We think this poses a greater likelihood for inflationary pressures to build.” “Rates were very low and central bank balance sheets (and money creation) had surged. But the liquidity then sat in the banking system—including as excess reserves at the Fed,” he wrote in an email. “Money creation must translate into increased lending and spending in order for it to be inflationary.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
