So consumers got overleveraged.

One is leverage.

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.

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.

Emerging Europe s Deleveraging Dilemma

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

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

But it's also, of course, to do with the massive crisis that followed excessive leverage, excessive borrowing in the private sector.

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 .

As a result, households want to spend less and pay down their debts. To some extent, this is the natural aftermath of any credit boom.

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.

Decisions are taken by an elite that controls the levers of power and uses them for its own benefit to ensure that it is continually re elected.

1. 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.

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

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.

NEW YORK The massive volatility and sharp equity price correction now hitting global financial markets signal that most advanced economies are on the brink of a double dip recession. A financial and economic crisis caused by too much private sector debt and leverage led to a massive re leveraging of the public sector in order to prevent Great Depression 2.0.

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.

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.

In considering funding it was deemed necessary to build partnerships and make a business case for forest landscape restoration to leverage funding, and to maximize quick gains, emphasizing immediate benefits for local communities.

Implementation approach A Leveraging policies, legislation, plans and budgets through enhanced knowledge and evidence

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.

But there remains the question of whether consumption share growth is sustainable that is, whether it is the result of income share growth or rising leverage. If it is supported by excessive leverage, effectively shifting future consumption to the present, China could face a significant slowdown or even a major crisis.

The first key factor is deleveraging and the resulting shortfall in aggregate demand. Since the financial crisis began in 2008, several developed countries, having sustained demand with excessive leverage and consumption, have had to repair both private and public balance sheets, which takes time and has left them impaired in terms of growth and employment.

Many Western economies must deal with the nasty legacy of years of excessive borrowing and leveraging those, like Germany, that do not have this problem are linked to neighbors that do. Faced with this reality, different countries will opt for different de leveraging options.

In particular, we understood that the rapid run up of house prices, coupled with the extension of leverage, posed macroeconomic dangers.

One is that, facing declining growth, policymakers will resort to excess investment or leverage (or both), creating instability. The other is that they will resort to neither, and that no alternative growth engines will have been started, leading to an extended slowdown with unpredictable political consequences at home and serious economic consequences abroad.

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.
