The article discusses capital markets and their role in global economic adjustment, as well as the outlook for a market correction. The world currently displays an alarming number of large economic and financial imbalances. Total government debt in rich economies has risen to a new high as a percentage of GDP, and in many countries households are sliding ever further into debt. Economists try to explain this trend in terms of underlying structural factors, such as differences in demographic trends or productivity growth. An alternative, more worrying, explanation is that the price signals that are supposed to bring the world economy back into balance have become distorted. Patrick Artus, chief economist at IXIS investment bank, points to the disappearance of an equilibrating force that would normally help to correct financial imbalances. In the past, a rapid rise in consumer borrowing and spending would cause a central bank to push up interest rates to curb inflation. Today, however, inflation is being held down by cheap goods from China and other low-wage economies, and inflationary expectations are well anchored thanks to the credibility of central banks. Europe's single monetary policy has also severed the link between short-term interest rates and economic performance in the euro area, says Mr Artus. Because all member states share the same nominal interest rate, slow-growing economies with lower inflation have higher real interest rates than fast growers, such as Spain and Greece. This is the exact opposite of what is needed and it is exacerbating the divergence in growth rates. Interest rates and bond yields are the traffic lights of the global economy: they tell economies when to go and when to stop. When traffic lights break down, there is a risk that the global economy can get snarled up or even crash.
