TheChallenge
Withglobaleconomicuncertaintiesrisingandinternationalfinancialcrisesbreakingoutfrequently,itisofgreatsignificancetostrengthentheGlobalFinancialSafetyNet(GFSN).ThecurrentGFSNincludesfourparts:thefirstisforeignexchangereservesatthenationallevel;thesecondisbilateralswapagreements(BSAs)betweencountries;thethirdisregionalfinancingagreements(RFAs);andthefourthistheIMFatthemultilaterallevel.
ThecurrentGFSNismorefragmentedthaninthepast,andindividualcountriesandregionshaveaccesstodifferentsizesandtypesoffinancialassistance(Denbeeetal2016).ThecurrentGFSNcannotguaranteethestabilityoftheglobalfinancialsystem,norcanitcopewithsystemicfinancialrisks,especiallyaftertheexperiencesoftheglobalfinancialcrisisandtheCOVID-19epidemic.ThecurrentGFSNismoreofasuboptimalpatchworkthanasystematicdesign(Shafik,2015),anditsstructureisfacingthefollowingfivechallenges.
First,accumulatingforeignexchangereservesisinefficient,andtheriskofbeingsanctionedbypowerfulcountriesliketheUSisgraduallyrising.Nonetheless,individualcountries’foreignexchangereservesremainthelargestcomponentoftheGFSN.
However,reserveaccumulationbringsseveralproblems.First,thecostofholdingreservesishigh,andthereturnfromitislow.Mostofreserveassetsarelow-yield,low-riskforeigngovernmentbonds,andtheyareexposedtobothvaluationandforeignexchangerisks.Forexample,from2022to2023,theFederalReserveraisedinterestrates13timesinarow,causingasharppricedeclineinU.S.Treasurybonds.Emergingmarketcountries(EMEs),whichinvestalargeproportionofforeignexchangereservesinU.S.Treasurybonds,sufferedlargevaluationlosses.Second,foreignexchangereservesare

distributedveryunevenlyacrossdifferentregions.Moreover,onsomeoccasions,eventhosecountrieswithabundantreservesarereluctanttousethemtointerveneintheforeignexchangemarket.Forexample,duringtheglobalfinancialcrisis,nineofthelargestemergingmarketeconomiesrefrainedentirelyfromusingtheirreserves(Shafik,2015).Themajorreasonwasthatthoseeconomiesdeemedforeignexchangereservesasthemostimportantself-insurancetool,andtheywerereluctanttousethesereservesunlessabsolutelycompelled.Third,theriskofsanctionhasincreased.AftertheoutbreakoftheRussia-Ukraineconflict,theUnitedStateshasfrozentheRussianCentralBank’sforeignreserveassets.Afterthat,otherEMEsbegantoworryaboutthesafetyoftheirownoverseasassets.Asaresult,EMEshavebeguntoreducetheirinvestmentsinU.S.Treasurybondsandincreasetheirholdingsofgold.
Second,theFederalReserveswaplinesmayoccupythecorepositionoftheGFSN,replacingtheIMFandotherregionalfinancialarrangements.DuringtheUSsubprimecrisisandEuropeansovereigndebtcrisis,theFedconveyeddollarsthroughbilateralUSdollarswapsinordertoalleviatefundingliquidityshortagesintheoffshoredollarmarket.ThesenewestablishedbilateralFederalReserveswaplinesprovidedtimelyliquiditysupport,helpingstabilizeglobalfinancialmarketsandcross-bordercapitalflows,avoidingafull-blowndollarfundingcrisis.Wehadasimilarstoryduringthe2020pandemic.Theseepisodeshighlightedtheimportanceofaninternationallenderoflastresort(Carstens,2021).However,onlyafewcountriesbenefitedfromtheseswaplines(McCauleyandSchenk,2020).Fedcurrencyswapsareexclusive,affectingonlydevelopedcountrieswithcloseeconomic,trade,financialandmilitaryrelationstotheUS,liketheECB,BankofEngland,BankofJapanandBankofCanada.AmongtheEMEs,onlyBrazilandMexicohadtheopportunitytoestablishacurrencyswapagreementwiththeUnitedStates.MajorEMEssuchasChinaandIndiacannotparticipate

init(ZhangandChen,2023),whichisproblematic.AlthoughtheEuropeanCentralBank(ECB)andthePeople'sBankofChinaarealsoestablishingcurrencyswaps,theyarenotaseffectiveastheFedcurrencyswapinsolvingliquidityshortages.Forexample,aftertheoutbreakoftheEuropeandebtcrisis,alargeamountoffundsflowedfromfinanciallyfragilememberstatestorelativelystablememberstates.Thebalanceofpaymentsofeachmemberstatebecameseriouslypolarized.Commercialbankshadtoturntotheirnationalcentralbankstomakeupforthegapincross-borderfundsettlement.ThisresultedinarapidexpansionofimbalancesintheECB'sclearingsystem.Although,itisalsotruethatTarget2helpedtocontainthecrisis.Thus,inthefuture,weneedaresilientglobalfinancialsafetynetthatdoesnotrelysolelyontheFederalReserve(Carstens,2021).
Third,Regionalfinancingarrangementslacktheabilitytoconductasoundandcomprehensivemacro-economicandmacro-prudentialsupervision.TheoccurrenceofmajorinternationalfinancialcrisesalwayspromptstheestablishmentanddevelopmentofRFAs.However,oncethecrisishaspassed,thedevelopmentoftheseRFAsslowsdown.ComparedwiththeEuropeanStabilityMechanism,theChiangMaiInitiativeMultilateralisation(CMIM)processfacesthefollowingproblems.First,theCMIM'sfundingisinsufficient,anditsoperationefficiencyislow.Moreover,theCMIMloanmainlyfocusesonshort-termfinancingneeds,andtheloanmaturityisrelativelyshort(AsianDevelopmentBank,2019).Second,limitedbytheinsufficientsupervisioncapacityandinordertoavoidmoralhazard,theCMIMrequiresthatwhenthefinancingexceedsacertainproportion,theborrowingcountrymustabidebytheIMFloanconditionalities.Third,duetothedistrustbetweencountriesintheregion,itisdifficulttodevelopatrulysufficientandindependentregionalfinancialsafetynetwork(Gaoetal2024).

Fourth,TheIMFfacesseriousproblemsinthefieldsoffundingscale,resourcecomposition,andquotaallocation,whichweakenitscorepositioninthecurrentGFSN.(1)TheIMF’scurrentloancapacityisinsufficienttodealwithglobalsystemicfinancialcrises.(2)TheproportionofIMFquota-basedpermanentfundingtooverallfundingistoolow.Inotherwords,IMFloansrelyheavilyontemporaryfundingsources,whichwillhurttheIMF’slegitimacyinthelongrun.(3)ThecurrentstatusandpowerofemergingmarketsanddevelopingcountriesarenotfullyreflectedintheIMFgovernancestructure.ThevotingpoweroftheIMFdependsonthequotaofthememberstates,andthequotasofsomelargeemergingmarketsanddevelopingcountriesaresignificantlyunrepresented(Gao,2023).(4)TheIMF’sloanconditionalpoliciesarerelativelystringent.In2009,IMFBoardapprovedamajoroverhaultotheFund’slendingframeworkbymodernizingIMFconditionality,introducinganewflexiblecreditline,enhancingtheflexibilityoftheFund’sregularstand-bylendingarrangement,doublingaccesslimits,adaptingandsimplifyingcostandmaturitystructuresforitslending,andeliminatingfacilitiesthatwereseldomused.However,conditionalitypoliciesstilllimittheloanavailabilityofborrowingcountries.
Fifth,CentralBankDigitalCurrencies(CBDCs)couldbringunprecedentedriskstotheGFSN.Withoutappropriatesafeguards,especiallyforcountrieswithopencapitalaccounts,capitalflowsfacilitatedbyCBDCmayleadtoanincreasingdemandforGFSNresourcesbyintroducingnewshocksoramplifyingexistingshocksviacurrencysubstitution,exchangeratedepreciation,andbankruns.Inturn,thisnewphenomenoncouldinstigatepolicymakerstoexpandtheGFSNasawaytomitigateshocks.Finally,evenifitisimproved,theGFSNmayincreaseinsizebutbecomemoreunevenandfragmented(Kimetal,2024).

TheG20’sRole
TheG20playsakeyroleinpromotingpoliticalconsensusamongtheworld'slargesteconomiesandshouldbecommittedtoconsolidatingtheG20’scoreroleinglobalfinancialgovernance.MembersoftheG20hold81%oftheIMF’squotasand78%ofitsvotingrights.Sincetheglobalfinancialcrisisin2008,theG20hasplayedanactiveroleinpromotingIMFquotareform(Gao,2023).
The“G20NewDelhiLeaders'Declaration”issuedattheG20SummitinSeptember2023reiteratedtheimportanceofestablishingastrong,quota-basedandadequatelyresourcedIMF.Infuturereforms,theG20willcontinuetoguidetheagendaofIMFquotareform.TheG20welcomesdiscussionsonthepotentialmacro-financialimplicationsarisingfromtheintroductionandadoptionofCentralBankDigitalCurrencies(CBDCs),notablyoncross-borderpaymentsaswellasontheinternationalmonetaryandfinancialsystem(G20,2023).
TheG20shouldprovideacooperationplatformforpromotingthecooperationofglobalfinancialsecuritynetworksatdifferentlevels.DrivenbytheG20,globalmacroeconomicpolicycooperationhasgraduallystrengthened.TheG20FinanceMinistersandthePresidentsoftheCentralBanks,andtheG20summitaregraduallyroutineandmechanized.TheG20isroutinelypromotingthereformofinstitutionsdominatedbytheIMF.Forsometimetocome,theG20shouldbecommittedtoleadingtheglobalfinancialgovernancereformalongtherighttrack.Forthis,theG20shouldcontinuetopromotethereformofinternationalfinancialinstitutionsandbuildamoreequitableandinclusiveGFSNtoavoidtherisksoffragmentation.

RecommendationtotheG20
InordertobuildamoreequitableandinclusiveGFSN,thecoordinationamongtheglobalstandard-settingbodies,regulators,centralbanks,andmultilateralandrelevantprivate-sectorinstitutionswillbecritical(Kimetal,2024).Toachievethis,certainactionsarenecessary:
1.PromotingIMFreform.
TheG20shouldbecommittedtopromotingtheIMFasthecoreoftheglobalfinancialsafetynetandplayingthekeyroleinrespondingtointernationalfinancialcrisis.First,theG20shouldencouragetheIMFtoincreasecapital,reformquotas,issuemorespecialdrawingrightsandexpandthescopeofitsuse.Second,theG20shouldcontinuetoincreasetheproportionofofficialsandscholarsfromEMEswhoserveasseniorofficialsoftheIMF,sothatitcanmorefullyreflectthevoicesanddemandsofEMEs(ChenandZhang,2021).Third,theG20shouldencouragetheIMFtodirectdebtrestructuringandreliefinitiativesaimedatbuildingabroadersovereigndebtrestructuringsystem,andtoreformtheemergencyfinancingmechanismfromaprocyclicaltocountercyclicalbasedarrangement(GallagherandGao,2021).Asproposedby

2.Strengtheningandimprovingregionalmonetarycooperationarrangements
InAsia,theG20shouldcontinuetopromotetheCMIMreforminordertoimproveitspracticabilityandeffectiveness.Inordertomakeupforthegapbetweenthesupplyanddemandofregionalliquidityfunds,enhancethelevelofregionalfinancialintegration,andimprovethemulti-levelglobalfinancialsafetynet,itisnecessaryforCMIMtobeupgradedfromthecurrentstagetoaregionalmonetaryfund.However,theconstructionofaregionalmonetaryfundneedstofollowacertainpath.Basedonthefollowingcriteria:themeasurementofthefund’sscale,thedesignofloaninstruments,theinstitutionalconstructionofgovernanceandeconomicsurveillancefunctions,andtheexplorationofhigher-levelregionalmonetarycooperationarethekeystodeterminingthefeasibilityofregionalmonetaryfunds(Gaoetal,2024).Thus,otherRFAsshouldcarrysimilarreforms.Inthisway,theG20couldcreateastrongandmorereliableglobalfinancialsafetynetbystitchingtogetheritsfragmentedregionalnetworks(G20,2018).Inaddition,theG20shouldbecommittedtopromotingthecollaborationofcurrencyswapnetworksatdifferentlevels.
3.GuardagainstnewrisksbroughtbyCBDCs.
