Roubini : The notion of a Negative Interest Rate started to have bad connotations



Roubini : "Japan is not at the center of global concern as such, but certain policy decisions including the BOJ adopting a negative interest rate recently have had a ripple effect following similar moves in Europe, with banks there also going negative," Roubini, also a professor of economics at New York University's Stern School of Business, explained.

"The notion of a negative interest rate started to have bad connotations and in Europe has killed banks' net income margins, which is ineffective and could be counterproductive," the Istanbul-born American said at the Foreign Correspondents' Club of Japan (FCCJ), although added that the use of minus interest rates by central banks "shouldn't be entirely ruled out."
