RBI Governor Fears Market Crash With "World Less Capable Of Bearing The Cost"
Outspoken non-status-quo thinker Reserve Bank of India Governor Raghuram Rajan may be set to have his central banker card revoked... for telling too much truth (here in 2012, here in 2013, and most recently here). Having previously noted that "international monetary cooperation has broken down," the WSJ reports that Rajan warned Wednesday that the global economy bears an increasing resemblance to its condition in the 1930s, with advanced economies trying to pull out of the Great Recession at each other’s expense. Simply put, he concludes, "we are taking a greater chance of having another crash at a time when the world is less capable of bearing the cost."
As The Wall Street Journal reports, Rajan explains the difference between now and 1930 is:
competitive monetary policy easing has now taken the place of competitive currency devaluations as the favored tool for playing a zero-sum game that is bound to end in disaster.
Now, as then, “demand shifting” has taken the place of “demand creation,” the Indian policymaker said.
However...
As was the case in the 1930s, the lack of coordination between policymakers is producing spillovers that may be difficult to control, and the world’s financial system may soon face fresh turbulence at a time when central banks have yet to repair the damage that the 2008 financial crisis caused to developed economies.
“We are taking a greater chance of having another crash at a time when the world is less capable of bearing the cost,” said Mr. Rajan in an interview with the Central Banking Journal.
A sudden shift in asset prices could happen in a variety of ways, Mr. Rajan said. The most obvious route would be as a result of investors chasing higher yields at a time when they believe central bank policies will protect them against a fall in prices.
“They put the trades on even though they know what will happen as everyone attempt to exit positions at the same time – there will be major market volatility,” said Mr. Rajan.
And finally on the incompetence of economists (cough central bankers cough)
Mr. Rajan said economists still disregard the central role of financial systems in the economy and believe they can predict upcoming disruptions.
“They still do not pay enough attention–en passant–to the financial sector,” Mr. Rajan said. “Financial sector crises are not as predictable. The risks build up until, wham, it hits you.”

All very Zero Hedge-like, but from the mouth of a former IMF Director and current world central banker...
As Rajan previosuly concluded:
"when it comes to what is ailing the global economy, extreme monetary easing has been more cause than cure. The sooner we recognize that, the stronger and more sustainable the global economic recovery will be."

Nice to at least see someone with the cajones to call it like it is. He's a breath of fresh air in room full of stale liars.
Bail-ins in 3. 2. 1.
Or to the ebola Camp of Chastity you dissenters go.
and here i thought the rbi governor was miguel cabrera...
All residual confidence has now been squandered.
Reset looms.
I'm pretty sure the West's dumping of their sovereign gold, and India's tightened import rules to assist in making the price wiggle, starting in 2011, is what started the second leg of this crisis. You can't really attempt to undermine 80% of the world's savings, a huge amount of real collateral, and almost all government balance sheets, with that sort of nonsense, without major economic disruptions. No one ever said they couldn't make prices move around short term--Only that doing it would be a major tragedy for the real economy. So no, I don't think he knows anything about how the world works or what gold does for it.
Bla bla cla DOH same shit diferent day I think
Sadly, society needs pain. Not for those at the bottom who are already suffering; it is so that those at the middle and top who have been gorging on those below them for so long. Theirs *is* coming.
Aug 2015 is the start date for it all. The Fed plans to taper more.....right into the budget ceiling 2.0 fiasco. It's also the beginning of the "new" POTUS cycle, which has corresponded with some kind of market downturn since the end of Bretton Woods (examples: Reagan and Flash Crash 1987; Clinton DotCom in 1999; Bush II Housing 2007).
Get your popcorn ready.
Golden silvery popcorn yum yum
Bullshit. He's just front running a dip in the Indian economy. No central banker would tell the truth for fear of being suicided.
That is a little too truthy. ..
The bankster definitely don't want the general population to know that they bear the costs of bankster fraud.
What "market" is he talking about? If you don't allow for true price discovery, then you don't have a fucking "market".
Right, and over here he kinda fucks himself by saying:
"when it comes to what is ailing the global economy, extreme monetary easing has been more cause than cure. The sooner we recognize that, the stronger and more sustainable the global economic recovery will be."
Economic recovery possible ?
At long last. An honest central banker.
Lol... There is no such thing as an honest central banker. He is saying these things because monetary policy hits emerging markets hardest. If the shoe were on the other foot his tone would be different.
the solution will be simple. war. wars costs a lot of money no one has, so there will be a ton more debt. which means central printers will get to go on a printing rampage. inflation would soar, but who cares about the bottom 95% anyways? wars are also good for deceasing a lot of unemployed members of society. its a win-win-win for printers, gov't and the top .1%.
All very Zero Hedge-like
Time to put him on the terrorist list in the US. Good luck getting a visa to the land of the free. And its poodle country.
The market is reacting positively today.
Must not have read this interview.
"When good is bad and bad is good, you will know this is a sign of the end." Jesus. The stock markets thrive off bad news.
what a fucking maggot
If he is a former IMF director then be warned. This isn't a warm and fuzzy moment where he feels compelled to tell the truth. It is a by design. I think as part of the BRICS he is trying to foment the so called rift between the East and West when they are all responsible. Implode the current system so they can reset with their Global Currency.
Rajan, the only CB worth his salt.
Please don't ruin my mood by telling me he used to work for Goldman Sachs.
This guy is a rich Indian. Without a doubt his wife owns and wears thousands of dollars worth of 22k gold jewelry no matter what he says.
I hope he does'nt go near any roofs or hot tubs soon...
Why should the world bear the cost? You fucking lost it not me.
Maybe he could create another Shrine or two over there in India, get some peasants to make a few Gold offerings.
What it eventually comes down to is: you only securely own that which you can physically possess and protect, be you homeless with a shopping cart, a middle-class family, the Rothschild dynasty or a government.
He was one of the few to predict correclty the 2008 crash.
The same man who advocated transfer of all Indian govt. Gold to UK ?
Was he blind at that time ?
Or was assured a percentage by west ?
