Abstract

This paper explores how best a small open economy can defend against a foreign interest rate rise, such as the impending Fed lift-off. We find that a broad based macroprudential policy is the mosteffective tool in containing fluctuations arising from the interest rate shock, hence yielding the lowest loss in welfare.
