The trouble is that if macro pru does not work, the interest rate would have to serve two opposing goals economic recovery and financial stability.

The observation that recoveries following a financial crisis are different suggests that standard macroeconomic policies might not work as one would usually expect.

BRUSSELS MEXICO CITY Since the global economic downturn began in 2008, debate has centered on the macroeconomic strategies and instruments used to address the crisis and foster recovery.

Policymakers thus feel justified in using all available macroeconomic levers to achieve a recovery that resembles those of the past.

As Carmen Reinhart and Kenneth Rogoff argue, recoveries from crises that result from over leveraged balance sheets are slow and typically resistant to traditional macroeconomic stimulus.

The housing sector has started to recover over the past five quarters, but from such a severely depressed level that its growth has had little impact on the overall economy.

These are an anemic, below trend, U shaped recovery in advanced economies, as firms and households continue to repair their balance sheets a stronger, V shaped recovery in emerging market countries, owing to stronger macroeconomic, financial, and policy fundamentals.

Macroeconomics and institutions

This recovery has been much weaker than previous ones because of fundamental differences in the cause of the downturn and in the policies chosen to achieve recovery.

Today, aggregate demand in advanced economies is still recovering from the global financial crisis, while systemically important emerging economies like Brazil and China are tapping their policy brakes in order to counter economic overheating.

And that is why economic recovery has progressed much more slowly than anyone expected (in some countries, it has not come at all).
