However, I do have a few words to say about currencies and monetary policies.Readers of this blog would know that I have been very critical of the idea of the currency peg of Hong Kong Dollar. Currency peg makes the central bank hopeless in setting monetary policy, unless we peg to a currency in which the economy of that country bears a closer relationship with ours. That was why I said pegging HKD to CNY make more sense now.In the case of Europe, it is not about a peg, but a single curency for EU. The motivation of using Euro is simple.

They argue that Dr. Paul is on the fringe while they give the podium to fear mongers and those that laugh at economic policy. The media is now on the fringe and are having a hard time competing with an alternative source of information, you. That is right, now all you need is time, a love of knowledge and you have a podium to voice your opinion. In the last few debates, Fox news has tried to characterize Dr. Paul as a fringe candidate with only a small amount of supporters.

From Wall Street JournalBEIJING -- China's central bank on Friday said it will continue to moderately tighten monetary policy amid inflation pressures, even as it closely monitors the potential impact of U.S. subprime-mortgage problems on global financial markets and China itself.The comments, in a summary of the People's Bank of China's third-quarter monetary-policy-board meeting, highlight that Beijing is weighing the risk of a domestic economic slowdown because of problems in the U.S. financial sector against the imperative to prevent China's economy from overheating, including curbing consumer-price and asset-price inflation.At the moment, the PBOC's focus remains mainly on the domestic economy, and in the summary it said it "will continue to implement a monetary policy with a moderate tightening bias."The summary, posted on the PBOC's Web site, comes after the August consumer-price index surged 6.5% from a year earlier, the fastest gain in more than 10 years, and as prices i

The European Central Bank donned its two masks again on Thursday. With one hand the ECB decided at its monthly meeting of the governing council to leave the key interest rates unchanged while the other hand continued to create fresh money, showering bidding banks with 42.2 billion Euros in a new overnight tender that drew an average rate of 4.13% or 13 basis points more than the current key overnight rate.The Bank of England (BoE) left its key interest rate unchanged at 5.75% too.In the USA the Federal Reserve allotted a total of new $23 billion in a 1- and 2-week tender besides replacing yesterday's 1-day repo.And they want to make us believe markets are returning to normal. Money market rates tell a very different picture and I rather rely on the data than the propaganda coming from central banks. And in this reality banks are scrambling to borrow funds at rates significantly higher than what the priests of ever expanding credit would like to see implemented.if there were no crisis,

During the course of life, our priorities keep changing. Once what was important may not feel that important later. This may be the case with many borrowers who have forgotten to repay their earlier loans and developed a bad credit history. In such a situation, if they need money, bad credit unsecured loans are the best option. Bad credit may be a result of factors like missed repayments, County Court Judgments, arrears, defaults etc. All these cause the credit score of a borrower to fall. In the credit report issued by FICO, a score of less than 580 is considered to be bad credit. A borrower should be totally aware of his credit history to avail the lowest rates. To get the credit report, other agencies like Equarian, Equifax and Transunion can also be employed. Bad Credit Unsecured Loans allow the borrowers who have bad credit history to borrow money without pledging collateral. No asset is required to be pledged for the loan. An amount ranging from £1000-£25000 can be raised thr

Author: Alan A. RabinPaperback: 352 pagesPublisher: Edward Elgar Publishing (May 2004)Language: EnglishISBN: 1840647442Alan Rabin argues that new Keynesian and new classical macroeconomics, which have dominated the literature and textbooks, have crowded the monetary-disequilibrium hypothesis, or orthodox monetarism, off the intellectual stage. Trying to remedy this imbalance, the author concentrates on what he judges to be the essentials of monetary theory. Emphasizing money’s fundamental role in lubricating exchanges and promoting economic coordination, Alan Rabin argues that when the lubricant goes awry, so do the processes being lubricated. Monetary disequilibrium can have repercussions that last months and even years. The book presents the author’s interpretation of Yeager’s enormous contributions to monetary theory, especially his development of monetary-disequilibrium theory, while also building on the contributions of Patinkin, Clower, Leijonhufvud, Barro and Grossman

This is an interesting question asked by a reader, (thanks Bhavin.)With regard to the recession of 1981 I think that the cause of the recession cannot be entirely attributed to Monetary policy.Reasons for Recession in 19811. Structural problems in economy late 1970s.In 1979 inflation was a significant problem in the UK economy. The inflation was primarily cost push inflation. This was a combination of wage push inflation, caused by powerful trades unions and rising oil prices. To reduce this inflation was arguably necessary for the long term benefit of the economy; to reduce inflation of 20% inevitably leads to some slow down in economic growth.2. Strength of Sterling.Normally the increased production of oil would be beneficial for an economy. However in the case of the UK it came at an unfortunate time. The discovery of oil combined with high interest rates caused a significant appreciation in the £. This caused real problems for exporters. It was in the manufacturing export sector w

The aim of monetary policy is to achieve the governments inflation target of CPI= 2% +/-1. They will also consider impact on economic growth and unemployment. But control of inflation is their primary objective. Factors which determine success of Monetary Policy Accuracy of inflation forecasts. Monetary policy is pre emptive which means they try to reduce inflationary pressures before they occur. If inflation is higher than predicted, then interest rates will be too low to control inflation. Inflation predictions could be wrong if there is an unexpected rise in cost push inflation, for example an increase in the price of oil. In the past 15 years the MPC have benefited from generally low global inflation, However some economists feel that this “golden era” of price stability may not continue indefinitely. E.g. economic shocks associated with rising commodity prices. Time lags. It is estimated interest rate changes can take
