The growth of long-term rates in the world worries the ministries and treasury departments. The high rates are more expensive to download only the uploading public and individual debt, but also take economic growth.

Independent Central Banks are afraid to restore former quantitative programs for the purchase of long-term bonds, or in many leading economics, they are refrain from interfering with the reduction of benchmark policy, given the above target inflation. Thus, back quantity facilitation with new forms of public debt management has become a choice for the Ministry of Finance.

The US Treasury Department has started during the Joe Biden administration Change the composition Providing public debt with more short-term sacrifices.

Last year, my former colleague Stephen Miran – now the chairman of the economic adviser of the Donald Trump Administration – we labeled this strategy as a transfer of activist treasure.

The horse has lowered the rates to lower the longer-term bonds after the federal reserve after the financial crisis and sold for a shorter period debt at the same time. Instead, the treasury has lowered the long-term debt by selling less.

We criticized the ATI as a form of assassination of monetary policy by financial authorities. And many republicans – Current Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent reflected similar concerns.

However, despite the roles of Miran and Bessent in the High Economic Team of Trump, the horse is without stage. That is durable So far, it will dramatically increase its long rates.

Most Pisi, Bessent, Bessent, the prospects of the ATI with a deeper form of leading the Treasury, flags: Sunday conditions reported when it becomes irregular Treasury may decide Long term for long-term public debt is a long time to prevent a long time of long rates.

Now the horse becomes a contagious in the world. In Japan, the 10-year bond productivity has been negative since 2022, the ratio of government debts is growing for about 250 percent GDP. Given that the bar for Boj is very high for boj, probably another deflation recession – Japanese Finance Ministry has reportedly reviewed its own ATI program Leave less term bonds and more short-term debt.

Thus, the forecast of my paper with Miran is becoming a reality; After the government began the ATI, the risk, the heirs will be commanded or even a trump is so low. And it encourages other countries like Japan to start their own ATI programs.

Who else can enter the United States and Japan? Now the ATI, the ATI, because the European Central Bank has emergency facilities to restore the spread of a different sovereign debt, is rightly expanding to the market basis. In addition, there is no central financial body in the eurozone, which can lend a significant amount of debt in the eurozone, which is a joint liability. The United Kingdom is a more fortunate candidate, taking into account the financial condition of the martyrs.

Economists discussed a long time if a decisive chicken game, a determinant chicken game, financial or monetary policy. However, we are still more than a world of higher inflation in the United States, Japan and the United Kingdom, in general, we are far from a world that central banks are financed and supported.

Over time, financial bodies will be increasingly attractive to try to implement policies such as a horseman in long-term bond products. However, this is a slippery road that is interfered with the interference with monetary policy to the financial authorities.

In turn, it takes more risk with inflection with the spiritual threat, which can cause inconsistencies between money and financial bodies. Measures such as a horse, the monetary authorities sometimes lead to pest financial conditions in which they avoid excessive warming of the economy. These are dangerous things, open the door for a more political work period.
