Wolfgang Münchau über die Zinspolitik der EZB - SPIEGEL ONLINE
july 2013 by asterisk2a
Aber am Ende ist das alles Haarspalterei. Es läuft auf dasselbe Ergebnis hinaus: Die Zinsen werden lange bei null bleiben, wahrscheinlich über mehrere Jahre. Solange es keine Anzeichen für eine dauerhaft steigende Inflation gibt - und die wird es auf absehbare Zeit nicht geben - solange wird sich dieser Ausblick nicht ändern. [...] Es besteht ein klarer Zusammenhang zwischen Geldmenge und den Preisen für Wertpapiere. [...] Es besteht die akute Gefahr, dass ähnlich wie in Japan vor zwanzig Jahren die Geldpolitik nicht greift, solange der Bankensektor so krank ist.

Economic policy: Paved with good intentions | The Economist
may 2013 by asterisk2a
Although the debate [austerity] relates to the UK, I think it has a much wider resonance. And indeed, to a student of history, it has fascinating parallels; economic policy-making was rethought in the mid-1970s, but the same debates are popping up again. [...] Margaret Thatcher on ZIRP & QE "Let us print the money instead. Because what that is saying is let us quietly steal a cerain amount from every pound saved in building societies, in national savings, from every person who has been thrifty." [...] [ZIRP & QE is no free lunch - it has consequences, known and unknown, unintended.]

Japan wählt neues Unterhaus: LDP und Abe zurück an die Macht - SPIEGEL ONLINE
december 2012 by asterisk2a
Der Wunsch nach Stabilität war offenbar stärker als die Hoffnung auf politischen Neuanfang und gesellschaftlichen Wandel: In Japan haben die Parlamentswahlen am Sonntag eine Partei zurück an die Macht gebracht, die seit 1955 fast ununterbrochen regierte und wie kaum eine andere das Establishment verkörpert.
Die Liberaldemokratische Partei LDP sicherte sich eine absolute Mehrheit der 480 Sitze im mächtigen japanischen Unterhaus. Neuer Regierungschef wird wohl der rechtskonservative Parteivorsitzende Shinzo Abe, 58, der das Amt bereits von 2006 bis 2007 innehatte, dann jedoch aus gesundheitlichen Gründen zurücktrat. Abe stammt aus einer bekannten Politikerfamilie.

EZB-Juristen prüfen Anleihen-Aufkaufprogramm - SPIEGEL ONLINE
september 2012 by asterisk2a
Betreibt die Europäische Zentralbank mit ihrem Aufkaufprogramm für Anleihen versteckte Staatsfinanzierung? Offenbar wappnen sich die Währungshüter gegen diesen Vorwurf. Laut "Bild"-Zeitung prüfen Juristen von EZB und Bundesbank die Rechtmäßigkeit der Käufe.
Nicht ausgeschlossen wird dem Bericht zufolge dabei, dass die brisante Frage demnächst dem Europäischen Gerichtshof zur Klärung vorgelegt wird. Für diesen Fall wollten sich EZB und Bundesbank juristisch wappnen. Hintergrund sei der Streit um die Frage, ob die EZB mit den Aufkäufen gegen das EU-vertragliche Verbot von direkter Staatsfinanzierung verstoße.

Jens Weidmann - Bundesbank was only one against program.
ECB moved out of Bundesbank shadow ...
- most interesting thing is; the risk of sovereign debt stays with national central bank, the risk to the balance sheet (ie in case of a GREXIT, stays with Greece Central Banks balance sheet); ECB create money, gives it to Greece Central Bank, which buys the Greece debt, which stays on Greece Central Banks balance sheet. In case of Grexit scenario - money creation effect of this type of debt monetisation stays within Greece as they change back to Drachma (regional currency).

Münchau: Warum Draghis Programme keine Inflation bringen - SPIEGEL ONLINE
september 2012 by asterisk2a
Milton Friedmans Monetarismus ist nicht gescheitert, weil er falsch war, sondern weil sich die Welt geändert hat.
[...]
Um Inflation wirklich zu verstehen, bedarf es des Verständnisses einer komplexen Dynamik, die eine ganze Reihe von Faktoren mit einschließt - unter anderem die gesamtwirtschaftliche Nachfrage, die Entwicklung an Rohstoffmärkten, Arbeitslosigkeit, die Lücke zwischen Auslastung der Industrie und ihrer Kapazität sowie die Entwicklung von Krediten und anderen Finanzindikatoren. Fast alle diese Indikatoren deuten auf eine deflationäre Entwicklung hin.
[...]
Die Aufgabe der Notenbank wird es dann nicht mehr sein, Inflation zu bekämpfen, sondern für ein Mindestmaß an Inflation zu sorgen. Noch besser wäre es, wenn die Notenbanken nicht mehr ein isoliertes Inflationsziel setzen, sondern ein nominales Wachstumsziel verfolgen.

An entrepreneur-turned-venture investor told me over the weekend: Booms are the worst time to build a company.
Only capital is cheap. Everything else is expensive — talent most of all.
---
Fed's ZIRP and QE (and Bailout bonanza, moralhazard) - did fuel VC/Seedfund pockets - overthrowing capped supply (investments in companies).
ZIRP and QE do increase the demand for alternative investments. And skews investors risk sentiment. They take on more risk in hope for the next big thing that brings them that more ROI that the market can not produce due to World Wide QE, ZIRP, currency debasement, Sovereign Debt Crisis.

Recovery – Who are We Kidding?
april 2012 by asterisk2a
In our assessment, what we see unfolding is the latest chapter in the tug of war between inflationary and deflationary forces. During the “goldilocks” economy of the last decade, investors levered themselves up. Homeowners treated their homes as if they were ATMs; banks set up off-balance sheet Special Investment Vehicles (SIVs); governments engaging in arrangements to get cheap loans that may cost future generations dearly. Cumulatively, it was an amazing money generation process; yet, central banks remained on the sidelines, as inflation – according to the metrics focused on - appeared contained. Indeed, we have argued in the past that central banks lost control of the money creation process, as they could not keep up with the plethora of “financial innovation” that justified greater leverage. It was only a matter of time before the world no longer appeared quite so risk-free. Rational investors thus reduced their exposure: de-levered. ...

Eurozone burns money while the banks fiddle their balance sheets - Telegraph
january 2012 by asterisk2a
ECB's LTRO is QE in stealth. A bank bailout. And one way to prop up money supply and velocity.
It buys time, politicians have to use. If not, and all else will fail - the trust of the public / society will bring a 2nd Depression and the break-off of PIIGS et al.
The market knows what is going on, thus the Euro is justifiably under 1.30.
All that, while banks need to delever and consolidate. And sovereigns need to fix their budgets and promote growth reforms to stop demand shortfall.
There is not "one" fix that addresses all problems.
OR ... politicians stand by the people and look beyond the next election.
"So eurozone governments need to stand behind retail depositors, make the financial institutions "fess-up" and let the cards fall, forcing the bombed-out European banking sector to consolidate."

Sweden Revamps Central Bank Tool Kit on Crisis - Bloomberg
november 2011 by asterisk2a
The crisis has demonstrated that central bank models don’t take financial system risks properly into account, Ingves said, adding that it’s necessary to design econometric models that better catch the dynamics of the global economy.
Federal Reserve Chairman Ben S. Bernanke last month signaled he also may be changing his view on the degree to which asset prices should be incorporated in monetary policy, a tool he in 2002 deemed “far too blunt” to prevent bubbles. “The possibility that monetary policy could be used directly to support financial stability goals, at least on the margin, should not be ruled out,” Bernanke said on Oct. 18 in a speech in Boston.
