For example, many countries that were tightening their monetary policy when the first signs of turbulence emerged have either put interest rate hikes on hold, or, like Brazil, have already started to reduce rates.

That provides the rationale for the Fed s zero interest rate policy but at the obvious cost of discriminating against savers, who lose any semblance of interest income.

Critics suggest that QE2 is really intended only to create inflationary expectations and thus encourage acquisition of more risky assets by reducing rates on Treasury bills with longer term maturities (5 7 years and 7 10 years).

Since 15 June 2004, Côte d'Ivoire has accumulated significant arrears on its debt obligations to the World Bank and, on 1 November 2004, it fell into non accrual status.

The Federal Reserve is of a similar mind, not only maintaining rock bottom short term interest rates, but also embarking on an adventurous policy targeting long term rates.

Past experience implies that the real rate will rise to at least 2 , taking the total nominal interest rate to more than 4 , even if expected inflation remains at just 2 .

Interest

But did Greenspan really expect interest rates to remain permanently at 1 a negative real interest rate? Did he not think about what would happen to poor Americans with variable rate mortgages if interest rates rose, as they almost surely would?

If consumers go on a spending binge, we expect the world's central banks to raise interest rates to cool off construction spending and free up the resources needed to prevent shortage inducing inflation.
