Overview
1. Impact crisis on transition region 2. Illustration: Kazakhstan & Central Asia 3. Policy response & lessons learned
In some countries, fiscal adjustment to soften the landing ahead of tightening external financing constraints
Passively: by drawing deposits and capital flows away from countries with weaker government support Actively: by impeding efforts of international banking groups to fund or recapitalise subsidiaries across borders.
These effects have contributed to the spread of the crisis to transition economies, and could become worse as the capitalization of banking groups deteriorates
Safeguard the stability of parent banks International institutions can help, either at the parent bank level (EIB) or at the subsidiary level (EBRD, IFC) Structure bank rescues in ways that do not adversely impact the transition region
No bailouts that discriminate against subsidiaries
