Current assets Current assets are cash and other assets expected to be converted to cash or consumed either in a year or in the operating cycle (whichever is longer), without disturbing the normal operations of a business.

Avoiding another asset and credit bubble from arising by including the price of assets like housing in the determination of monetary policy is also important.

The Bank of England acted it intervened in the market and bought bonds for cash, pushing up the prices of financial assets and expanding the money supply.

The essential role of asset inflation has been especially visible as a result of the housing bubble, which also highlights the role of monetary policy.

First, the total volume of JGBs has become extremely high relative to households net monetary assets, which stand at roughly 1,100 trillion.

Prior to the crisis, asset price cycles were seen by many as basically harmless or, at least, as a relatively insignificant monetary policy channel.

Second, a massive wave of liquidity, via easy monetary policy, is chasing assets, including commodities, which may eventually stoke inflation further.

Japanese households hold about 1,100 trillion in net monetary assets, an amount that will be exceeded in about 3 5 years by the value of JGBs.

Low debt and high liquidity should be valued for avoidance of cash flow distress, ensuring greater flexibility in adjusting asset allocation, and creating opportunities in the aftermath of a crisis.

Most important, however, has been what looks, from today s perspective, like a permanent collapse in the risk bearing capacity of the private marketplace, and a permanent and large increase in the perceived riskiness of financial assets worldwide and of the businesses whose cash flows underpin them.

To be sure, at the height of the crisis, the combined effect of fiscal stimulus and massive monetary easing had a big impact in preventing a credit freeze and limiting the downward spiral in asset prices and real economic activity.

Conversely, when the monetary authority tightens credit too quickly, asset prices become more volatile, resulting in more non performing loans and triggering economic shocks.

Another downside risk is that the dollar funded carry trade may unravel, crashing the global asset bubble that it, together with the wave of monetary liquidity, has caused.

Many Europeans tried to argue in recent years that monetary policy should also take asset price developments into account, whereas American policymakers and academics largely resisted this approach.

But positive net assets are not sufficient to eliminate financial risk, which also depends on asset structure (the liquidity of assets and the alignment of maturities of assets and liabilities).

The most obvious explanation for the German peculiarity is an obsession with the lessons of German history, particularly the two episodes of runaway inflation in the twentieth century, in which holders of monetary assets were expropriated.

Instead, excess liquidity and fresh asset bubbles could emerge in the world s financial and housing markets, impeding, if not torpedoing, growth.
