How Serious of a Threat Is Global Deflation? Nariman Behravesh Farid Abolfathi John Mothersole Dan Ryan Todd Lee Howard Archer Global Insight Teleconference December 17, 2002

1990s: A Deflationary Wave The bursting of the Japanese asset and investment bubbles The bursting of the Japanese asset and investment bubbles The Asian Crisis The Asian Crisis Deflation spreads to other parts of Asia Deflation spreads to other parts of Asia The bursting of the high-tech bubble The bursting of the high-tech bubble Worldwide manufacturing deflation Worldwide manufacturing deflation 2

Commodity Prices

Though Up in 2002, Commodity Prices Remain Well Below Recent Levels

With Prices For Many Soft Since July

Insights From Japan’s Deflation

Disinflation, Deflation

Bursting Bubbles JAPAN Stock market peak: December Inflation: rising in 1990, volatile in 1991 (with surges above 4% m/m) GDP growth: 3+% q/q through Overnight call rate peak: March United States Stock market peak: August Federal funds peak: January 2001.

Interest Rate Response

Japan’s Slow Response Due To: Unfamiliarity with slow growth. Return to “normal” (3-4%) growth rate expected. Anti-inflation bias. Post-WWII generation of policymakers. Emphasis on fiscal rather than monetary expansion. Public works projects.

Problems Peculiar to Japan Structural problems. Overly-dependent on manufacturing, construction, exports. Low productivity in services. Bad Loans + Extreme Asset Deflation Bad loans estimated at 8-40% of GDP Asset prices now 1/4 th of peak value. Money hoarding. Due to uncertainty, risk aversion. 1990: M1 = 25% of GDP Today: M1 = 65% of GDP

Japan: Causing Global Deflation?

Asia

Asia Recovery Continues (Real GDP, percent change from a year earlier)

Recovery Still Driven by Exports (Percent change from a year earlier, Q3/2002) * Private consumption represented by real retail sales; business investment from q1-q3; exports in nominal dollar terms # Exports in nominal U.S. dollar Q2 data

Consumer Demand is Cooling (Real NIA Private Consumption, percent change from a year earlier) *Real retail sales

Exports Are Sizzling (Real NIA Exports, percent change from a year earlier) *Exports in nominal U.S. dollar

Asia Exports Rely on US Imports (Percent change from a year earlier)

Interest Rates Are near All-Time Lows

Liquidity Decelerates Despite Low Interest Rates Percent change from a year earlier

Deflation Remains A Concern (CPI, percent change from a year earlier )

Deflation Remains A Concern (Percent change from a year earlier, 2002 Q3 ) * Second quarter data

Fiscal Strain in Asia (Fiscal balance over GDP, percent)

Outlook And Risks Outlook Outlook Cautiously optimistic about 2003 Inflation will remain subdued in the near-term Accommodative fiscal and monetary policy will continue US growth rebound in 2 nd half 2002 will boost exports China, India, Korea, and Malaysia will lead the pack Risks Risks Deflation Dependence on U.S. imports Non-economic shocks: Terrorist attacks, War on Iraq Rapid consumer credit expansion Fiscal strain

Who Is Next?

Parallels with Japan JapanU.S.Germany Weak Domestic Demand Deflation? Real Interest Rates Too High Real Exchange Rate Too High Fiscal Rigidity Financial Stress ? Heavy Dependence on Bank Financing High Debt Levels Burst Asset Bubbles Rigid Labor Markets Poor Corporate Governance
