to expect further surprises. This new risk environment poses a significant challenge to banking supervisors, who draw on a traditional supervisory framework largely reliant on historical data series. But such data series lack scope for dealing with risks looming large on the horizon. For this reason, ECB Banking Supervision places a particular focus on supervisory tools and regulations offering a forward-looking perspective. If properly applied, they allow banks to prepare for and cushion against those risks. One of the areas the ECB is looking into is expected loan loss provisioning under IFRS 9. The accounting requirements are principle-based and require comprehensive consideration of forward-looking information. The resulting provisions impact prudential capital ratios, so adequate accounting provisions for novel risks also act as a prudential safeguard should these risks materialise. While the ECB is not an accounting supervisor, it has been granted a prudential mandate to challenge and influence banks' provisioning practices when there is a particular prudential concern about adequate risk coverage. The topic of IFRS 9 provisioning was also mentioned in the ECB's supervisory priorities for 2022-2024.

    This paper analyses the impact of lending standards for residential real estate (RRE) loans on default rates, using a novel loan-level dataset from the European DataWarehouse (EDW) that covers eight euro area countries. To the best of the authors' knowledge, this paper is the first to use, for this purpose, a consistent set of loan-level data on loans originated in multiple euro area countries. Previous literature has used either national loan-level data, which does not allow for cross-country comparisons, or aggregate cross-country data. The dataset is first explored through an extensive descriptive analysis and this is followed by static probit regressions. The findings confirm the key influence of lending standards – in particular, loan-to-value and loan-to-income ratios at origination, original loan maturity and borrower employment status – on loan default rates. The impact of other variables, such as interest rate fixation and payment type, varies depending on the country of loan origination. These results are particularly relevant for microprudential supervisors in their ongoing assessment of banks' credit policies. The highlighted country specificities should be taken into account in macroprudential policymaking.

    Using a novel quarterly dataset on debt financing of non-financial corporations, this paper provides the first empirical evaluation of the relative importance of loan and market-based finance (MBF) supply shocks on business cycles in the euro area as a whole and in its five largest countries. In a Bayesian VAR framework, the two credit supply shocks are identified via sign and inequality restrictions. The results suggest that both loan supply and MBF supply play an important role for business cycles. For the euro area, the explanatory power of the two credit supply shocks for GDP growth variations is comparable. However, there is heterogeneity across countries. In particular, in Germany and France, the explanatory power of MBF supply shocks exceeds that of loan supply shocks. Since MBF is mostly provided by non-bank financial intermediaries, the findings suggest that strengthening their resilience | such as through an enhanced macroprudential framework | would support GDP growth.

    Nonbank lenders have been playing an increasingly important role in the supply of debt financing, especially post Great Recession. These nonbank financial institutions not only participate in syndicated loans to large businesses but also act as direct lenders to small and mid-sized businesses, providing loans previously were primarily supplied by banks. Moreover, the composition of bondholders has changed, with mutual funds and other less regulated entities having gained nontrivial market shares. What is the extent of nonbank lending? How important are the distortions associated with the varying degrees of regulatory oversight for banks that differentially limit risk-taking across alternative sources of credit? What are the financial stability implications of this transformed landscape of credit markets? This selective review addresses these important questions and also discusses how banks and nonbanks helped provide liquidity to the nonfinancial sector during the COVID-19 pandemic shock

    The paper discusses state, regulative framework, and recent developments in leveraging access to finance for micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) in the Kyrgyz Republic through global value chain (GVC) examples in the Kyrgyz Republic. Access to finance in the Kyrgyz Republic is growing and demonstrates improvement of financial inclusion of companies SME sector in the Kyrgyz Republic as well as the sector of individual entrepreneurs and peasant farmers. Four selected value chains in agriculture, industry and service sector demonstrate the gaps in the access to finance of the MSME entities in the value chains supply to export markets. Some practical recommendations are proposed, aiming to decrease financial gaps for the SME sector in building resilient global value chain supplies.The paper outlines the contribution of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to Azerbaijan's economy, their access to finance, and the role of value chains in ensuring financing. The paper preparation process has shown that SMEs mainly benefit from bank loans, whereas there are some institutional, legislative, cultural and geographical factors limiting their access to finance. The low financial literacy rate of SME owner/managers and higher interest rates offered by banks are among the factors restricting SME access to finance. The government has strengthened legislation-in particular relating to institutions-in recent years to improve SME access to finance, but the effectiveness of this move is insufficient. This paper comprises eight sections: The contribution of SMEs to Azerbaijan's economy and the status of the financial sector; the financial inclusivity of SMEs; financial literacy levels; institutional, regulative, gender, cultural factors restricting SME finance; the structure of domestic value chain and Azerbaijan's role in global value chains; financial analysis of value chains; national strategies for SME finance; and key policy recommendations.

    This study documents significant differences in the interbank market lending and borrowing levels across countries. We argue that the existing differences in interbank market usage can be explained by the trust of the market participants in the stability of the country's banking sector and counterparties, proxied by the history of banking crises and failures. Specifically, banks originating from a country that has lower level of trust tend to have lower interbank borrowing. Using a proprietary dataset on bilateral exposures, we investigate the Euro Area interbank network and find the effect of trust relies on the network structure of interbank markets. Core banks acting as interbank intermediaries in the network are more significantly influenced by trust in obtaining interbank funding, while being more exposed in a community can mitigate the negative effect of low trust. Country-level institutional factors might partially substitute for the limited trust and enhance interbank activity.

    We show that negative monetary policy rates induce systemic banks to reach-for-yield. For identification, we exploit the introduction of negative deposit rates by the European Central Bank in June 2014 and a novel securities register for the 26 largest euro area banking groups. Banks with more customer deposits are negatively affected by negative rates, as they do not pass negative rates to retail customers, in turn investing more in securities, especially in those yielding higher returns. Effects are stronger for less capitalized banks, private sector (financial and non-financial) securities and dollar-denominated securities. Affected banks also take higher risk in loans.

    Policymakers and donors have long viewed credit programs as salient means to develop the agriculture sector, especially the small-farm agriculture. Credit programs in the country have evolved from subsidized directed credit programs to a more market-based approach. There have been little to no studies that examine poor agricultural producers' access to credit and how it affects agricultural performance, especially in the context of Agrarian Reform Beneficiary Organization (ARBO) members. This policy study utilized primary data from the Baseline Survey of Project ConVERGE, a project of the Department of Agrarian Reform, to analyze the borrowing incidence among ARBO member households, particularly those engaged in farm production. It appears from the results of the study that: membership in an ARBO is associated with better credit access; borrowing ARBO agricultural households are better off than nonborrowing ARBO agricultural households; and farmer associations/cooperatives are among the top sources of agricultural credit in the countryside aside from microfinance institutions; and Certificate of Land Ownership Award (CLOA)-holding ARBO agricultural households have higher borrowing incidence than the average ARBO agricultural households. Strengthening the capacity of credit retailers through trainings, especially in leadership and credit management, is needed to further improve their lending performance.

    This study investigates the underlying reasons for banks' continued support of fossil fuel-based firms and examines the role of public guaranteed loans (PGLs) in redirecting resources towards greener economic activities, thereby facilitating the climate transition process. Using a unique pan-European credit register dataset, we combine supervisory bank data with firm-level greenhouse gas emission data and financial information. Our analysis yields three main findings. Firstly, European banks perceive lending to green companies as riskier compared to their brown counterparts, a phenomenon we term as the "green-transition risk." Secondly, we provide evidence that during the COVID-19 pandemic, European banks have strategically leveraged PGLs to channel resources towards environmentally sustainable activities, thereby augmenting the proportion of green loans in their portfolios and partially shifting the inherent "green-transition risk" to European governments and citizens. Lastly, our investigation reveals a banking preference for awarding PGLs to financially robust green firms over less profitable, highly indebted green firms, which could pose significant challenges for green businesses requiring financial support during the COVID-19 crisis.
