Global Debt – Risks, Challenges and Opportunities
Bank of International Settlements (BIS) has warned that the world economy is just as vulnerable to a financial crisis as it was in 2007, with the added danger that debt ratios are now far higher and emerging markets have been drawn into the fire as well. Mr. Jaime Caruana, IFF Advisory Committee member and the General Manager of the BIS said that investors were ignoring the risk of monetary tightening in their voracious hunt for yield. "Markets seem to be considering only a very narrow spectrum of potential outcomes. They have become convinced that monetary conditions will remain easy for a very long time, and may be taking more assurance than central banks wish to give." Mr. Caruana believes the world economic system is, in many aspects, more fragile than it was, before the Lehman crisis. The flourishing private credit industry in China, Brazil, Turkey and other emerging economies is the result of the spillover effect of Western countries' QE. The long-term monetary stimulus policies in US, Europe and Japan have led to liquidity spillover affecting the rest of the world. Rising Asian countries could no longer act as a firebreak, and may themselves now be a source of risk.
