Bottom-left panel
Core Import Prices
A line and bar chart shows the annual rate of percent change of core import prices from 2005:H1
through 2007:H2, and forecasts for 2008:H1 through 2009:H2. Starting at just over 3% in 2005:H1,
core import prices fell to 1% in the second half of that year, and then gradually returned to around
3% in 2007. Prices are expected to fall towards 1% again by 2009. This panel also indicates the
contribution of foreign prices and the contribution of commodity prices. In general, foreign prices
have contributed about 1% over this period. Their contribution increased to around 2.5% in late 2007
and is expected to remain slightly elevated in early 2008, but then it is expected to fall back to 1% by
the end of 2008 and remain at that level throughout the forecast period. Commodity price
contributions are more volatile, contributing about 1% in 2005, about 2% in 2006 and the beginning
of 2007, and a quarter of a percent in late 2007. Commodity prices are forecasted to have little
contribution throughout the forecast period.
Bottom-right panel
Oil Imports
A line chart shows oil imports as a percent of GDP from 1997 through 2009. Oil imports fluctuated
around 1% of GDP from 1997 through 2001, at which point they began increasing to their present
level of about 3% of GDP. The forecast shows them falling slightly to about 2.5% of GDP by the end
of 2009.

Contribution of Real Net Exports to U.S. GDP Growth
A bar chart shows the contribution of real net exports to U.S. GDP growth from 1997 through 2009.
Unit is percentage points, Q4/Q4. From 1997 through 2005, real net exports' effect on GDP growth

ranged from -1.1 (1998) to -0.1 percentage point (2003 and 2005). The contribution swung into
positive territory starting in 2006, contributing 0.4 in 2006 and 0.6 in 2007. The forecast continues to
expect a positive effect, with a forecast of 0.5 in 2008 and 0.3 percentage point in 2009.

Real Trade-Weighted Dollar
A line chart illustrates the broad real dollar, the dollar against major currencies, and against other
important trading partners. Unit is an index, 2002:Q1=100. The dollar is currently down a little over
20% since 2002 in broad real terms, and is expected to fall slightly more by the end of 2009.
Similarly, the dollar is down about 30% against major currencies, and is expected to remain at this
level throughout the forecast period. The dollar is down about 10% against other important trading
partners, and is expected to fall about another 10% by the end of 2009.
Bottom panel
Differential Between U.S. and Foreign Real GDP Growth
A bar chart shows the differential between U.S. and foreign real GDP growth from 1997 through
2009. Unit is percentage points, Q4/Q4. From 1997 to 2005, U.S. growth was on average just ¼
percentage point below that of our trading partners. The broadest positive gap occurred in 1998,
when U.S. growth was about 3% higher than our trading partners, and the largest negative gap
occurred a few years later in 2000, when U.S. growth was about 2% below that of our trading
partners. In 2006, the gap was about -1.25%, and in 2007 it increased slightly more, to about -1.75%.
The forecast shows this gap narrowing slightly in the forecast period to about -1.3%.

Euro Area
A line chart. From 2006 through mid-2007, economic sentiment increased from about 2 percent to 12
percent above the long-term average. However, starting in mid-2007, sentiment began falling and is
now about 5 percent above the long-term average. Also, from 2006 through mid-2007, changes in
credit standards to households* remained between zero and -10 percent balance, so fairly loose.
Recently, they have started tightening to about positive 20 percent balance by the end of 2007. Credit
standards to enterprises* have followed a pattern similar to those to households. They remained
unchanged or slightly loosened through mid-2007, and then sharply tightened in the second half of
the year with about a 40% increase in tightening.

United Kingdom
A line chart shows U.K. corporate credit availability in the last few months as well as new mortgage
lending from 2006 through 2007. Corporate credit availability fell from about 0 to a -50 percent
balance. Meanwhile, new mortgage lending has been volatile, fluctuating between about 8 to 10
billion UK pounds. It reached a peak in this two-year period of about 10.5 billion pounds in late
2006, but since the beginning of 2007 it has been falling and is now around 7.75 billion pounds.
Middle-left panel
Japan
A line chart shows the Japanese Tankan survey (diffusion index) and housing starts (twelve-month
percent change) over 2006 and 2007. The Tankan survey gradually rose from about 5 to 8 over 2006,
however over 2007 it has been steadily falling and is now at about 2. Housing starts remained largely
unchanged throughout 2006 and the first half of 2007, but in the past few months they have dropped
sharply, with a -45% change in the third quarter of 2007. Since then they have risen slightly to -25%.

Policy Interest Rates
A line chart shows the policy interest rates for the UK, Canada, the euro area, and Japan from 2005
through early 2010.
The UK kept rates around 4.50-4.75 throughout 2005-2006. Beginning in 2007, the UK gradually
increased rates to 5.75 percent, then slightly lowered rates to 5.50 percent in the last quarter of 2007.
Over the next few quarters the forecast anticipates that the UK will lower rates to 4.75 percent and
keep rates at this level throughout the forecast period.
Canada increased rates from 2.50 to 4.50 percent from 2005 through late 2007. Recently, Canada
rates have stepped down to 4.00 percent, and the forecast expects them to drop slightly further to
3.50 percent and remain there throughout the forecast period.
The euro area saw a similar pattern in rates, with rates increasing from 2.00 percent in 2005 to the
current level of 4.00 percent. The forecast anticipates rates to fall to about 3.50 percent and remain
between 3.50-3.75 through the forecast period.
Japan's rates increased from 0.00 to 0.50 percent from 2005-2007. The forecast anticipates that rates
will remain at 0.50 throughout most of the forecast period.

Bottom-left panel
House Prices
A line chart shows the percent change (from a year earlier) in house prices for the UK, US, France,
Spain, and Canada, from 2004 to 2007. House prices in the US rose at a rate of about 10%
throughout 2004 and 2005. Since late 2005, this rate has been slowing, and as of 2007:Q3, house
prices have only increased 2%. France has seen a similar trend, with prices rising about 15%
throughout 2004 and 2005, then falling to their current rate of 5% in 2007:Q3. In the UK, by late
2004 house prices had risen over 20%, but then this rate quickly slowed to 2% by mid-2005. Prices
began rising again to about 11% by mid-2007, but have since fallen to about 4% as of December.
Spain has been seeing a slowdown in house prices over the period, from 18% at the beginning of
2004 to about 5% by 2007:Q3. Canada's house prices were increasing at about 5% through 2004 and
2005, and in late 2005 they began rising steadily to 12% by mid-2006. However, their prices have
also experienced a slowdown to 6% by November 2007.
Bottom-right panel
Residential Investment: Contribution to GDP Growth
A bar chart shows the contribution to GDP growth of residential investment (percentage points,
annual rate) for the US, Canada, the UK, and the euro area. On average, from 2003 to 2005,
residential investment contributed between about 0.1 and 0.5 percentage point to GDP growth, with
the US having the largest contribution at about 0.5 percentage point. In 2006, the US experienced a
sharp fall, with residential investment contributing about -0.8 percentage point. Canada's fell slightly,
to about -0.05 percentage point, while the UK and euro area's remained around 0.3 percentage point.
In 2007:Q1-Q3, the US continued to experience a marked downward swing in contributions of about
-0.9 percentage point, while Canada, the UK, and the euro area experienced positive contributions
between about 0.1 and 0.5 percentage point.

early 2007, oil prices decelerated, even experiencing a 10 percent decline in prices in the first half of
2007. The second half of 2007 has seen an increase in prices, and prices are currently up 40 percent
over this four quarter period. The forecast anticipates that prices will decelerate once again through
2008 and will even slightly contract in 2009. The series ends at about -4 percent in 2009:Q4.

2005, they accelerated to nearly 70 percent by mid-2006. However, metal prices quickly decelerated
and decreased at a rate of -10 percent by the end of 2007. The forecast expects prices to fall another
10 percent by mid-2008, then to stabilize by the end of 2008. Food prices have been increasing at a
pace of between -10 to 20 percent, averaging about 10 percent over the last few years. The forecast
expects them to continue to increase at a pace of 0 to 20 percent over the next two years.

Ranges

1. Projections of real GDP growth, PCE inflation and core PCE inflation are fourth-quarter-to-fourth-quarter growth rates, i.e.
percentage changes from the fourth quarter of the prior year to the fourth quarter of the indicated year. PCE inflation and core
PCE inflation are the percentage rates of change in the price index for personal consumption expenditures and the price index
for personal consumption expenditures excluding food and energy, respectively. Each participant's projections are based on his
or her assessment of appropriate monetary policy. The range for each variable in a given year includes all participants'
projections, from lowest to highest, for that variable in the given year; the central tendencies exclude the three highest and
three lowest projections for each variable in each year. Return to text

1. The Federal Open Market
Committee decided today to
lower its target for the federal
funds rate 75 basis points to
2-¾ percent.

2. Financial markets remain
under considerable stress,
and credit has tightened
further for some businesses
and households. Moreover,
recent information indicates a
deepening of the housing
contraction as well as some
softening in labor markets.

Financial markets remain
under considerable stress,
and the tightening of credit
and the deepening of the
housing contraction could
weigh further on economic
growth. However, recent
policy actions should
promote moderate growth
over time.

3. The Committee expects
inflation to moderate in
coming quarters, reflecting
well-anchored inflation
expectations, a projected
leveling out of energy
prices, and easing pressures
on resource utilization.
However, further increases
in energy and commodity
prices, as well as other
factors, could put upward
pressure on inflation.
Therefore, it will be
necessary to continue to
monitor inflation
developments carefully.

Overview of today's briefing
Three presentations
1. A diagnosis of underlying reasons why losses on U.S subprime mortgages triggered a
global financial crisis.
2. An analysis of issues relating to credit rating agencies and investor practices with
respect to the use of credit ratings.
3. An analysis of risk management weaknesses at large global financial services
organizations and the extent to which bank regulatory policies contributed to, or failed to
mitigate, those weaknesses.

Exhibit 2: Diagnosis
Subprime Mortgages and Securitization Markets
Top-left panel
Subprime mortgage delinquency rates
A line chart shows two series, delinquency rates for subprime fixed-rate and variable-rate mortgages,
on a monthly basis from October 2000 through November 2007. The fixed-rate curve begins at about
6 percent, generally increases to about 9 percent by late 2002, generally decreases to nearly 5 percent
by mid-2005, remains at about that level through mid-2007, then increases to about 7.5 percent by
the end of the period. The variable-rate curve begins at about 8 percent, generally increases to about
11 percent by early 2002, generally decreases to about 6 percent by mid-2005, then generally
increases to about 21 percent by the end of the period.

ABX prices
A line chart shows two series, 2006:H2 vintage AAA and BBB-, on a daily basis from mid-January
2007 through late January 2008. Unit is percent of par.
The AAA curve begins near 100 percent, remains almost constant through early July 2007, generally
decreases to about 87 percent by early August, and generally increases to about 94 percent by early
September. It remains at about that level through mid-October, then with greater volatility decreases
to about 70 percent by late November. The curves then fluctuates between about 68 and 80 percent
through the remainder of the period, ending at about 75 percent.
The BBB- curve begins near 97 percent, generally decreases to almost 60 percent by late February
2007, fluctuates around 70 percent through late May, then generally decreases to about 13 percent by
the end of the period.

LCDS versus pipeline
A line chart plots two series, leveraged pipeline* ($ billion) and LCDS** (basis points), on a weekly
basis.
The leveraged pipeline curve begins in early January 2006 at about $60 billion, fluctuates around 55
through July, declines to about 35 in August, then generally increases to about 160 by February
2007. It declines to less than 90 by the end of March, then rapidly increases to about 250 by
mid-July. The curve stays near that level through the end of September, generally declines to a little
more than 150 by the end of the year, and increases to about $170 billion by late January 2008.
The LCDS curve begins in early August 2006 at about 135 basis points, generally decreases to nearly
70 by late February 2007, increases to about 110 by early April, and levels out around 100 by
mid-June. It then increases sharply to about 260 by the beginning of August, decreases to about 185
by mid-October, then resumes its upward trend to about 280 by late November, and to about 335
basis points by late January 2008.
Although the two curves often move in opposition to one another, they share a marked general
increase between August 2006 and August 2007.

U.S. ABCP outstanding since 2004
A line chart shows two series, total U.S. ABCP outstanding since 2004, and multi-seller U.S. ABCP
outstanding since 2004, on a monthly basis from January 2004 through January 2008. Unit is billions
of dollars.
The total curve begins at about $640 billion, and remains at about that level until late 2004. It then
increases fairly steadily to about 1,160 by mid-2007, and decreases more rapidly to about $815
billion by the end of the period.
The multi-seller curve has a similar shape, though at a lower level. It begins at about $280 billion,
and remains at about that level until late 2004. It then increases fairly steadily to about 525 by
mid-2007, and generally decreases to about $470 billion by the end of the period.

Credit default swap spreads
A line chart shows four series, "bank index" credit default swap spreads, and credit default swap
spreads for JPMorgan, Citigroup, and Bank of America, on a daily basis from January 2007 through
January 2008. Unit is basis points.
The bank index series is nearly constant between January 2007 and July 2007, only varying ±6 basis
points from the average. The series increases by 15 basis points by early August 2007, and remains
around this value until mid-November, where it climbs another 20 basis points. The series peaks in
mid-January 2008 at 6 times its initial value, and falls by about 7 basis points before the meeting.
The JPMorgan series is nearly constant between January 2007 and July 2007, only varying ±6 basis
points from the average. The spread increases by 40 basis points by early August, then drops by 20
basis points by mid-October, and rises again by another 30 basis points by mid-November. The series
hits a max in late January at over 5 times its initial value, but falls by 15 basis points in the 2 weeks
before the meeting.
The Citigroup series is nearly constant between January 2007 and June 2007, only varying ±5 basis

points from the average. The spread increases by 45 basis points by mid-August, then drops by 30
basis points by mid-October, and rises again by another 75 basis points by late November. The series
hits a max in late January at over 11 times its initial value, but falls by 16 basis points in the 2 weeks
before the meeting.
The Bank of America series is nearly constant between January 2007 and July 2007, only varying ±5

Exhibit 5
Where did Credit Rating Agencies Play a Role in the Crisis?
Top-left panel
Key points
1. Credit rating agencies are one of the weak links (though not the only one).
2. The way that some investors use credit ratings for their own risk management has not kept up
with financial innovations.
Top-right panel
Road map
1. Role of rating agencies in the financial crisis.
2. Make recommendations on rating agency practices.
3. Link up with investor issues.
Middle-top panel
Subprime RMBS
1. Rating agencies got it wrong.
2. Rating agencies relied too much on historical data to estimate:
how severe a housing downturn could become.
how poorly subprime loans would perform when house prices fell.
whether the originator mattered.
whether refinancing would dry up.
3. No evidence that conflicts of interest had an impact on ratings.
Middle-bottom panel
ABS CDOs
1. Rating agencies got it wrong.
2. Rating models were crude, because rating agencies:
used corporate CDO models to rate ABS CDOs.
had no data on correlation of defaults across ABS.
used ratings as the main measure of quality of subprime RMBS.
only did limited, ad hoc analysis of the timing of cash flows.
3. Investors did not understand that structured finance securities have more systematic risk and
less idiosyncratic risk than corporate securities.

Bottom panel
SIVs
1. Rating agencies got it wrong.
2. Rating model for SIVs relied on a rapid liquidation of assets.
3. Even SIVs with no subprime exposures cannot roll over CP.

Exhibit 6
Recommendations on Rating Agency Practices
Top panel
Six recommendations aimed at structured finance ratings
1. Differentiate structured finance ratings from corporate ratings by providing additional
measures of risk or leverage.
2. Convey a rating's uncertainty in an understandable way.
3. More transparency for structured finance ratings.
4. Be conservative when rating new or evolving asset classes.
5. Enhance the rating frameworks for structured products.
6. Regulators should differentiate better between corporate and structured finance ratings.

Exhibit 7
Investor Practices
Top panel
Approach
Public pension funds are an informative example of how investors use credit ratings.
Limited financial expertise in some cases.
High portion of funds use credit ratings in investment guidelines.
Significant public information on their activities.
We gathered information on investment practices and fund governance for 11 funds, ranging
from $250 billion in assets (CALPers) to 6 with $6 to $11 billion.
Middle panel
Key conclusions
Funds have developed workable solutions to address inexperience or lack of financial
sophistication, including hiring professional investment managers and investment consultants.
The mandates guiding investment managers have not always kept pace with the growth of
structured credit markets. These mandates:
Require managers to meet or exceed returns on a benchmark index or of a peer group of
investment managers.
Constrain the risk the managers may assume.
Credit ratings play an important role in these risk constraints.
However, few of the funds we profiled made significant distinctions between ratings on
structured credit and on other securities.

This provides scope for investment managers to move into structured credit to generate high
returns, without raising warning signals about additional risk.
Not a "naive" use of credit ratings by the investment managers.
Instead, a previously effective mechanism used by fund boards falling out-of-date.
Bottom panel
Recommendations
1. The pension fund industry and other investors should re-evaluate the use of credit ratings in
investment mandates.
Investment mandates should acknowledge differences in risk, return and correlation
across instruments, rather than rely on generic credit ratings.
2. Investors should ensure that investment consultants have independent views of the quality and
adequacy of the ratings for the types of positions in the investors' portfolios.

Bottom panel
Firms' overall performance
Most firms, while affected by market developments, generally avoided significant losses.
Most firms' risk management processes worked as intended.

Some firms recognized the emerging additional risks and took deliberate actions to limit or
mitigate them.
Other firms recognized the additional risks and accepted them.
Still other firms did not fully recognize the risks in time to mitigate them.
Risk management practices varied by firm and by strategy, as did the range of outcomes.
Primary risk management weaknesses observed are not new.

Exhibit 9
Observations on Risk Management Practices During the Recent Market Turbulence
Top panel
Four factors differentiated performance:
The effectiveness of senior management oversight of balance sheet, liquidity, and capital
positions;
The effectiveness of communications among senior management, business lines, and risk
management functions;
The sophistication, diversity and adaptability of risk measures utilized;
The attention devoted to valuation issues.
Bottom panel
Effectiveness of senior management oversight of balance sheet, liquidity, and capital positions
More Effective
More disciplined in measuring and limiting risks in advance of the crisis.
More agile in reducing exposures or hedging.
Focused on maintaining a strong balance sheet.
Established capital and liquidity buffers that included lack of access to the market for
funding for a period of time.
Created and enforced internal pricing mechanisms, capital allocation methodologies, and
limits.
Less Effective
Not as focused on the overall strength of their balance sheet.
Operated with less of a liquidity and capital buffer.
More focused on earnings growth or defense of market leadership position.
Did not have limit structures that were consistently or effectively enforced.
Did not properly aggregate or monitor off balance sheet exposures.

Exhibit 10
Observations on Risk Management Practices During the Recent Market Turbulence
Top panel
Effectiveness of communications among senior management, business lines, and risk
management functions
More Effective
Emphasized a comprehensive, firm-wide consolidated assessment of risk.

Well established processes for routine discussion of current and emerging risks.
Collectively made decisions about the firm's overall risk appetite, exposures, and risk
mitigation strategies.
Effectively leveraged the assessments of risks from one business line to consider how
exposures may affect other businesses.
More timely and well-informed perspective.
Implemented plans for reducing exposures while it was still practical and more cost
effective.
Less Effective
Did not effectively share information across business lines on emerging risks.
Comparatively slower in taking actions to mitigate exposures.
Each business line had to assess and consider emerging risks on their own.
Bottom panel
The sophistication, diversity, and adaptability of risk measures utilized
More Effective
Used a wide range of risk measures and analytical tools.
Used a combination of different risk measures and scenario analysis.
Committed more resources to risk management and management information systems.
More timely and scalable management information systems.
Less Effective
Too dependent on a single quantitative measurement.
Did not utilize scenario analysis in their decision making.
Management information systems not as scalable.
Need to develop a number of ad hoc reports.

Exhibit 11
Observations on Risk Management Practices During the Recent Market Turbulence
Top panel
Attention devoted to valuation issues
More Effective
More disciplined in how they valued the holdings of complex or potentially illiquid
securities.
Invested in the development of pricing models and staff with specialized expertise.
Less reliant on external ratings.
Emphasized mark-to-market discipline.
Less Effective
Did not have key valuation models in place prior to the market disruption.
Relied heavily on third-party views of risks.
More narrow view of the risks associated with their CDO business.
Did not actively seek market valuation information.
Bottom panel
Supervisory response
Address risk management deficiencies at each company through the supervisory process.

Re-emphasize the importance of strong independent risk management.
Complete the work already underway within the Basel Committee on Bank Supervision to
update liquidity risk management guidance.
Review existing guidance.
Develop on an interagency basis guidance related to the effective management of the
originate-to-distribute model.

Exhibit 12
Regulatory Policy
Top panel
The question
To what extent did regulatory incentives contribute to or fail to mitigate weaknesses exposed
by the recent turmoil?
Regulatory capital requirements.
Financial reporting requirements.
Middle panel
Conclusions
For banks, regulatory capital incentives are much more important than financial reporting
incentives.
The current regulatory capital framework is not neutral to how banks structure risk positions.
Although not a significant driver of bank behavior, financial reporting issues, particularly
disclosure practices, have been a factor in how the turmoil is unfolding.
Bottom panel
Basel 2 and related improvements
1. Capital charges for most unused short-term credit and liquidity facilities have been increased.
2. Standards for holding capital against the default risk of complex, less liquid products in the
trading book are being finalized.
3. A more risk-sensitive capital treatment for securitization exposures has been established.

Exhibit 13
Regulatory Policy (continued)
Top panel
Recommendations - regulatory capital
1. Reassess the treatment of certain securitizations in the Basel 2 Capital Framework.
2. Exercise supervisory oversight to ensure that banks sufficiently consider "reputational" risk
and its implications for capital and liquidity buffers.
3. Rigorously assess banks' implementation of the Advanced Internal Ratings Based approach to
Basel 2, including the conservatism of estimates of losses from defaults during a downturn
("downturn LGDs") and stress tests.

4. Explore ways to encourage the inclusion in the regulatory capital base of debt instruments that
mandatorily convert into equity when a banking organization is under stress.
Middle panel
Recommendations - disclosure practices
1. Continue to push market participants to make timely and detailed disclosures about the size
and composition of subprime-related exposures.
2. Sponsors and/or liquidity/credit enhancement providers to ABCP programs should disclose the
distribution of assets underlying the programs by type, industry, and credit rating.
3. Sponsors should improve disclosures to investors in ABCP programs.
