Monetary policy reaches its limits

Monetary policy reaches its limits
  • Says negative interest rates unlikely to be effective
  • Don't see negative rates situation changing in the next 12-18 months
  • Looking at Japan the concern is that negative interest rates in Europe could become a long term problem
  • Don't think we are at a stage where we need a broad fiscal stimulus in Germany
