Economy & Money supply
The economy and its growth are affected by the following
factors of money supply: Sources of Money supply (External):
Foreign Exchange Reserves : FE inflows through
FII & FDI investments,
NRI remittances
Export Revenues (Business Goods & Services),
ECBs raised by Corporates
External debt raised by Govt World Bank/IFC/ ADB aided projects
Spending by foreign Embassies and tourists (Business &Leisure)

Growth of Global Economy
A Few Facts:
Post dotcom bust (2000) and 9/11 in 2001, the governmentsacross the world opted for monetary expansion to stimulategrowth and economy.
As a consequence of increased liquidity (of high magnitude) theinterest rates dropped and consumer spending increased.
The risk premiums have dropped and investors opted for riskierassets to increase their returns.
In fact, a global tide has lifted the whole world economyincluding that of India.
Now that the global tide is ebbing, India will fall with all others.
Given our strengths, we may not suffer as badly as others.

The Effects
The core cause of the world wide economic boom was hugeoverspending by Americans in the last decade, based on a
long housing boom. Overspending led to a record US trade deficit of $700
billion/year.
To feed the above demand, while China & India have
supplied the manufactured goods & services, other countrieshave supplied the commodities, because of which the pricesof commodities shot through the roof.
China, averaging a double digit growth for the last so manyyears, has been the biggest beneficiary of the overspendingby Americans.
In turn, India has averaged a growth rate of slightly less than9% during the last 4 years.

Effect on Indian Economy
The easy money supply in the US and other global markets
has caused the investors to look for investments in emerging
markets, to earn a higher rate of return.
The excess money supply found its way into the BRIC
economies, whose stock markets witnessed anunprecedented boom.
As Indian Govt and RBI gave importance to control of
inflation and kept the interest rates high, it has createdproblem of more capital inflows because of interest arbitrage.

Effect Economy.. .Contd..
The rupee appreciated vis-a-vis US dollar, due to more
capital inflows.
The export industries such as IT & Textiles suffered.
There is an all round price increase and the prices of real
estate shot through the roof, threatening to create a housing
asset bubble.

The Sub Prime Mess

8/14/2019 Economy & Recession-bhdruka 200309
13/37
The Mess - Overview
Economies worldwide were at risk of a deep recessionafter the dotcom bubble burst in early 2000 and by the
9/11 terrorist attacks in 2001.
In response, Central Banks around the world createdcapital liquidity by a reduction in interest rates, to stimulatethe economies .
Investors sought higher returns through riskierinvestments.
Lenders took on greater risks too, and approved subprimemortgage loans to borrowers with poor credit.
Consumer demand drove the housing boom to all-timehighs in the summer of 2005, which ultimately collapsed inAugust of 2006.

Biggest Culprits- The Lenders Blame should squarely rest on the lenders (mortgage Originators) who
lent funds to people with poor credit record and a high risk of default.
Central Banks - capital liquidity lower interest rates depressed riskpremiums.
Investors for higher returns - riskier investments.
Lenders ample money to lend. Higher risks for higher returns.
Interest rates dropped substantially - increased demand for mortgages
- housing prices increased due to higher demand.
Economy was healthy and people made their payments.
Lenders saw subprime mortgages as less of a risk than they reallywere and the risk of credit default was not adequately priced in.
Subprime mortgage originations grew from $173 billion in 2001 to arecord level of $665 billion in 2005, which represented an increase ofnearly 400% (See Figure-1).

Partners In Crime: Home buyers
Home buyers played an extremely risky game by buying houses
they could barely afford with non-traditional mortgages (NTM),
without understanding the risks and assessing their paying
capacity.
NTM offered low introductory rates and minimal initial costs
such as "no down payment, which depended on future rise in
incomes.Hoped for price appreciation, refinance at lower rates and take
the equity out of the home for use in other spending.
Property developers continued to develop house properties and
increased the supply of housing stock.
However, instead of continued appreciation, the housing bubble
burst, and prices dropped rapidly.

17/37
Buyers.. .Contd..
As a result, when their mortgages reset, many homeowners were
unable to refinance their mortgages to lower rates, as there was
no equity being created due to fall in housing prices.
Buyers were, therefore, forced to reset their mortgage at higher
rates, which many could not afford.
Many homeowners were simply forced to default on their
mortgages. Foreclosures continued to increase through 2006 and
2007.

Investment Banks Worsen the Situation
Securitisation played havoc.
Lenders increased the use of the secondary mortgage marketto sell off the mortgages, collect the originating fees and
increase the liquidity freeing more capital for more lending.
The number of subprime loans that lenders could originate
increased building up the momentum.
A lot of the demand for these mortgages came from the creation
of assets that pooled mortgages together into a security
(Securitisation), such as a collateralised debt obligation (CDO).
In this process, investment banks would buy the mortgages from
lenders and securitise these mortgages into bonds, which were
sold to investors through CDOs.

Sub-Prime Losses.. .Contd..
These CDOs were sold throughout the globe to various banks,
FIs and HNIsThe chart overleaf demonstrates the incredible increase in
global CDOs issues in 2006.
Indian Experience:
Though not having direct exposure to Sub Primemortgage, due to credit crunch and increase in interestrates on Corporate ECBs, ICICI Bank had to provide for aloss of about $263 mn in its books for FY 2007-08, for itscredit swap transactions.

Rating Agencies: Conflict of Interest
Rating agencies should have foreseen the high default rates for
subprime borrowers and should have given these CDOs much
lower ratings than the AAA rating given to the higher quality
tranches.
If the ratings had been more accurate and realistic, fewer
investors would have bought into these securities, and the losses
may not have been as bad.
Conflict of Interest:
There is an inherent conflict of interest between rating agencies,
who receive fees from a security's creator and their ability to
give an unbiased assessment of risk.
The rating agencies were enticed to give better ratings in order
to continue receiving service fees.

Fuel to Fire: Investor Behaviour
Much of the blame also must be placed on those who invested
in CDOs.
Investors were the ones willing to purchase these CDOs at
ridiculously low premiums over Treasury Bonds and did not
understand the risks involved.
These enticingly low rates are what ultimately led to such huge
demand for subprime loans.
Much of the blame here lies with individual investors because it
is up to them to perform due diligence on their investments and
make appropriate expectations. Investors failed in this by taking
the 'AAA' CDO ratings at face value.

23/37
Final Culprit: Hedge Funds
Another party that added to the mess was the hedge fund
industry. It aggravated the problem not only by pushing rates
lower, but also by fueling the market volatility that caused
investor losses. The failures of a few investment managers also
contributed to the problem.
There is a hedge fund strategy that is known as credit
arbitrage. It involves purchasing subprime bonds on credit and
hedging these positions with credit default swaps.
This amplified the demand for CDOs: By using leverage, a fund
could purchase a lot more CDOs and bonds than it could with
existing capital alone, pushing subprime interest rates lower andfurther fueling the problem.

Hedge Funds.. .Contd..
Moreover, because leverage was involved, this set the stage for
a spike in volatility, which is exactly what happened as soon as
investors realized the true, lesser quality of subprime CDOs.
Because hedge funds used a significant amount of leverage,
losses were amplified and many hedge funds shut down
operations as they ran out of money in the face of margin calls.
loans.

Final Blame - Regulators
Finally, the Regulators have to take their share of blame.
The whole episode was being enacted under the very nose of theUS Regulators The FED & the SEC.
Neither the SEC looked at the structure and rating of the CDOs.
Nor the FED cautioned the commercial banks about the risks
involved in dispensing loans to the sub prime borrowers.The home owners were not adequately educated about the
clauses regarding the interest rate reset, the balloon payments
and the foreclosure criteria etc.

Forecasts Growth & Economy
Findings are:
Still there are some more toxic assets in the US financiallandscape to the tune of around $450 bn.
All the economies of the G-8 countries including that ofJapan are officially in recession.
The US economy is in deep recession, and would take 2 to 3years for the economy to stasbilise.
The economies of the BRICcountries (Brazil, Russia, India &China) are slowing down significantly.
Further, the US Government has introduced 2 stimuluspackages involving US $ 1.5 trillion in the aggregate.

Eco Forecast.. .Contd..
The increased uncertainty and the large scale losses, haveincreased risk aversion among the investors banks &
individuals.
Most of the US & European banks are having a tight liquiditysituation.
Would reduce the flows into developing countries. The Indian economy has already slowed down the latest
growth estimate being around 6.5%.
The silver lining: However, US recession may actually
increase the outsourcing of business processes by UScompanies, in order to cut costs to stay competitive andbenefit Indian service providers.

Growth - Possibilities
Less US spending - a big drop in US imports from Asia - Reductionin demand for commodities from Africa, Latin America and CentralAsia.
The same countries that benefited from US overspending will nowsuffer as US spending declines.
In a very likely scenario, the US will suffer a prolonged slowdown-
cum-recession for 18 months or more. That will translate into hugeglobal pain.
In the above scenario, India's GDP growth will come down to 5-6%. That is no higher than in the 1990s!
This does not mean that all recent progress has been illusory. India
has raised its savings rate to 34%, and built up strong skills that arehere to stay.
But our sustainable long-term growth rate, in less-than-booming global conditions, may be only 7-8%.

US ECONOMY PREDICTION
GEORGE CELENTE
Gerald Celente, the CEO of Trends Research Institute, isrenowned for his accuracy in predicting future world andeconomic events.
He predicted the 1987 stock market crash and the fall of the
Soviet Union.Celente also, successfully predicted the 1997 Asian Currency
Crisis, the subprime mortgage collapse and the massive
devaluation of the U.S. dollar
He is now forecasting revolution in America, food riots and taxrebellions - all within 4 years. Caution: putting food on the table
will be a more pressing concern than buying Christmas gifts by
2012.

ECONOMY PREDICTION.. .Contd
Celente says that by 2012 America will become an undevelopednation, that there will be a revolution marked by food riots,
squatter rebellions, tax revolts and job marches.
It's going to be very bleak. Very sad. And there is going to be a lot
of homeless, the likes of which we have never seen before.
Tent cities are already sprouting up around the country and we're
going to see many more.
"We're going to start seeing huge areas of vacant real estate and
squatters living in them as well.
