Summary
In this second episode to follow “Rating Interest Rates”, Respectonomics through the Living Economics platform explores the character of interest rates, and how they intersect with currencies, creditworthiness and liquidity. Complex, yes, even daunting, yet this rollout brings a practical and responsive context to your understanding. Government deficits may be breeding more rate increases, while placing at risk our creditworthiness, and limiting our financial flexibility to meet emerging changes in economic conditions. What is your position? Your understanding? Share your insights: [email protected] Living Economics, a platform of Respectonomics, provides bi-weekly assessments of economic and financial issues. The analysis is timely, straightforward, relevant, unvarnished and actionable. Your Voice of Respectonomics, Jeremy Wentworth- Stanley, draws on more than fifty years in the investment industry, developing the creed of “making the obvious obvious before it becomes obvious”. Workshops and in-house presentations are available. What are your reflections and ideas? Would you pass them back to us? And share the message please. [email protected]
