Swap lines to EM please (also to Australia - we like Australia in Asia too as it's APAC). "the supply of liquidity by central banks is beneficial only to those who can access it," said @Trinhnomics

Had a paragraph in op ed that was cut out re EM Asia swaps (EM economist obvs)🙇🏻‍♀️
My old paragraph:

Operationally, the bid for USD in Asia and squeeze in liquidity reflects the massive role of the USD in the global economy & finance. For example, 87% of China merchandise trade is invoiced in US.
and the loss of income from export earnings will further push higher the demand of USD. To overcome the global USD squeeze, the Fed must step up its operational support via swap lines with economies such as South Korea.
Australia needs a swap line. Purleasssse. AUD languishing everyday 🙇🏻‍♀️🙇🏻‍♀️🙇🏻‍♀️🇦🇺🦘🥶
Guys, the reason why we have a dollar shortage is because we have levered!!!!!!!!!!!

So when income collapses, we got major problem because we have leveraged & so debt needs servicing etc. Aniwaize, the stress u see is because we live in a world that's too leveraged!!!
Don't forget that low rates only lower interest expense, u still got principal that is high if ur debt stock is high.

When u lever, u think the FUTURE IS BETTER THAN TODAY. Obvs very clearly that whoever thought there was growth is in for a surprise given the pandemic siutation.
The ringgit doing that thing it does when it feels kind of stressed 🇲🇾
SGD too - swaps please!!!
Euro-area banks get 112bn from Fed thanks to the swap line w/ the ECB at 0.38% and 0.45%.
