    ISBN: 1484391039 , 9781484391037
    Series Statement: IMF Working Papers Working Paper No. 14/16
    Content: Labor markets in the Western Balkan countries (Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kosovo, Macedonia, Montenegro, and Serbia) are characterized by some of the highest unemployment and low employment rates in Europe. We analyze the poor labor market outcomes in these countries by comparison with the New Member States of the European Union and advanced European economies. Our findings suggest that long-lasting labor market weaknesses in the Western Balkans have structural roots: the institutional setup of the labor markets, labor cost factors, and especially the unfinished transition process. Finally, we offer policy recommendations for boosting job creation

    Content: Europe’s banking system is weighed down by high levels of non-performing loans (NPLs), which are holding down credit growth and economic activity. This discussion note uses a new survey of European country authorities and banks to examine the structural obstacles that discourage banks from addressing their problem loans. A three pillared strategy is advocated to remedy the situation, comprising: (i) tightened supervisory policies, (ii) insolvency reforms, and (iii) the development of distressed debt markets.

    Loss of Correspondent Banking Relationships in the Caribbean : Trends, Impact, and Policy Options (2017)

    Format: 1 online resource (47 pages)
    ISBN: 1-4843-2391-2 , 1-4843-2394-7
    Series Statement: IMF Working Papers
    Content: Banks across the Caribbean have lost important Correspondent Banking Relationships (CBRs). The macroeconomic impact has so far been limited, in part because banks either have multiple relationships or have been successful in replacing lost CBRs. However, the cost of services has increased substantially, some services have been cut back, and some sectors have experienced reduced access. Policy options to address multiple drivers, including lower profitability and risk aversion by global banks, require tailored actions by several stakeholders.
    Note: Cover -- CONTENTS -- ABSTRACT -- I. INTRODUCTION -- II. WHY DO CBRS MATTER? -- III. THE WITHDRAWAL OF CBRS - HOW SEVERE HAS IT BEEN? -- A. Global Trends -- B. Caribbean Developments -- C. Potential Factors Behind the Withdrawal of CBRs in the Caribbean -- IV. POLICY OPTIONS TO ADDRESS THE LOSS OF CBRS -- V. CONCLUSION -- ANNEX 1. MACROECONOMIC IMPLICATIONS OF A CONTINUED LOSS OF CBRS: AN ILLUSTRATIVE CASE FOR BELIZE -- ANNEX II. CASE STUDIES -- ANNEX III. AN ECONOMETRIC ANALYSIS OF THE DETERMINANTS OF THE WITHDRAWAL OF CBRS -- VI. ANNEX IV. IMF SURVEY.

    Problem Loans in the Caribbean: Determinants, Impact and Strategies for Resolution / (2017)

    ISBN: 1-4843-2702-0 , 1-4843-2704-7
    Series Statement: IMF Working Papers
    Content: The high level of nonperforming loans (NPLs) in the Caribbean has been, in large part, a legacy of the global financial crisis, but their persistence owes much to the weak economic recovery in the region, as well as to structural obstacles to their resolution. A comprehensive strategy is needed to address these impediments to sever the adverse feedback loops between weak economic activity and weak asset quality. This paper finds that NPLs are a drag on Caribbean growth and macro-financial links are strong: a deterioration in asset quality hinders bank lending and dampens economic activity, undermining, in turn, efforts to resolve problem loans. A multifaceted approach is needed, involving a combination of macro- economic policies to support growth and employment; strong supervisory frameworks to ensure macro-financial stability and create incentives for resolution; efforts to address informational gaps and deficiencies in insolvency and debt-enforcement frameworks; and development of markets for distressed loans. The institutional capacity constraints require coordination of reforms within the region and support from international organizations through capacity-building.

    Is the Whole Greater than the Sum of its Parts? Strengthening Caribbean Regional Integration / (2020)

    Series Statement: IMF Working Papers
    Content: Deeper economic integration within the Caribbean has been a regional policy priority since the establishment of the Caribbean Community (CARICOM) and the decision to create the Caribbean Single Market and Economy (CSME). Implementation of integration initiatives has, however, been slow, despite the stated commitment of political leaders. The “implementation deficit” has led to skepticism about completing the CSME and controversy regarding its benefits. This paper analyzes how Caribbean integration has evolved, discusses the obstacles to progress, and explores the potential benefits from greater integration. It argues that further economic integration through liberalization of trade and labor mobility can generate significant macroeconomic benefits, but slow progress in completing the institutional arrangements has hindered implementation of the essential components of the CSME and progress in economic integration. Advancing institutional integration through harmonization and rationalization of key institutions and processes can reduce the fixed costs of institutions, providing the needed scale and boost to regional integration. Greater cooperation in several functional policy areas where the region is facing common challenges can also provide low-hanging fruit, creating momentum toward full integration as the Community continues to address the obstacles to full economic integration.
