Today’s interview is a very special one. Dr. Claudio Borio, renowned economist and Head of the Monetary and Economic Department at the Bank For International Settlements (BIS), joins Joseph Wang of Fedguy.com and Jack Farley for a wide-ranging discussion on the nature of financial instability and the interplay of monetary policy and fiscal policy. Borio shares insight from recent BIS research on inflationary regimes, financial cycles, and the boundaries of debt-fueled growth. Borio notes that the materialization of interest rate risk has so far been seen in the banking sector, but that we have yet to credit risk. Filmed on October 17, 2023.

A great example for the difference in quality of economic research between the BIS and the major central banks. Borio is careful in what he says - but you can smell his dissatisfaction with the debt based growth model and short term consumer inflation targeting without considering asset prices (= financial imbalances) all the way through. What's been left out is the longer consumer inflation impact of all this - creditors might generally have a lower propensity to consume - but once the unsustainability of debts becomes clear for everybody to see all that stored purchasing power will race back into the real economy to be the first one out. And higher interest in that case will fuel the inflationary fire. Credit aggregates which are actually per federal reserve act supposed to grow in line with the productive capacity of the economy need to become an active target for central banks. Instead of being completely ignored beyond some macro-prudential policies. Basel should actively influence financial institutions to prioritize productive loans instead of consumption loans and loans for asset purchases. The goal should be maximum economic growth for each dollar of credit aggregate growth. We need to go beyond preventing financial instability to promoting healthy economic growth while reducing debts.

Excellent video. I the back of my mind is that while all this regulation has stabilized the regulated system, we have pushed the risk to the unregulated system. So it isn't that the risk was regulated out if existence we just don't know what it is or the magnitude. Greenspan seemed OK with shadiw system because he knew that markets needed more the the regulated system could offer but niw its out of hand and no matter how safe and controlled tge regulated system us we risk a systemic event with no visibility into the precise cause or the magnitude of the risk. Would be good to have an academic guest that explores these issues.

This discussion is not supporting the proposition of markets as self-regulating institutions. Whether rates reduced deflationary recession, or financial boom/bust cycles, it begs the question why central banks are independent of broad public policy goals. Yes, the short-term agenda of political opportunism should be fire-walled from money policy, but it sounds like the central banks end up planning the economy on the basis of economic theory, or purely utilitarian considerations. That relegates substantive long-term goals, to fiscal policy which have to operate in opposition, and have a higher threshold of consent. Like right now, one wonders if Powell notices the war footing, sovereign debt dilemma, or the ecological crisis and energy goals. His policies seem suited to Putin’s War and slowing reindustrialization, bankrupting public budgets, stimulating the wealthiest, and creating energy shortages while the planet is cooked alive. But hey, we’ll sort of have sound money

I feel Jack often pushes back with the phrase „and yet the US economy has been resilient“, yet I don‘t see this at all. There is a degradation of the fundamental structure happening that will perhaps take years to fully come apart, but I don‘t find the argument that since things haven‘t completely fallen apart yet that means we‘re resilient-to be convincing at all

@joythought 8 ай бұрын

By historical standards, the US economy should have slumped with this massive credit constriction. But we see resilience, at least in the short term (current quarter and potentially more quarters). We don't know when tax receipts will dive and unemployment will climb but for now the economy is showing resilience despite the fastest tightening cycle ever.

@tellemanndergaertner 8 ай бұрын

@@joythought I get what you mean, but to put it in practical terms there are many storms brewing in the US economy which are at this point certain to cause great tremblings and perhaps even an erruption in it. ~$2.5t or so in CRE debt coming due over the next couple years (2024/2025), much of it collateralized by assets which only paper in low or sinking interest rate rate environments, which is the rates regime we were in during the mania of 2021/22; the end of the shale boom which has driven growth/cheap energy prices in the US; the fact that our manufacturing status and much infrastructure is severely outmoded (although that‘s also an opportunity); the fact also that US gov. debt has increased ~$600b in 1 month; and seemingly signs of real disfunction in the global currency setup (bear steepening in US Treasury market; hyperinflation/very high inflation in various localities of the world; rise of wealth inequality which now is impinging on social cohesion markedly more than in the pre-Covid era. In short though I think the CRE debt will play at least a significant part in spurring entropy of the US economic arrangement over the next couple years, although maybe I‘m wrong and the Fed somehow gets away with monetizing the problem again and everyone pretends like the global monetary regime actually makes any sense and isn‘t actively disadvantaging a certain group of people at the hands of another.

Such contortion of facts.... Inflation is always and everywhere a monetary phenomenon (money printing) by the Central Banks. Central bank creation of money benefits those closest to the printer via the Cantillon effect while the average pleb feels it and is impacted by the ensuing high prices, months and years later.

Didn't you watch the TV series? If you hwd, you would get the analogy. Human beings navigate between what they sense as grounded reality, and inchoate fear, especially in markets. Fear of missing out, fear of being ripped off, fear of not being seen as a winner, and many more fears motivates behaviour in the market place. And money is the mediating convention through which those fears are expressed explored and explored. As such, it shows our greatest strengths as well our greatest weaknesses as a species. The Twilight Zone TV series did the same exploration of the dark side of human motivations, and the stories hold up a mirror to us, so we can see, if we choose to look, who we really are. Then we can make an informed, rational choice of how we act. The problems described in this video have been around since the dawn of civlisation. Economic Historian Michael Hudson is tracking the historical evidence for debt driven economies in antiquity, and his conclusion is that we have not learned the lessons our early ancestors left us. Debt farming in an economy leads to both economic and political instability, and the erosion of its productive capacity. This process inevitably erides the ability of the economy to defend itself, and is followed by regime failure. And the irony is that we in the West lionise two empires that died because of such economics: Greece and Rome, whilst ignoring the solutions that precluded them. The truth is that economies primarily driven by debt are essentially unstable and inefficient in distributing resources. Debt, whether public or private, is like a scapel - dangerous in the hands of people who like just cutting, and don't care where or how they deploy their tool. And we entertain that risk too much, and it will damage us, and those connected to us. And the sad thing is, it's just an idea. It could be changed or forgotten, but instead, it's akin to a religion. We need to wake up from our reverie, and tske a long hard look at our priorities, because were heading towards danger because of the convenient lies we tell ourselves, mostly about who we are.
