Viking Yachts Okean Yachts China and other countries are right to claim that QE2 is likely to lead to asset bubbles outside the US, but only, as the US points out, in countries that intervene to prevent dollar depreciation, something the US is anyway eager to discourage.
The U. Federal Reserve announced Wednesday it would buy billion dollars of Treasury bonds, effectively printing money to jumpstart the flagging American economy.
The move is a boost to the U. The devaluation of the U. The International Monetary Fund IMF has recently warned that Asia and other emerging markets are facing the double risks of a huge influx of foreign capital and an accumulation of inflation pressure.
Ironically, one of the factors driving big international commodity prices up is the depreciation of the U. In the past few months, a vicious cycle of currency flow became obvious. The Fed launched a round of quantitative easing, causing an overflow of capital hot money pooled in other countries. This led to imported inflation jeopardizing the economies of other countries, which were then forced to intervene in the foreign exchange market. The last line is a little funny, since not all countries only began intervening in response to dollar weakness, but the key point is that it is mainly the combination of QE2 and intervention that causes monetary expansion outside the US.
And if the US is determined to get the dollar to depreciate, something that other countries including China have no trouble accomplishing with their own currencies, it is hard to see why putting pressure on interveners would not be in the US interest. China will force banks to hold more foreign exchange and strengthen auditing of overseas fund raising as part of efforts to crack down on hot-money inflows.
The government will also regulate Chinese special-purpose vehicles overseas and tighten controls on equity investments by foreign companies in China, it said. Chinese and European leaders have said they plan to discuss the impact of quantitative easing at the Group of 20 summit this week in Seoul as well as the dangers of competitive currency devaluations. Meanwhile the South China Morning Post had this to say, on a related topic:. China signalled its intention on Tuesday to crack down on excess cash sloshing around its financial system, by unexpectedly raising the yield on bills at a central bank auction and vowing to stem hot money inflows.
And even if SAFE can prevent some hot money inflow, it will not be enough to keep matters from getting worse, especially since most hot money inflow is likely to be generated by small and medium family businesses in China with international links. These are hard to monitor and control. On Wednesday there were also reports that the PBoC raised minimum reserves again, in order to soak up liquidity. According to an article in the South China Morning Post :. China has increased required reserves for its biggest banks to mop up some of the cash that is streaming into the country and posing a growing inflationary threat.
The move means the biggest banks are setting aside a record 18 per cent in reserves, BNP Paribas said in a note to clients. I feel bad for countries like Brazil and Thailand that are being caught up in this monetary tug-of-war between the US on one side and China and countries that intervene on the other. So apparently does Martin Wolf. The real question is whether China has the power, long enjoyed by the US, to stand steadfast against outside pressures.
Put another way, China will only undertake a fast revaluation if other countries can credibly threaten punishment. The long-standing view in China is that the US and its allies lack the will to punish, even if they may have the means. They also gain little from an upward valuation. Research suggests that even a 20 per cent appreciation will have minimal impact on the US economy. China, on the other hand, will see employment and GDP drop by over 3 per cent. Wow, if this is true, we have a real problem.
This is a great setting for some pretty foolish brinkmanship. Wow again! But if the world has an overconsumption problem along with an unemployment problem, why would the world consider this to be a gift? After all by forcing up the renminbi Washington wants to lower the cost to Chinese households of foreign consumption and pay for it by raising the cost to Americans of Chinese consumption.
Maybe not.
