To define an interest rate fully, allowing comparisons with other interest rates, both the interest rate and the compounding frequency must be disclosed.

In the previous tightening cycle, which began in 2004, it took the Fed two years to normalize the policy rate.

So a US hard landing and global slowdown is unavoidable. Much greater and more rapid reduction of official interest rates may at best affect how long and protracted the downturn will be.

But this time the downturn was not caused by higher interest rates, and reducing those rates did not produce a strong rebound.

The Fed waited too long to start the normalization process, and, because it was more aggressive in lowering rates in the downward phase of the interest rate cycle, it has had to be more aggressive in raising them in the upward phase.

Over the next year or so, the Fed is likely to enter a tightening cycle, raising interest rates on a steady and sustained basis.

Meanwhile, heightened international competition kept the lid on inflation, and interest rates remained low, giving a further boost to consumer spending and completing what looked like a virtuous growth circle.

Moreover, developing countries lack the resources to engage in the massive stimulus policies of the advanced countries. Making matters worse, the IMF still forces most countries that turn to it for help to raise interest rates and lower spending, worsening the downturns.

Second, China s central bank still controls interest rates by enforcing a roughly three percentage point spread between deposit rates and lending rates.

This ratio is called the mechanical advantage.

Central banks respond to lowered demand by reducing interest rates and to higher expected inflation by raising interest rates.
