The residents sector accounts for an increasing share of the total debt in the real economy, and the leverage ratio has risen rapidly.

One is leverage.

During the 1990s, large business groups of the Republic of Korea (chaebols) expanded quickly through financing from domestic banks, becoming highly leveraged (with an average debt to equity ratio of about 400 per cent in 1997).

The suitability of the tight credit and high interest rate policies in the case of the Republic of Korea, given the high leverage position of its private firms, is beyond the scope of the present report.

The US is adjusting structurally and generating real (inflation adjusted) GDP growth (though well below its potential annual rate of 3 3.5 ). The tradable sector is expanding and is not dependent on leverage to generate aggregate demand.

Seeing such data, one cannot help but be stupefied. According to the statistical data of Suning Financial Research Institute, the leverage ratio of Chinese households was only 3 in 1996 and 18 in 2008. But this figure doubled in just six years since the trend of rapid growth of leverage ratio set in, reaching 36.4 . By the third quarter of 2017, the leverage ratio of households has reached 48.6 .

Emerging Europe s Deleveraging Dilemma

So consumers got overleveraged.

It's because there's a little more leverage in terms of the Chinese.

With insufficient profits to use for investment, nonfinancial corporations will become increasingly dependent on external finance. As their leverage ratios increase, so will their risk premiums, causing their borrowing costs to rise and undermining their profitability further.

It shows leverage, trended out from 1919 to 2009.

One explanation is that the advanced economies had taken on too much debt and needed to deleverage, contributing to a pattern of public sector underinvestment and depressing consumption and private investment as well. But deleveraging is a temporary process, not one that limits growth indefinitely.

First, capital requirements should be set as a straightforward ratio of common equity to total assets, thereby abandoning all reference to banks own risk management models. The new capital ratio should be raised to 7 10 of total assets in order to dampen risk taking by bankers and minimize the real economic impact of large scale deleveraging following a loss of confidence in the banking system.

If you do find yourself there, stop the desire to deleverage by having the central bank buy bonds for cash, thereby pushing down interest rates, so that holding debt becomes more attractive than holding cash.

But it was a bubble and a highly leveraged one at that. While periodic bubbles may be unavoidable, and no bubble is without consequences, a highly leveraged bubble tends to cause far more damage, owing to its impact on the real economy and the duration of the deleveraging process.

And it has all kinds of levers and ball bearings and gadgets and gauges.

We started with a motor with a little lever, a little force transfuser.

Without disputing the need for some deleveraging, a new incarnation of the Vienna Initiative Vienna 2.0 seeks to make the process orderly. After all, excessive and chaotic deleveraging by lenders to emerging Europe and the ensuing credit crunch would destabilize this economically and institutionally fragile region.

Don t go there in the first place avoid whatever it is whether external pressure under the gold standard, asset price bubbles, or leverage and panic cycles such as that of 2003 2009 that creates the desire to deleverage.

4. If that fails, stop the desire to deleverage by promising to print more money in the future, which would raise the rate of inflation and make holding cash less attractive than spending it.

And the problem with leverage is it makes the U.S. financial system look like this.

Weights for calculation of overall ratiob

If the economy as a whole desires to deleverage, a depression ensues. It is then the central bank s job to intervene in the banking system in order to push the market interest rate to the natural interest rate, thereby balancing the economy at full employment without excess inflation.

The fundamental problems that triggered alarm bells in the first place including real estate bubbles, local government debt, rapid growth in shadow banking activity, and rising corporate leverage ratios remain unresolved. Of these, the most immediate threat to China s economic and financial stability is the combination of high borrowing costs, low profitability for nonfinancial corporations, and very high corporate leverage ratios.

You'd be better off with an ordinary cue. That's a bridge.

It's starting to play with them as levers, to get conscious about them and to move to different places.

If you put up a prize, you can get literally a 50 to one leverage on your dollars.

Thereafter, the earnings from these projects serve to leverage additional projects and to replenish the administrative budget.

Translating policies, legislation, plans and budgets into large scale accelerated action

Enterprises in industries with excess capacity have a larger pressure of debt repayment. De capacity and de leveraging today means to promote the gradual removing of debt risks, said Xu Gao.

LONDON The Great Recession of 2008 2009 was triggered by excessive debt accumulation and leverage on the part of households, financial institutions, and even the corporate sector in many advanced economies. While there is much talk about de leveraging as the crisis wanes, the reality is that private sector debt ratios have stabilized at very high levels.

Indeed, because most bank loans in China unlike, say, in Europe are now locked up in infrastructure and other physical assets, boosting demand is preferable to deleveraging. The key is to lower interest rates enough to mitigate the financial risks of high leverage and enable the restructuring of local government debts.

The British authorities believe that they are building a resilient global financial center that is capable of assuming big risks and withstanding large shocks either home grown or transmitted from abroad (that is, from the eurozone). But even HSBC, the best capitalized of the lot, has a leverage ratio of only 4.6 , while Barclays ratio is under 3 .

That pattern came to a sudden stop in the financial crisis of 2008. Private sector leverage declined and public sector leverage reached and exceeded sustainable limits, with Greece being only the most extreme example.
