Abstract

Macroprudential policies have become essential tools for policymakers to maintain financial stability. We investigate the impact of macroprudential policies on the current account balance, considering the link between external imbalances and financial stability. Building on a panel VAR model, we further document that usage of a macroprudential instrument is associated with an improvement in the current account balance. Our findings suggest that the positive impact of macroprudential policy measures on the current account balance is more substantial in the deficit countries.
