全球經濟面臨重創,低利率將是美聯儲長期計畫
關鍵字:全球經濟面臨重創
4月6日,全球競價受到巨大的通貨緊縮得衝擊,全球諸多國家因為控制疫情帶來的危機而陷入經濟停擺狀態,失業率明顯增加,這可能促使央行將利率長期維持在低水準。
令人擔憂的是,這可能會延長自大蕭條以來最嚴重的衰退。定價權的衰退使那些在經濟景氣時期大量舉債的公司更難履行債務,這可能促使他們進一步削減薪資和投資,甚至是拖欠債務、破產。
儘管價格疲軟或下跌對消費者來說似乎是利好的,但普遍的通縮性價格下跌可能對整個經濟有害。由於預期價格會越來越低,家庭會推遲購買,而公司則會推遲投資,因為他們認為利潤機會有限。
即使在冠狀病毒危機緩解後,停擺帶來的傷疤——失業率上升、消費者和企業信心受損以及就業機會交錯,這些仍可能抑制價格壓力,促使央行將利率長期維持在最低水準。
不過在未來道路上,所有的巨額資金(加上大量政府債務來支付對抗病毒的措施)可能會導致價格壓力的加劇。
全球消費者價格指數將在2020年中左右某個時候暫時低於去年同期水準,這是數十年來的首次,其中大部分是由於油價暴跌。儘管上周由於有可能減產的報導而反彈,但油價自1月1日以來仍下跌了約55%。
甚至在危機之前,貨幣政策制定者就擔心通貨膨脹率過低,不利於其經濟。現在,他們有更多的擔憂理由。
歐洲央行理事會成員羅伯特·霍爾茲曼說:“不能排除通縮的可能性,但是我拒絕做出估計。如果通縮是由於實體經濟的衰退,那麼僅通過貨幣政策工具將很難解決這一問題。”
