December 1st Coordinated Central Bank Swaps Announcement
This is the launch of QE III
Dec 1st Coordinated Central Bank Swaps Announcement
• Fed Funding the world for financial stability
• ECB, federal reserve, Swiss National Bank, Bank of England, Bank of Japan, Canadian Central
Bank
ECB Announcement of Unlimited 36 Month Lending Facility
• Monetary Bazooka in disguise
• Widened eligible securities accepted. AAA to B; anything but junk
• Reduced reserve requirements from 2% to 1% = doubled leverage
• Guaranteed carry trade to recapitalize banks & fund sovereigns
“The weapon in question is unlimited three-year lending to banks as planned by the European Central Bank. Match it
against three-year Eurozone government bonds used as security for the loan and you the have the ‘repo-to-maturity’
trade beloved of Mr. Corzine. The ECB lending will be at the average of its short-term rates over the period, currently 1
per cent. Use €10bn of ECB loans to buy Italian debt, at 6.18 per cent, and a bank could pocket a cool €518m in three
years. Not bad for zero risk, and of course great for Italy – and France, whose President Nicolas Sarkozy praised the
idea on Friday.”
- James Mackintosh Financial Times December 12th
