Complimentary conference tour - Feb 2014 - NYC, Washington, Tokyo, London

'China and the US, the next 10 years' - Secular stagnation and persistent bubbles? A fully convertible RMB?

Happy New Year from Fathom Consulting. Our open conference tour starts next month - if you haven't registered already there are still a few places available. • New York City - (Thomson Reuters) at 11:00 on 3 February • Washington DC - (Thomson Reuters) at 16:00 on 5 February • Tokyo - (Thomson Reuters) at 10:00 on 21 February • London - (Thomson Reuters) at 10:00 on 27 February The long-term economic prospects for China and the US are locked together. Creditor, debtor. Importer, exporter. But is that set to change? China’s leadership is making a concerted attempt to liberalise its economy, and with it the currency. Meanwhile, former US Treasury Secretary Larry Summers fears that the US may be facing secular stagnation, where the only answer to persistently deficient demand is ultra-loose monetary policy and an endless succession of asset price bubbles. Can the RMB become fully convertible over the next decade, and if so would it pose a risk to the dollar’s reserve currency status? Is Larry Summers right – is the US condemned to be stuck in a perpetual bubble? Join us for a lively discussion and Q&A session where former Bank of England economists and now co-Directors of Fathom - an independent economics consultancy - Danny Gabay and Erik Britton will be delivering their views. As well as being well-known for getting to the point, Fathom’s focus is always on the interaction between the macro-economy and financial markets. Fathom is the choice for insightful analysis for more than 100 global clients, and a trusted adviser to a number of governments.
