Following on from the 2 per cent statement, the ECB confirms the setting of interest rates remains the primary tool, but many other tools are available as well:</p>\n<blockquote>\n The Governing Council also confirmed that the set of ECB interest rates remains the primary monetary policy instrument. Other instruments, such as forward guidance, asset purchases and longer-term refinancing operations, that over the past decade have helped mitigate the limitations generated by the lower bound on nominal interest rates will remain an integral part of the ECB\"s toolkit, to be used as appropriate.\n</blockquote>\n<p>In other words, the new plan tells us the ECB plans to be much more activist and it plans to use many \"tools\" that were once considered to be unacceptably radical.</p>\n<p>Think back to Spring 2003 when Professor Otmar Issing introduced the ECB’s then-new framework.&nbsp;&nbsp; The salient point then was that the ECB would aim for inflation of just under 2 per cent, ready to take as determined action to prevent inflation undershoots as well as overshoots.&nbsp; In response to a question, he insisted that the ECB had been following in practice this policy framework &nbsp;since the launch of the euro (1999), even though its formal aim had been simply inflation below 2 per cent, which in principle could have meant inflation for most of the time at zero.</p>\n<p>At the time of the last review Professor Issing was still highly respectful about&nbsp;a second pillar of ECB policymaking founded on a monitoring range for broad money supply growth.&nbsp; There was no mention then of QE, forward guidance, long-term rate manipulation and these tools were not accepted as legitimate.&nbsp;&nbsp; Legitimacy and application of such “non-conventional tools” came in the midst of the sovereign and banking debt crises of 2010-12.&nbsp; &nbsp;They were introduced as essential for monetary control.&nbsp;&nbsp; Everyone and their dog, however, realized that their primary purpose was for the ECB to effect massive transfers of funds towards supporting the weak sovereigns and their banks.&nbsp; &nbsp;Now that pretense has become part of the new framework.</p>\n<p><u><b>Managing Price-Inflation Expectations</b></u></p>\n<p>One might have expected some pushback against all this from the Bundesbank or the Dutch National Bank.&nbsp; There is no evidence of this except indirectly in the concession by ECB of a&nbsp;<i>quid pro quo.</i>Its review states that the estimation of inflation for targeting should be modified eventually to take account of the cost of owner-occupied housing</p>\n<p>This is a very weak reed of defiance.&nbsp; The ECB tells us that the cost of owner-occupied housing is now to be estimated in a “stand-alone index” and this should be considered in a wider context of assessing monetary conditions for the next few years.&nbsp;&nbsp; Ultimately by the mid-2020s the ECB foresees that there will be a modified HICP (euro-area CPI) which includes this estimation of owner-occupied housing costs, but this will not be fully operational as a target variable until the late 2020s. &nbsp;&nbsp;Who knows; by then the terrific housing price boom across much of the euro-zone, including prominently Germany and Holland in recent years, might have gone into reverse, meaning the HICP will be reformed in a direction which in fact calls for an even more radical European monetary policy.</p>\n<p><u><b>Why Is the New Plan Necessary?</b></u></p>\n<p>The ECB pleads that its new “framework” has become necessary because&nbsp;the problem of the “zero bound” has become so severe.&nbsp; That is, with interest rates already so low, it is assumed the central bank needs new tools to push up price inflation, even with target interest rates already at zero or below zero.&nbsp;&nbsp;This is due, it says, to issues beyond its control. “Structural developments have lowered the equilibrium real rate of interest – decline in productivity growth, demography, and persistently higher demand for safe liquid assets. Hence the incidence and direction of episodes in which nominal policy rates are close to the effective lower bound increased – with the current episode lasting more than 10 years”.</p>\n<p><u><b>The ECB Won't Solve the Problem the ECB Created</b></u></p>\n<p>What chutzpah!&nbsp; This alleged problem of “extraordinarily low equilibrium real rates” is a problem of the central bank’s own making.&nbsp; The European sovereign debt and banking crisis of 2010-12, the trigger to initial downward forces on the equilibrium real rate, was itself a consequence of ECB policy through the years 1997-2007.&nbsp; This was highly inflationary, albeit that the symptoms were more sharply visible for much of the time in asset markets than goods and services markets. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;By aiming for 2 per cent inflation at a time of rapid productivity growth and globalization, also with downward pressure on prices due to increased competition within EMU, the ECB fanned monetary inflation.</p>\n<p>“Equilibrium real rates” have remained so low far beyond the crises of 2008-12 and their immediate aftermath precisely because the ECB’s policies have induced and added to economic sclerosis.&nbsp; Its radicalism, characterized by negative interest rates and vast QE operations focussed on bailing out weak sovereigns and banks, has sapped any potential dynamism out of the European economies.</p>\n<p>Examples of how the ECB has contributed to economic sclerosis include the fantastic continuing gravy train into Italy which has fortified the status quo there but smothered any&nbsp; creative destruction including winding down of big government and cronyism; the stimulation of a financial engineering boom and more broadly financial speculation in which investors pursue high apparent returns based on camouflaged leverage and other optical illusions rather than potential returns on long-gestation capital spending ; the generation of massive capital exports as interest income famine European investors search out apparently high returns abroad especially in high-risk credit markets &nbsp;and also in the Eldorado of US monopoly capitalism (especially the big five FAAAMs), itself a dead hand throttling economic dynamism globally; the fuelling of a fantastic real estate construction boom most of all in Germany which does not generate productivity growth; creating desperation amongst some households about negative returns on their savings and the ultimate prospects of their pensions becoming cut in the midst of the next financial crisis and so causing them to restrict spending.</p>\n<p>Unsound money whether by the Fed or the ECB or the Bank of Japan has produced an apparent low and allegedly (according to the central bank narrative) sub-zero equilibrium interest rate.</p>\n<p><b>Sound money, not a digging in around the present monetary framework, is the answer to the zero rate boundary problem.</b></p>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>The ECB's New Inflation Plan Is Like The Old Plan.

Other instruments, such as forward guidance, asset purchases and longer-term refinancing operations, that over the past decade have helped mitigate the limitations generated by the lower bound on nominal interest rates will remain an integral part of the ECB\"s toolkit, to be used as appropriate.\n\nIn other words, the new plan tells us the ECB plans to be much more activist and it plans to use many \"tools\" that were once considered to be unacceptably radical.\nThink back to Spring 2003 when Professor Otmar Issing introduced the ECB’s then-new framework.   The salient point then was that the ECB would aim for inflation of just under 2 per cent, ready to take as determined action to prevent inflation undershoots as well as overshoots.  In response to a question, he insisted that the ECB had been following in practice this policy framework  since the launch of the euro (1999), even though its formal aim had been simply inflation below 2 per cent, which in principle could have meant inflation for most of the time at zero.\nAt the time of the last review Professor Issing was still highly respectful about a second pillar of ECB policymaking founded on a monitoring range for broad money supply growth.  There was no mention then of QE, forward guidance, long-term rate manipulation and these tools were not accepted as legitimate.   Legitimacy and application of such “non-conventional tools” came in the midst of the sovereign and banking debt crises of 2010-12.   They were introduced as essential for monetary control.   Everyone and their dog, however, realized that their primary purpose was for the ECB to effect massive transfers of funds towards supporting the weak sovereigns and their banks.   Now that pretense has become part of the new framework.\nManaging Price-Inflation Expectations\nOne might have expected some pushback against all this from the Bundesbank or the Dutch National Bank.  There is no evidence of this except indirectly in the concession by ECB of a quid pro quo.Its review states that the estimation of inflation for targeting should be modified eventually to take account of the cost of owner-occupied housing\nThis is a very weak reed of defiance.  The ECB tells us that the cost of owner-occupied housing is now to be estimated in a “stand-alone index” and this should be considered in a wider context of assessing monetary conditions for the next few years.   Ultimately by the mid-2020s the ECB foresees that there will be a modified HICP (euro-area CPI) which includes this estimation of owner-occupied housing costs, but this will not be fully operational as a target variable until the late 2020s.   Who knows; by then the terrific housing price boom across much of the euro-zone, including prominently Germany and Holland in recent years, might have gone into reverse, meaning the HICP will be reformed in a direction which in fact calls for an even more radical European monetary policy.\nWhy Is the New Plan Necessary?\nThe ECB pleads that its new “framework” has become necessary because the problem of the “zero bound” has become so severe.  That is, with interest rates already so low, it is assumed the central bank needs new tools to push up price inflation, even with target interest rates already at zero or below zero.  This is due, it says, to issues beyond its control. “Structural developments have lowered the equilibrium real rate of interest – decline in productivity growth, demography, and persistently higher demand for safe liquid assets. Hence the incidence and direction of episodes in which nominal policy rates are close to the effective lower bound increased – with the current episode lasting more than 10 years”.\nThe ECB Won't Solve the Problem the ECB Created\nWhat chutzpah!  This alleged problem of “extraordinarily low equilibrium real rates” is a problem of the central bank’s own making.  The European sovereign debt and banking crisis of 2010-12, the trigger to initial downward forces on the equilibrium real rate, was itself a consequence of ECB policy through the years 1997-2007.  This was highly inflationary, albeit that the symptoms were more sharply visible for much of the time in asset markets than goods and services markets.    By aiming for 2 per cent inflation at a time of rapid productivity growth and globalization, also with downward pressure on prices due to increased competition within EMU, the ECB fanned monetary inflation.\n“Equilibrium real rates” have remained so low far beyond the crises of 2008-12 and their immediate aftermath precisely because the ECB’s policies have induced and added to economic sclerosis.  Its radicalism, characterized by negative interest rates and vast QE operations focussed on bailing out weak sovereigns and banks, has sapped any potential dynamism out of the European economies.\nExamples of how the ECB has contributed to economic sclerosis include the fantastic continuing gravy train into Italy which has fortified the status quo there but smothered any  creative destruction including winding down of big government and cronyism; the stimulation of a financial engineering boom and more broadly financial speculation in which investors pursue high apparent returns based on camouflaged leverage and other optical illusions rather than potential returns on long-gestation capital spending ; the generation of massive capital exports as interest income famine European investors search out apparently high returns abroad especially in high-risk credit markets  and also in the Eldorado of US monopoly capitalism (especially the big five FAAAMs), itself a dead hand throttling economic dynamism globally; the fuelling of a fantastic real estate construction boom most of all in Germany which does not generate productivity growth; creating desperation amongst some households about negative returns on their savings and the ultimate prospects of their pensions becoming cut in the midst of the next financial crisis and so causing them to restrict spending.\nUnsound money whether by the Fed or the ECB or the Bank of Japan has produced an apparent low and allegedly (according to the central bank narrative) sub-zero equilibrium interest rate.\nSound money, not a digging in around the present monetary framework, is the answer to the zero rate boundary problem.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":148,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":173700488,"gmtCreate":1626683991944,"gmtModify":1703763286998,"author":{"id":"4089420740580960","authorId":"4089420740580960","name":"MagnesiuMeow","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/1e09b2f0820c2a33f8f49a142974097b","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4089420740580960","authorIdStr":"4089420740580960"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Up&nbsp;","listText":"Up&nbsp;","text":"Up","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/173700488","repostId":"2152631284","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2152631284","kind":"highlight","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Reuters.com brings you the latest news from around the world, covering breaking news in markets, business, politics, entertainment and technology","home_visible":1,"media_name":"Reuters","id":"1036604489","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/443ce19704621c837795676028cec868"},"pubTimestamp":1626680690,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2152631284?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-07-19 15:44","market":"sh","language":"en","title":"China likely to keep lending benchmark LPR steady in July, outlook divided","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2152631284","media":"Reuters","summary":"SHANGHAI, July 19 (Reuters) - China will likely keep its benchmark lending rate unchanged at its Jul","content":"<p>SHANGHAI, July 19 (Reuters) - China will likely keep its benchmark lending rate unchanged at its July fixing on Tuesday, a small majority of respondents to a Reuters survey believe, but there are growing expectations for a cut after a surprise lowering of bank reserve requirements.</p>\n<p>Eleven traders and analysts, or 52.4% of 21 participants, in the snap poll predicted no change in either the <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a>-year Loan Prime Rate (LPR) or the five-year tenor.</p>\n<p>The remaining 10 respondents expect a cut to the one-year LPR.
