Noahpinion: Does QE cause deflation? Oh my gosh.
Should TARGET balances be restricted? By now most readers of European financial newspapers and blogs will have come across Hans-Werner Sinn’s repeated assertions (see Sinn 2011a and 2011b on this site and his latest here) about Germany’s “stealth bailout” of European peripheral economies and the “ticking time bomb” hidden in the €300 billion claims of the Bundesbank in the Eurozone payment system TARGET2.
Journalists (in English e.g. The Renminbi: Soon to Be a Reserve Currency? I get the question all the time: when will the Chinese renminbi (RMB) replace the US dollar as the major world reserve currency?
The assumption behind such questions is almost always that the coming crisis in US entitlement programs will force the Fed to monetize even more debt, thereby killing the dollar. Or some derivative line of that thought. Contrary to the thinking of fretful dollar skeptics, my firm belief is that the US dollar is going to become even stronger and will at some point actually deserve to be the reserve currency of choice rather than merely the prettiest girl in the ugly contest – the last currency standing, so to speak. Advertisement But whether the Chinese RMB will become a reserve currency is an entirely different question. Central bank transparency: a delicate balancing act. “I enclose a document describing some of MI6s operations against member states of the European Union,” reads a letter addressed to the Intelligence Services Select Committee in 1998 and written by the ex-MI6 employee Richard Tomlinson.
Since his dismissal from the British Secret Services in 1995, the New Zealand-born, Cambridge University-educated individual has been hounded and even imprisoned by his former employer on account of spilling state secrets and making supposedly spurious accusations against the agency. As a consequence, the former spy today ranks among the world’s most audacious whistle-blowers, and while his accusations fall short of Bradley Manning and Edward Snowden in terms of scale, the ramifications have been similarly impressive. Intelligence as an economic tool“I would like to draw your attention to MI6s operations against fellow member states of the European Union,” wrote Tomlinson in one of his many statements made against his former employer.
Jim Grant: We’re In An Era Of "Central Bank Worship" By Henry Bonner of Sprott Global Jim Grant: We’re in an Era of ‘Central Bank Worship’ Jim Grant is the publisher and editor of Grant’s Interest Rate Observer, a bi-monthly newsletter that he founded in 1983, around the time when bonds were considered some of the worst investments – when they yielded 13 to 15 percent.
Rick Rule, Chairman of Sprott US Holdings Inc., often quotes Jim Grant’s description of government bonds as ‘return-free risk.’ Yes, High Taxes Do Encourage Wealth Creators to Leave. Fasten your seat belts for a turbulent QE exit - FT.com. Once the Federal Reserve begins raising rates, it’s likely to raise interest rates at nearly every meeting of the Federal Open Market Committee for two years, according to the dot plot released by the Fed today.
The federal funds rate is now between 0% and 0.25% and is likely to remain there for a “considerable time,” the Fed said Wednesday. But by the end of 2017, the majority of the committee expects the fed funds rate to rise to around 3.75%. The Fed usually raises rates in quarter-point moves. That means the end game of 3.75% is 13 rate hikes away. The dot plot from the Federal Reserve. The dot plot suggests that the Fed may raise rates four times in 2015, from 0.25% to 1.25%.

Prior to 10 March 2004, changes to the interest rate for main refinancing operations were, as a rule, effective as of the first operation following the date indicated, unless stated otherwise. ( 1 ) On 22 December 1998 the ECB announced that, as an exceptional measure between 4 and 21 January 1999, a narrow corridor of 50 basis points would be applied between the interest rates for the marginal lending facility and the deposit facility, aimed at facilitating the transition to the new regime by market participants. ( 2 ) On 8 June 2000 the ECB announced that, starting from the operation to be settled on 28 June 2000, the main refinancing operations of the Eurosystem would be conducted as variable rate tenders.

Why Are Banks Holding So Many Excess Reserves? - sr380.pdf. If the Bank of England is going to do more QE, it should get ultra adventur. The Bank of England.
As regular readers will know, I'm not in favour of a new programme of "quantitative easing" for the UK in current circumstances. Not until there is an extreme deflationary threat does it strike me as warranted. That moment may come soon enough, but we are not yet there. Yet perhaps I've been a little too dogmatic here, for I have assumed that any fresh programme of QE from the Bank of England would, as before, target mainly UK government bonds (gilt edged stock), where yields are already at record lows and where adding yet another source of demand to markets where investors seem unprepared to invest in anything else other than gilts would seem to be close to insane.
If the rate of interest on bonds is already close to zero, it's not clear that pushing it marginally lower still would persuade investors to put their money in higher risk assets.

China’s central bank, the People’s Bank of China, has the largest stash of foreign reserves of any in the world.
But it’s tired of being so loaded. In November, Yi Gang, the PBOC’s deputy governor said, “It’s no longer in China’s favor to accumulate foreign-exchange reserves.” And yet, the huge wad of US dollars (which make up the bulk of its foreign currency) just keeps getting bigger. In 2013, China amassed $508 billion in foreign reserves, a big jump from the previous year’s $130 billion. It now has $3.82 trillion (link in Chinese). This is a problem for several reasons.

Diese Seite soll dazu dienen, den Vorgang der Kreditschöpfung und Überweisung Schritt für Schritt zu erläutern und zu zeigen, dass zu keinem Zeitpunkt Einzahlungen von Sparern benötigt werden.

Amerikas Geldpolitik: Das entwertete Inflationsziel - Wirtschaft - FAZ. Options for Europe – Part 68. The title is my current working title for a book I am finalising over the next few months on the Eurozone. If all goes well (and it should) it will be published in both Italian and English by very well-known publishers. The publication date for the Italian edition is tentatively late April to early May 2014. Courtesy of the recently declassified Fed discount window documents, we now know that the biggest beneficiaries of the Fed's generosity during the peak of the credit crisis were foreign banks, among which Belgium's Dexia was the most troubled, and thus most lent to, bank.
Having been thus exposed, many speculated that going forward the US central bank would primarily focus its "rescue" efforts on US banks, not US-based (or local branches) of foreign (read European) banks: after all that's what the ECB is for, while the Fed's role is to stimulate US employment and to keep US inflation modest. And furthermore, should the ECB need to bail out its banks, it could simply do what the Fed does, and monetize debt, thus boosting its assets, while concurrently expanding its excess reserves thus generating fungible capital which would go to European banks. Wrong. For those who can't wait for the punchline, here it is. So how did cash held by US banks fare during QE2? SweepMeasures.com. In a sweep program, banks move a portion of funds from customer demand deposits or other checkable deposits into instruments with zero statutory reserve requirements.
Under retail sweep programs, which began in January 1994, banks move funds from demand deposits or other checkable deposits into money market deposit accounts as part of savings accounts. Customers have unrestricted checking privileges on both swept and unswept funds; in fact, the sweeping process is generally invisible to the customers. Under commercial demand deposit sweep programs, banks establish investment accounts with their customers that are linked to their demand deposits. Banks maintain a predetermined target balance in demand deposits by sweeping funds to or from the linked investment account as needed. Though commercial demand deposit sweep programs have existed since the 1970s, funds in these sweep accounts have increased sharply since the mid-1990s.

How Important Is Alexa Ranking? All businesses that have taken up online marketing, aim at improving their conversion rate. Now, there are different ways of attracting targeted traffic. Some go for a good place in the SERPs, others like to know that their site receives heavy traffic. Either way, everybody has this goal of achieving financial success.

In the introductory chapter we said: Trade balances reflect the ability of local private and public companies to make higher profits compared to the international competition. While local goods are paid with foreign currency, the latter shows a higher supply and must depreciate. The ECB should further ease monetary policy.
