More monetary and credit easing is also required for the US Federal Reserve, the Bank of Japan, the Bank of England, and the Swiss National Bank.

The BoJ has already announced it, the Bank of England (BoE) is likely to do so soon, and the Fed will certainly announce it at its November meeting. In principle, there is little difference between monetary easing lower policy rates or more QE that leads to currency weakening and direct intervention in currency markets to achieve the same goal.

The current round of monetary easing underway in many advanced countries, together with strong expectations of renminbi appreciation, are also fueling currency speculation, placing further upward pressure on the exchange rate.

The crucial policy issue ahead, however, is how to time and sequence the exit strategy from this massive monetary and fiscal easing.

A further source of stimulus is quantitative easing, or, more simply, printing money.

The Fed s monetary easing did temporarily contribute to a weaker dollar, which boosted net exports.

The market s lack of response was an important indicator that monetary easing is no longer a useful tool for increasing economic activity.

With credit markets impaired, further quantitative easing may still be needed.

That is both logical and rational and thus not something that the US Federal Reserve can offset with unconventional monetary easing.

But, following monetary easing and fiscal expansion, it is Abenomics third arrow that will prove most important and most politically challenging.

First, the exit strategy from monetary and fiscal easing could be botched, because policymakers are damned if they do and damned if they don t.

Monetary easing and fiscal stimulus, combined with structural measures to restore private firms to financial health, would stimulate household expenditure and business investment.

Indeed, though the US pretends not to intervene to weaken the dollar, it is actively doing precisely that via more QE.

In both 2010 and 2011, leading economic indicators showed that the first half slowdown had bottomed out, and that growth was already accelerating before the announcement of monetary easing.

Additional facilitation, brokering and negotiating support was needed to help bridge the cultural differences and other barriers that such partnerships encountered.

After all, while the previous rounds of US monetary easing have been associated with a persistent increase in equity prices, the size and duration of QE3 are more substantial. But, despite the Fed s impressive commitment to aggressive monetary easing, its effects on the real economy and on US equities could well be smaller and more fleeting than those of previous QE rounds.

Monetary loosening worked only because households took on more debt, leaving the economy more vulnerable to rising interest rates.

The price of the monetary union s survival, and thus that of the European project, is more community a banking union, fiscal union, and political union.

The Bank of England has moved from QE to CE (credit easing), and the Bank of Japan has repeatedly increased the size of its QE operations.

The biggest policy risk is that the exit strategy from monetary and fiscal easing is somehow botched, because policymakers are damned if they do and damned if they don t.

The monetary easing undertaken by the US Federal Reserve raised expectations for a devaluation of the US dollar that might help US exports.

Expectations of aggressive QE by the Fed have already weakened the dollar and raised serious concerns in Europe, emerging markets, and Japan.

Russian policy, based on immediate monetary gain and a hope of diplomatic influence, is dangerously short sighted.

Simply put, we live in a world in which there is too much supply and too little demand. The result is persistent disinflationary, if not deflationary, pressure, despite aggressive monetary easing.

Because the ECB has already been using its balance sheet to help bring down borrowing costs in the eurozone s periphery, it has been cautious in its approach to monetary easing.

But they assumed that, over time, monetary unification would create momentum for national reforms, further economic integration, and some form of political unification.

Hard to be Easing

C. Facilitation

And, as more and more countries intervene to weaken their exchange rates in response to America s attempt at competitive devaluation through quantitative easing, the problem is becoming worse.

NEW YORK The European Central Bank has finally launched a policy of quantitative easing (QE). The key question at this stage is whether Germany will give the ECB the freedom of maneuver needed to carry out this monetary expansion with sufficient boldness.

With more key currencies in place, the perspective of a truly multipolar currency system comes in sight, with an increased role for the SDR.

The Fed s monetary easing did temporarily contribute to a weaker dollar, which boosted net exports. But the dollar s decline has more recently been reversed by the global flight to safety by investors abandoning the euro.

Moreover, the Fed has left the door open to more quantitative easing next year a tacit acknowledgement that the recovery will be long and sluggish.

Even if monetary easing is phased out later rather than sooner when the economic recovery is more robust markets and investors need clarity in advance on the parameters that will determine the timing and speed of the exit.

But continued growth increases demand for oil, sending prices even higher. The alternative to monetary and fiscal expansion is recession, at which point oil prices would stop rising.

Third, in response to slower growth and lower inflation (owing partly to lower commodity prices), the world s major central banks pursued another round of unconventional monetary easing lower policy rates, forward guidance, quantitative easing (QE), and credit easing.
