wherever I turn, all I see is derisking
and a bit of carbon shock therapy @IsabellaMWeber
new IMF in old privatization bottles
speaking of derisking and the ideological machinations of #WallStreetConsensus, here is the IMF blaming Ghana's SOEs for fiscal burden of derisking private power producers
as we argued with @nssylla - Ghana provides some important lessons about the fiscal burden of derisking, kind of crazy that IMF chooses to frame it as a 'managing State Owned Enterprises' risk.

the #GlobalGateway strategy seeks to 'unleash' EUR300 bn for infrastructure investments around the world based on 'values, transparency and sustainability'
values first infrastructure is a new one:

wonder what values embodied by (German) Compact with Africa push for PPPs in health or education that force user-fees and de-facto privatisation of social infrastructure

what does balance sheet of central bank w deeply unconventional approach to financial globalisation look like?

@CentralBank_TR Turkey: no capital controls/interest rates to contain non/resident outflows, instead burn fx reserves and failing to contain TRY depreciation 1/n ImageImage
asset side looks familiar to students of EM:

the action in foreign assets, while traditional business of central banks - issuing reserves to banking system - around 15% of assets, and outright ownership of TRY sovvies negligible Image

lowering interest rates and then burning through your hard cash is an interesting way of managing your exchange rate. #whateverittakesbutnocapitalcontrols
historians of the global financial cycle will have a great time explaining Erdogan as inexplicably contrarian till the bitter end (30?50?)

what we naively believe early in pandemic: massive public investments in public health to fight super-clever virus.

what we're getting 18 months later: let pension funds invest in private equity funds targeting private healthcare.

why Health as an Asset Class?

because under financial capitalism institutional supercycle, the macrofinancial imperative is new asset classes for the portfolio glut

thought Climate/Nature as an Asset Class will test limits of financial capitalism, move us in new supercycle

but w Omicron it starts to sound like stupid Hollywood sci-fi where mutant virus destroys humanity because we trusted Blackstone/Blackrock to run hospitals.
