Characterization of the Chilean financial cycle, early warning indicators and implications for macro-prudential policies

From the perspective of an emerging country – Chile – we analyze the recommendations of the Basel Committee of Banking Supervision (BCBS) regarding the design and implementation of indicators to guide countercyclical capital buffer (CCyB) policy decisions.

To meet these goals, we expand the available data of loans, using quarterly data from 1970 to 2017, which covers three financial fragility periods.
