Roubini : Indonesia could Grow faster than China and India

“Countries like India, Brazil, Turkey, South Africa and Ukraine [are also running deficits], but I would not put Indonesia in this group, even if Indonesia has some macro-financial fragility,” he said Saturday in his remarks delivered during the CEO Summit conference held as part of the APEC leaders meetings.“With the right economic reforms, the growth of Indonesia in the second half of this decade could even be higher than China and India,” Roubini predicted. - in The Jakarta Post

Roubini : Probably The Tapering will start in January

 You mentioned that you wouldn’t rule out the tapering of US Federal Reserve stimulus taking place in December. But when do you think it will actually happen and what actually backs your conviction?

Nouriel Roubini : Well, my baseline is that probably the tapering will start in January. That is more probable than December, but the latest economic data on the United States suggests that job creation remained robust in October in spite of the government shutdown. Other economic indicators in the US suggest that growth is picking up.

I would not rule out that the Fed might decide to start the tapering in December. It’s not my baseline because January is more likely. But even if they were to start in December, they would try to sweeten this bitter pill, firstly, by changing their forward guidance by signaling that they’re going to keep a zero policy rate for longer than otherwise. Secondly, they’re also going to make sure that people know that tapering and continuation of tapering are state-contingent or data-dependent.

The market at this point is already banking on the tapering happening. So it’s not going to be much of a surprise as it was in May or June. Long-term interest rates have already gone from 1.6 percent to 2.7 percent, so upside surprises in the long-term interest rates are going be relatively modest, whether tapering starts in December or in January. - in The Jakarta Post

Outlook for Indonesia : Prospects are still pretty strong

Nouriel Roubini

Question: You’re known as Dr. Doom, the man who usually has a bearish forecast for the global economy. And yet, you have always had a positive outlook on Indonesia. What’s behind your faith in the Indonesian economy?

Nouriel Roubini : First of all, I don’t think I’m Dr. Doom. I’m Dr. Realist. I try to correctly understand what’s going on in the global economy. A few years ago, there was a global financial crisis, but now there is recovery. The emerging markets for the last few years have done overall much better than advanced economies.

And if I look at Indonesia, I would say that the medium-term prospects are still pretty strong in terms of actual and potential growth, being at least 6 percent if not higher. The existence of external deficit, slightly higher than target inflation, has led to some concerns and some financial pressures on the currency, the bond market and the equity market.

Roubini : 10 basic and key questions that the Senators failed to ask Janet Yellen at her confirmation hearing

 10 basic and key questions that the Senators failed to ask Janet Yellen at her confirmation hearings. Who is prepping these folks?


 Questions Senators were too naive to ask Yellen:
 1. You wrote about optimal control (OC) ie allow inflation above target. Do you support OC?
 2. You wrote a few times that inflation may have to go above target for a while to reduce labor slack. Do you support this optimal control?
 3. Do you agree with Governor Stein that macro-pru will not be sufficient to control bubbles? Would you raise rates sooner to prick bubbles?
 4. While you say no bubble today what is the risk that slow QE exit & policy rate normalization (4 yrs) will cause bubbles down the line?
5 . If the current approach to too-big-to-fail will not work would you down the line support breaking up big banks to deal with TBTF?
 6. What will be Fed losses of paying interest on excess reserves of $3 trillion+ when you will normalize policy rates to 4%? 120bn a year?
 7. Fed criteria for taper is a cumulative improvement in labor mkt outlook. Aren't we there now given fall in Un Rate & 180K jobs per month?

Roubini says central bankers have a tough choice: Kill recovery or risk bubbles

Regulations meant to curb risks in the global financial system –known to economists as “macroprudential regulations” — had better work, or central bankers will be between a rock and a hard place.

In the aftermath of the financial crisis six years ago, unconventional tools like quantitative easing and zero-interest rate policies may have sparked an economic recovery but not one of turbocharged growth or low unemployment. That puts policy makers in a difficult position, NYU economist Nouriel Roubini wrote in an opinion piece at Live Mint on Wednesday. He added:
“[P]olicymakers will eventually face an ugly trade-off: kill the recovery to avoid risky bubbles, or go for growth at the risk of fueling the next financial crisis.”

The QE Money Suplly did not help Finance private consumption or Investment

NEW YORK – As below-trend GDP growth and high unemployment continue to afflict most advanced economies, their central banks have resorted to increasingly unconventional monetary policy. An alphabet soup of measures has been served up: ZIRP (zero-interest-rate policy); QE (quantitative easing, or purchases of government bonds to reduce long-term rates when short-term policy rates are zero); CE (credit easing, or purchases of private assets aimed at lowering the private sector’s cost of capital); and FG (forward guidance, or the commitment to maintain QE or ZIRP until, say, the unemployment rate reaches a certain target). Some have gone as far as proposing NIPR (negative-interest-rate policy).

And yet, through it all, growth rates have remained stubbornly low and unemployment rates unacceptably high, partly because the increase in money supply following QE has not led to credit creation to finance private consumption or investment. Instead, banks have hoarded the increase in the monetary base in the form of idle excess reserves. There is a credit crunch, as banks with insufficient capital do not want to lend to risky borrowers, while slow growth and high levels of household debt have also depressed credit demand.

Workers’ Rights needed to be protected , To Avoid Revolution

Even before the Great Depression, Europe’s enlightened “bourgeois” classes recognized that, to avoid revolution, workers’ rights needed to be protected, wage and labor conditions improved, and a welfare state created to redistribute wealth and finance public goods – education, health care, and a social safety net. The push towards a modern welfare state accelerated after the Great Depression, when the state took on the responsibility for macroeconomic stabilization – a role that required the maintenance of a large middle class by widening the provision of public goods through progressive taxation of incomes and wealth and fostering economic opportunity for all. - in project-syndicate

Central Bank Policymakers Are Damned if They Do, Damned if They Don't

"If policymakers go slow on raising rates to encourage faster economic recovery, they risk causing the mother of all asset bubbles, eventually leading to a bust, another massive financial crisis and a rapid slide into recession,"

"But if they try to prick bubbles early on with higher interest rates, they will crash bond markets and kill the recovery, causing much economic and financial damage." - in Project Syndicate.

Near-Zero Policy Rates Encourage “Carry Trades”

As a result, all of this excess liquidity is flowing to the financial sector rather than the real economy. Near-zero policy rates encourage “carry trades” – debt-financed investment in higher-yielding risky assets such as longer-term government and private bonds, equities, commodities and currencies of countries with high interest rates. The result has been frothy financial markets that could eventually turn bubbly.

Indeed, the US stock market and many others have rebounded more than 100% since the lows of 2009; issuance of high-yield “junk bonds” is back to its 2007 level; and interest rates on such bonds are falling. Moreover, low interest rates are leading to high and rising home prices – possibly real-estate bubbles – in advanced economies and emerging markets alike, including Switzerland, Sweden, Norway, Germany, France, Hong Kong, Singapore, Brazil, China, Australia, New Zealand, and Canada. - in Project Syndicate

The laissez-faire Anglo-Saxon Model has also now failed miserably

Some of the lessons about the need for prudential regulation of the financial system were lost in the Reagan-Thatcher era, when the appetite for massive deregulation was created in part by the flaws in Europe’s social-welfare model. Those flaws were reflected in yawning fiscal deficits, regulatory overkill, and a lack of economic dynamism that led to sclerotic growth then and the eurozone’s sovereign-debt crisis now.

But the laissez-faire Anglo-Saxon model has also now failed miserably. To stabilize market-oriented economies requires a return to the right balance between markets and provision of public goods. That means moving away from both the Anglo-Saxon model of unregulated markets and the continental European model of deficit-driven welfare states. Even an alternative “Asian” growth model – if there really is one – has not prevented a rise in inequality in China, India, and elsewhere.

Free Markets don’t generate enough final demand

The result is that free markets don’t generate enough final demand. In the US, for example, slashing labor costs has sharply reduced the share of labor income in GDP. With credit exhausted, the effects on aggregate demand of decades of redistribution of income and wealth – from labor to capital, from wages to profits, from poor to rich, and from households to corporate firms – have become severe, owing to the lower marginal propensity of firms/capital owners/rich households to spend.

Karl Marx oversold socialism, but he was right

The problem is not new. Karl Marx oversold socialism, but he was right in claiming that globalization, unfettered financial capitalism, and redistribution of income and wealth from labor to capital could lead capitalism to self-destruct. As he argued, unregulated capitalism can lead to regular bouts of over-capacity, under-consumption, and the recurrence of destructive financial crises, fueled by credit bubbles and asset-price booms and busts.
