Official failure QE: Sweden has not coped with the main task

Probably have all the experts
and analysts rattled the world on how to
dangerous program of quantitative
easing, although a couple of years ago about
it wrote only the bravest
economists. But then came the confirmation
- the example of Sweden officially indicates
that QE can not fulfill even its
The main purpose.

Yes indeed,
in fact, many experts have warned,
that the redemption of bonds by central banks
will lead to a rapid drop in liquidity.
But attempts Fed, ECB, Bank of Japan initially led
to "phantom" liquidity, stocks

fundamental reasons. Today

Much more dangerous is
the impact of the quantitative policy
easing, central banks themselves.

See for yourself. In theory
the basic mechanism of QE is to reduce
bond yields, because
Investors should be interested in buying
more risky assets - stocks, for example.
And it worked until the volume was
small, but once QE beyond
certain limits, additional
bond purchases have led to the
the continued growth of profitability. can
this be? Yes, and it has already happened -
Sweden first in the world faced with
phenomenal situation when the program
quantitative easing led to
a marked increase in the government bond yield.

According to the chief
economist at Danske Bank, financial conditions

And all this because
the repo market has no available assets
because of the QE program by the central bank of Sweden.
Deflation is inevitable, experts say:
problems with QE there is also the problem

The result was that
quantitative easing led to
completely opposite results,
and the Bank of Sweden in general drove himself in

if central banks do not reconsider
its policy. And, most of all, for Sweden
