Yeah agree. it would reduce stigma and the need to hoard reserves. Would be quite straightforward to implement in the EA as banks already have a collateral pool at ECB.

Hence why the BOE did this

In the end it all comes down reliquifying impaired collateral - central banks don’t face PE so so they need intermediation for the liquidity injection be effective. In an environment where balance sheet would be withdrawn at pace, it is a real problem.

It doesn’t have to sell its loans in the open market. You’ll find out about the problems in the old fashioned way. Slowly, as they can’t refinance.

IPSO have published their verdict on The Daily Telegraph’s fake £345,000-a year banker couple who claimed they couldn’t afford five holidays.

The paper declined to explain to the watchdog how the article came to be published - but our reporting at the time sets it out…

Everyone has their own way of looking at it. That’s generally the framework that I work with. But many will just look at “rates to explain rates“ so you’re looking more at RV dislocation.

My real issue with the Bank is that it allowed front end rate expectations to become completely deanchored - high level of GBP gamma relative to other markets was a reflection of deterioration in policy credibility

Changes in CAPB are the only clean measure of changing fiscal stance. Even more brutally, cash is king so how much money you are raising a from the market in any given year matters within a term premium framework where the varying factor is not neutral rate expectations.

Default for a DM is different to default for a corporate. Higher inflation, institutional changes or changing policy targets all are effectively forms of default. We just don’t call them.

Sympathetic to the argument but needs to recognise that neutral rates are different across economies and that drives some of the difference in yields. Successive governments have taken windfall and use them to fund tax cuts or current spending rather than do anything responsible…..
