Technological Advancement Impact to Monetary Policies
Development in the Information Technology sector and rising adaptability of the labor market in the past years has unsurprisingly curb inflation which could significantly affect monetary policy according to the ECB Executive board member Yves Mersch on Monday. He mentioned that advancement in logistics allowed the growth of value chains and e-commerce globally. It has improved the transparency of pricing domestically and across countries.

These modifications in labor sector could indicate that inflation occurs at a quicker rate with a lower employment in the past that affects the relationship between employment and wage growth and eventually affect the monetary policy. Hence, Mersch points out how improvement in technology reacts to “shocks”, the transition from the exchange rate movement into inflation and its influence from the local community towards global advancement and rise in prices.

These raises concern on the efficacy of ECB’s policies to bring back its price growth to its target. Hence, actions are planned for long-term financial management to meet the obstacle come along the way. Although, these policies are deemed to be unnecessary when conditions stabilize.

Positive Outlook for Major Central Banks in 2018

The U.S. Federal Reserve reduced its bond holdings for the year and began to narrow down its 2.3 trillion euro bond-buying stimulus next year amid a better economic situation. This could lead to an oversupply in sovereign debt issuance in major economic for the next four years. At the same time, this would increase borrowing cost with a larger source to buy from.

This could translate to the improvement of net sovereign bond issuance next year from the United States, Japan, and the eurozone following purchases from the central bank for the first time in 3 years. Thinking back, the net supply has been performing poorly over the past few years that aids bond yields. Analysts see the potential in even the slightest reduction of the volume of bond yields implying a bigger supply for the market that is not accounted in pricing.
