francine: a big week for central banks. the boj kicks off its two day meeting tomorrow split over what kuroda will pull out of his hat. the u.s. rate decision in the fed on wednesday while futures are pricing at a 20% chance for a hike. what more can central banks do? hard andy are trying the fact is -- >> they are trying hard and the fact is there is only a limit to what monetary policy can do. policy and other policies have not been there, so they have been the only game in town. what we are now seeing, particularly in japan is not enough. they are going to have to do something else. francine: they will have to do something else. we are introducing our next guest, gilles moes.
4:05 am
thank you for making the time to come in. fed and bmg -- boj, what will be the most worrying. gilles: this is where you have the widest array of possibilities. the ability of monetary policy in japan to really move the dial. without the necessary clear return on the real economy. it is clear the boj [indiscernible] especially from a selfish european point of view, because investors look at the boj for guidance as to what the ecb could do. it is a point of focus. francine: what are you expecting from the boj. my chart of the hour shows the correlation between the fix and the yen dollar. the yen seen as a haven. confounded to what
4:06 am
governor kuroda can do next. gilles: on the target we think that the boj will stand firm on the need to bring inflation. there is a debate on this. on the technicalities, it seems the boj seems to be nervous -- fell intot that negative territory in july. essentially something around the way you could deliver this is shifting a little bit the focus of the purchases, currently the target. target five and 12. they could create uncertainty on where the boj could focus good from an economist point of view, i fail to see what would be the point in delivering this. francine: is this an inflection point because kuroda could say
4:07 am
hold on, negative rates have not worked as well as i have wanted them to. this could backfire, right echo gilles: -- right? gilles: we don't know what type of negative rate he has in mind. it is unclear what it means for the long end of the curve. having negative yields at the long end of the curve creates issues for long-term investors. from the economy point of view, if you stick the curve, why is there no improvement in inflation expectations. the thing you do is tighten monetary conditions, so i understand it is appealing for the boj to move away from negative yields. create anyreally additional stimulus. back to what was discussed before, we all thought it would
4:08 am
be about fiscal at the beginning of the summer. monetary policy would come to complement a nice ingredient to what would be really a change in the fiscal sense. things are probably muddier than expected. francine: boj did try it. there was a day where they said this is what we are doing on when you went into the detail, a lot of it was already planned out. gilles: fresh stimulus is the issue. francine: in europe? right. are you expecting more stimulus? gilles: i think we're putting too much hope. we already have a fiscal push in europe. [indiscernible] there is a change in the fiscal stance. and as longomentum
4:09 am
as germany clearly doesn't want to reverse its fiscal stance and -- ing as other countries don't think we'll see a lot more than what we have seen. francine: is there any doubt in your mind that they will not raise rates given that the market is only pricing in a 20% chance. them.: we are considering francine: y? because of the uncertainty, lack of wages and the presidential election? gilles: the fed seems to be a glass half-empty mode. they will always care about the risk and they are taking, where they are in the cycle and where [indiscernible] it makes sense to err on the side of caution. the market looks much better. inflation is normalizing.
4:10 am
there is no case for it in trying to push things to the extreme and guess a decision. francine: gilles, thank you so much for now. he stays with us. we will be talking about oil, brexit. pulse" including angela merkel's party suffers -- a warning indicator for banking -- should the world worry about china's debt? the chancellor phil hammond says the u.k. could give membership into the single market. we'll bring you the interview later. this is bloomberg. ♪

-- 2014.e 2014 good let's welcome gilles moec. and will kennedy. thank you for joining us at what are the chances we get an opec meeting in out years next friday? >> we have had a lot of rhetoric based on the secretary-general who has been in algiers. things are going well. [indiscernible] says it is going to be deal but it will not be anything firm. advisory talks to sound out what sort of action may be possible. emergency opec meeting afterwards to determine any agreement. francine: they are talking about talking in the future. isl: this one in algiers going to be an official opec
4:16 am
meeting. between that, there is a meeting between russia and saudi arabia. we got an autumn full of oil meetings. francine: i love this. we knew this might happened because this is what happened 12 months ago or 18 months ago. if you look at the price of oil, it raises up some $10 on the back of hope that something may happen. thiss: what all of rhetoric does is underpins the market. they know they've got to go against the possibility of some kind of policy action. the cap between -- and what they are actually doing. if you look in the biggest oil producers, they are producing as much as they possibly can. advanced production is rising fast. russia is producing more than 11 million barrels a day, more than any time in the 1980's. francine: gilles, how concerned are you? i know you don't want
4:17 am
to talk about the price of oil. people are seeing risks which for opec is there's too much of the stuff. yet, they cannot help themselves. -- you are seeing the car crash but you are saying i don't have an option at the moment. everything is so short-term that crisis.o -- another gilles: central banks do what they have to do according to the mandate. i am not sure there is a car crash coming. there's a crash coming if there --no proper reaction from the private sector or public sector. francine: which we have not seen for five years. gilles: if you are a central bank and you have to comply with the mandate, your mandate is to try prop up the economy as long
4:18 am
as inflation is not in target. -- it is not your fault. the point that is increasingly made by central banks is in europe we have a problem with transmission of monetary policy stimulus. say then the ecb should stop because it is harming or it could should to continue -- or it should continue but there are some measures to be taken. the begging sector can be healthy again -- the banking sector can be healthy again. every time he comes back to the central bank but i think the central bank is not doing what it should do. francine: if you look at the iea, they said the global oversupply in oil -- is there a danger of producers start curbing, it will launch another 18 months to two years? will: i
4:19 am
think there's a lot of gloom about the market. they are not feeling optimistic about next year. they see prices starting to glut , higher than $55. there is very little spare capacity. they could not add that much to the market quickly as anything goes anywhere. francine: will kennedy, thank you so much. us.es moec stays with we will be talking a little bit about european politics. partyt, angela merkel's leader support in berlin as anti-immigration alternatives for journeys -- for germany -- how does this change the political landscape? we will discuss this next with june. this is bloomberg. ♪
4:20 am

4:22 am
francine: welcome back to "the pulse." german chancellor angela merkel's party and the coalition partner lost support and regional elections as the anti-immigration alternative for germany siphoned off the voters. gilles moec is still with us. i don't know that this is very telling or something we should think about. gilles: this is something we have been monitoring.
4:23 am
from a macro view, you say this is a normalization in politics. [indiscernible] germany was bucking the trend now it is back to the floor. one thing on the results yesterday, what is interesting the polls were right. it is something we have been .ealing with since brexit every time there is a populist movement, there's suspicion that the polls are not accurate. this time they were expecting 13% to 15%. it seems that we have a proper good idea there. trigger -- from a political point of view, i think what we care about is it is not the sense that they could -- those populist parties are having an impact on the agenda,
4:24 am
even when they are not in power. [indiscernible] if you look at the european council, no decision was made and as long as the biggest countries are stuck in their own political agenda -- and we have general elections in germany and to moveext year -- try the european agenda. francine: does this mean the moderate politicians will have to move more to the right or left? we are seeing it to some degrees as european politics are fragmented in france. gilles: i wrote two months ago the elections in france a very socialocusing either on cultural issues or on economic reforms. the pressure from
4:25 am
the nation of france to be more about social and cultural issues , so what it creates is when you got a government finally coming was such a economics second order issued during the campaign, there is no clear mandate for whoever comes into power to push through reforms. it is something we need to care about. this obsession about those reducing the brain time available for pushing forward economic issues. something that he wrote in the that it wasdea about about -- it was a lot about military union, where's the biggest problem we have --
4:26 am
the government is not focusing on what has been the biggest issue. francine: when i was in strasbourg that we talked about they were trying to find a common ground which they do not have by working on security in the fight against terrorism. they felt like this would get a united front. gilles: that is fair. there is a common purpose. one of the issues being the eu is not normally reform for this. that they do this is completely understandable. why they are doing this, we still don't see any proper progress which really as an the main problem. francine: thank you for your insight. -- coming up next, as a warning indicator for banking stress climbs to record levels, we ask if the world's debt?about china's

a warning indicator for taking stress climbed to a record. take a look at my chart of the hour. 30.1%, credit stood at the highest ever in data which stretches back to 1995. let's bring in miranda carr. miranda, always great to have your perspective on what is going on in china. it should we worry? miranda: the fact that china has too much debt in the system, particular corporate debt is not new news. -- particularly corporate debt is not new news. we have seen studies about this. here, aware that over china is aware of this. what you are seeing with that rising debt, that shift. they are taking money out of corporate debt which could be slightly high risk and shifting
4:34 am
it to government debt. you have local government financing platforms. china is going to collapse story , also at 15 trillion of that -- so 10% of the gdp figure is shifting on the fiscal balance sheet. that keeps the debt levels elevated but it means -- the key thing it is not going to revolt. therefore you are not going to see some crisis. the other interesting thing, mortgages is aware your risk are going to lie because that is what we saw prices, the housing bubble developing. now in the last figures, the debt figures, he saw household credit taking of the biggest proportion. that is where the debt is shifting. francine: they are trying to limit that. it seems that authorities are putting thing in place to do you erisk it to make
4:35 am
it more sustainable. miranda: the debt issue, it may seem incremental if you're looking from the outside. we are talking about the debt. this is basically kind of rolling forward some debt which has not been able to be repaid into equity which may get written down to zero. it is a long process of writing it off. economy. comes up the it is not an efficient way of doing what it means you don't get crash. francine: you kind of rollover. miranda: it is a bit messy. it --ne: what you make of we saw this massive surge in the past 24 hours. miranda: you have two factors, the pboc intervening post agreement to prevent the currency weakening. also the bank is having as we

4:37 am
not going into some major crisis, but the side effects of that are significant, because they have to keep interest rates high on shore in order to keep the currency. they have to keep the reserve requirement high. weakening,d it as but it is like throwing sand in the tank, it doesn't stop the engine. it is not going to explode, but you've still got sand. francine: talk to me about outflows. this was the big concern to everyone to go. now it has peter dolph. off. has petered are things getting worse mood? miranda: there is -- getting more smooth? miranda: theare --
