INET Economics posted essay on new research shedding light on how today’s advanced economies depend on private sector credit more than anything we have ever seen before .. the research work indicates that our economic future could be very different from our recent past, when financial crises were relatively rare .. “Crises could become more commonplace, which will impact every stage of our financial lives, from cradle to retirement. Do we just fasten our seatbelts for a bumpy ride, or is there a way to smoothe the path ahead?” ..  more financial instability will introduce more uncertainty down the line .. “Operating in this milieu, the central banks, the governments, the Bank for International Settlements (BIS), the International Monetary Fund (IMF), and other parts of the macro-financial policy world are now taking a much keener interest in what the pros and cons of different financial regulatory structures and various macroprudential tools (designed to identify and lessen the risks to the financial system) might be.” – [Macroprudential tools entail financial repression – inflation, negative interest rates, ring fencing regulations & obfuscation.]
