3. History
2000, IT Bubble or DotCom Bubble.
When bubble burst, US aggregate demand falling
sharply.
Fed responded by slashing interest rates from 6% to 1%.
Effectively create housing bubbles.
Housing bubble repairing US company and resident
balance sheet.
2007, Sub-prime Mortgage bubble burst .
2008, Lehman Brother Collapse create banking crisis
including Pan Arab Property Crises, European Debt
Crisis.
8. Strategy To Solve Debt Crisis
Previous Strategy – Fiscal Stimulus – Tax Cut,
Government Spending, and Monetary Stimulus –
Lowering Interest Rate.
Ongoing Strategy – Quantitative and Qualitative
Easing.
Latest Strategy – Hair Cut and Operation Twist.
9. Previous Strategy to Solve Debt Crisis
Monetary Stimulus.
Objective: support demand creation.
Mechanism .
Lowering interest Rate
Buying short run and long run government debt.
Government debt price up.

All this strategy FAIL.

19. Ongoing Strategy to Solve Debt Crisis.
Quantitative Easing = Printing money to buy Treasury Securities.
Qualitative Easing = Buying Less Liquid and Riskier Securities into
Central Bank Balance Sheet.
Motives:
Preventing Deflation
Monetizing Debt such as Federal Agency Debt Securities and Buying
Toxic Asset from Banking such as Mortgage Backed Securities.
Mechanism
Fed buy directly from bank, i.e. Goldman Sach, Morgan Stanley, etc.
not from Treasury Department.
FYI, Fed have a close relationship with Goldman Sach
Henry Paulson Secretary of the Treasury formerly Goldman Sach CEO.
William Dudley Federal Reserve New York formerly Goldman Sach partner.
20. Problems with
Quantitative and Qualitative Easing
Monetizing debt
Printing money won’t solve debt crises.
Planting the seeds of hyperinflation.
Japan history show Quantitative Easing FAIL.
21. We Believe QE Exacerbate Debt Crisis
Primary reason why de-leveraging process need at
least 10 years to revive real economic power.
We do not want to accept reality that deflation are good
and unavoidable.
Waiting present capacity to be obsolete and replace with
new capacity.
Property bubbles destroy value, while previous bubbles
from railroad bubbles to dotcom bubbles created
economic infrastructure for future value creation.
De-Leveraging cannot be done by printing money.
22. Latest Strategy to Solve Debt Crisis
Europe Hair Cut
Country : Greek government debt hair cut 50%.
Detail unknown yet ...
US Operation Twist
Selling Short Term Treasury.
Buying Long Term Treasury.
Motives:
Investor: increase investor appetite to invest in US.
Break Liquidity Trap: reduce banking sector appetite to invest in
long term treasury financed by short term treasury.
Result: Fail.
23. Problem With Hair Cut.
Greek economic structural problem not addressed,
debt problem will reemerge.
Currency overvalue.
Large debt and corporate debt overhang (… but mostly
hidden).
Moral Hazard problems.
Other PIIGS country may follow suit.
24. After Hair Cut Agreement
Bond Yield Keep On Rising.
Political Instability Getting Severe.
31. Quo Vadis Euro?
Why Euro need to breakup?
No homogeneity in economic performance within euro country.
No instrument available to correct differences in economic
performance within euro country.
Who should leave Euro?
Source of problem perspective, Germany and France should leave Euro.
Consistently experience surplus economy while neighbors country consistently
experience deficit economy.
Currency exchange rate too low.
Capacity to absorb shock perspective, Germany and France.
Economic adjustment, PIIGS countries.
Politic perspective, no countries permitted to leave Euro.
Will Euro breakup in 2012?
Unlikely.
32. Is China Strong Enough to be A Savior?
At first glance, ….
Large currency reserve.
High economic growth rate.
34. Deeper Analysis (1)
US and China Economy Relationship.
A bugs life movie.
Hopper: It's a bug-eat-bug world out there, princess.
One of those Circle of Life kind of things. Now let me
tell you how things are supposed to work: The sun grows
the food, the ants pick the food, the grasshoppers eat the
food...
Paul Krugman
They give us poisoned products, we give them worthless
paper.
35. Deeper Analysis (2)
Slowing Economic Growth.
Inflation pressure getting higher while money
supply and velocity getting lower.
Sign property bubbles ready to burst?
Cooling in property price.
According to Andy Xie
Price Bubbles indication: average price for Shanghai
apartment around US$ 200.000, Average disposable income
US$ 4.000.
Quantity Bubbles indication: 64.5 million urban electricity
meters registered zero consumption.
39. Last Issue, US Treasury Bond Bubbles
What is bond bubbles?
Price above fundamental values.
Reasons of Treasury Bond Bubbles
Persistent US Deficit financed by debt.
Fed printing money, M2 growth around 35% since 2007 until
present.
Treasury Yield very low, not justified by US government
ability to pay and real value keep on plummet as fed printing
press still active.
I think investor do not want to be paid by funny money.
This maybe a black swan event.
When bond bubbles burst similar to “A straw that broke
camel back”.
40. Why US Treasury Bond
Bubbles Burst Matter?
All central bank hold their currency reserve in US$
currency and in US Treasury Bond as risk free
instrument.
When US Treasury Bond price plummet, all central
bank losing money and losing credibility as lender of
last resort, bank run may emerging, creating panic.
When US Treasury Bond price plummet, money
market fund, structured product i.e. CDO may default,
panic among banks, fund managers, and investors.
Massive wealth loss will lead to hyper deflation.
41. Early Indication US$
Losing Foreign Investor Appetite
According to Nouriel Roubini
US Public debt holding period declining
A decade ago the average maturity was close to 60
months.
2009, the average maturity drop to below 50 month.
Acquired US$ for foreign currency reserve declining.
2001, US$ made up a little over 70% of the currency
reserves held overseas.
2008, 63% of newly acquired reserves.
Third quarter 2009, 37% of newly acquired reserves.

43. Do Indonesia Meet
The Qualification as SAFE HAVEN?
Short Run – NONE
Globalization ensuring that no single country immune
to global crisis.
Medium Term to Long Term – maybe YES
Emerging Market, including Indonesia, as world new
engine growth.
Heavy reliance to domestic demand.
Poverty trend dropping.
