Abstract

This paper advances a simple framework explaining how monetary policy normalization (“exit policies”) may impact central bank profits and seigniorage formation with further implications for central bank transfers to the government. The cases of seven central banks of major and smaller economies serve as an illustration. The notion of the break-even point is applied to study the financial situation of these institutions for the period of 2014-2020. During the normalization process, interest rate increases may adversely affect profit changes, and through transfers may have an impact on the fiscal space available to the governments, creating political economy concerns. Possible remedies are discussed together with accompanying policy dilemmas.
