Interest rates are normal, the world is not

3 days ago | businesstimes.com.sg | Martin Wolf

THE interest rate, real and nominal, on long-term safe assets is perhaps the most important price in a capitalist economy. It tells one about confidence in governments and the economy. In recent years, these prices have normalised. The era of ultra-low interest rates that began in 2007 to 2009, with the financial crises, seems to be over. An era of normality seemed to be returning. Hurrah! But the world does not really look very "normal". Should we be waiting for big new shocks, instead?

Uma era de normalidade parecia estar retornando. Viva! Mas o mundo não parece realmente muito "normal".

The UK’s trade performance remains dire

1 week ago | irishtimes.com | Martin Wolf

This month the UK has signed trade deals with India, the US and the European Union. At a time of worry about the prospects for world trade, this should be a reason for feeling less depressed about the outlook for Britain. But the deals, while better than none, might not merit even one cheer.

Trump útočí na dolár. Aké sú možnosti svetovej meny?

Americký dolár sa niekedy správa podľa politických aktivít prezidenta Donalda Trumpa. FOTO: ReutersVäčšina sveta obchoduje v americkej mene. Autor je komentátorom Financial Times.
