8 But how excessive are global imbalances? Fund has been conducting external assessments since 2012 Multilateral Approach (Inherently difficult exercise) Multiple cross-country models (50 countries, 25 years) Recognize role of judgement Temporary factors Fundamentals Policies Complex process involving country teams CA Model REER Models (Index/Level) External Sustainability EBA methodology: ESR: 8

17 IV. Outlook, Risks and Policies 17

19 The current configuration of imbalances entails new risks Persistent excess imbalances Weak automatic adjustment mechanisms Continuation of imbalances Concentration of excess deficits in a few advanced economies Lower deficit-financing risks Greater risk of trade policy actions Diverging stock positions & reliance on demand from debtor countries Risk to global recovery Risk of future disruptive adjustment 19
20 With nearly-closed output gaps, a recalibration of policies is needed in some cases ESR Economies: Output and Staff-assessed Current Account Gaps, 2016 (percent of GDP) 0.5 TUR POL SWE DEU Output Gap GBR BEL CAN ZAF FRA USA RUS AUS ESP ITA IND EA CHN CHE JPN MYS NLD KOR THA SGP -3.5 BRA Staff-Assessed Current Account Gap Sources: World Economic Outlook, and IMF staff calculations. 1/ Bubble sizes are proportional to the absolute value of the assessed excess external imbalance, in percent of world GDP (i.e., contribution to global excess imbalances). 20
21 although persistent imbalances also point to the importance of addressing structural distortions. Excess Surplus Countries Boost demand/reduce saving Expand social safety nets (China, Korea, Malaysia, Thailand) Encourage elderly labor participation (Germany, Japan, Singapore) Lift impediments to competition/investment Barriers to foreign competition (inc. in services) (China, Germany, Japan, Korea, Thailand) Residential investment (Sweden) Balance sheet repair (the Netherlands) Excess Deficit Countries Increase external competitiveness Labor market reforms to moderate nominal wage growth (France, Italy, Spain) Lowering cost of doing business (Brazil, India, Italy, Russia) Improving workforce skill base and encourage innovation (Canada, France, UK, US) Boost saving Reduce the generosity of pension systems (Brazil, Italy, Turkey) 21

26 Key Takeaways Excess imbalances broadly unchanged in 2016 Since 2013, a rotation of excess imbalances towards advanced economies Persistent imbalances o o o o o o Despite narrowing after the GFC, progress in reducing excess global imbalances has stalled in recent years Largest excess surpluses driven in part by too tight policies Limited FXI, in contrast to the past Since 2013, narrowing of excess deficits in key EMs Larger excess surpluses and deficits in key advanced economies Persistent excess imbalances (excess surpluses in particular) point to weak automatic adjustment mechanisms o Sustained excess imbalances in countries with rigid currency arrangements (EA, oil exporters) o Structural distortions to saving/investment Recent developments and outlook o o o No significant changes since 2016, but elevated policy uncertainty Continuation of flow imbalances will further widen stock imbalances Reliance on demand from debtor countries Need to recalibrate policies and tackle structural distortions o o o With nearly-closed output gaps, tackling external imbalances requires a recalibration of the policy mix in key economies Reforms to tackle structural distortions leading to excess external positions Supporting free trade is key to sustaining the global recovery 26
