4:17 am
we have immediately seen the reaction of the markets. i think there will be further productions. -- reductions. francine: so you don't expect the spread to widen? i think the italian republic, the rates it pays for its debt, will be more reasonable. italy is the second largest manufacturing country in the european union. it is the third richest country in the world for net export surplus.
4:18 am
it is unreasonable we pay such a high rate of interest. when people realize the real the spread will decrease. was our guest speaking with me able but earlier -- a little bit earlier. vincent, when you look at italy, the risks so much concerned -- there was so much concerned they would flaunt the european union budget rules. our -- are markets still confident? incent: we have seen a nice narrowing of the tenure spread. -- ten-year spread. the markets seem to be a little

you are going to see some changes at the ecb, but the decisions are taken within the rate, i don'tthat think the extent of the ecb will change. francine: what about swedish elections? vinctoo close to call? the market is not acting as badly as some have feared. just below 18%. difficult too be find a majority. the legacy of the financial crisis probably is the rise of populism. that is quite a concern regarding the european election next year.

his side is getting stronger. whenoment of truth will be an agreement is found with the eu, which could be mid-november or later. it is not a done deal. we could see quite a rising political uncertainty in the u.k.. you do withat would u.k. assets from now until then? terms of market valuation, it is rapidly attractive. there is a lot of political risk. this could go lower as the uncertainty remains high,

between mid-november and december. francine: how do you look at sterling? roomnt: i think there is for the downside in euro sterling and the cable. francine: is there one thing you would stay away from in europe? vincent: we don't like german bunds. months, equities will outperform. rm, the weight in equities is reduced because of all the challenges we are talking about, like the trade war, brexit negotiations, so we have reduced the weight in equities and moved some money towards spain, which is very resilient to italy.

we will also be bringing you many interviews over the next few weeks. take a look at some of the highlights. >> you really thought that at the last minute, the u.s. government was something. i was traveling from zurich to frankfurt with the u.s. head telling me it was over. we haven't expected that. through 2008, it was clear that confidence in the banking system was waning. only a serious recapitalization of the banking system both in the u.k. and u.s. would resolve the problem. >> when i realized how much debt was of the non-bank financial stimulus, amount of that is what started to worry me. played out, he realized that things were much more interconnected than you thought they were. marketsm to be small can have much bigger fx than you

4:36 am
heelsreally comes on the of global equities. the ftse in london falling to a near four-year low. topple, led by banks, the infection has spread around the world. let's bring another leading voice into the situation. derek turner was chairman of the financial system. do you remember when you realized the scale of what was going on? derek: yes. onecame chairman of the fsa september 20, 2008. i knew then that it was big.
4:37 am
i did not only realize how big it was over the five days. what happened was the collapse , a hugen brothers collapse of liquidity in the secured funding market, then spread over the subsequent week to the guts of the global interbank money market. we suddenly had major banks in the world not willing to lend each other money, even overnight because they were worried about who was sold. that wet that stage realized the whole thing was just seizing up. francine: your initial moment was, omg? what was it? adair: interestingly, you sort of know what has to be done. i remember sitting down with mervyn king. were pretty obvious there
4:38 am
three leaders available in that circumstance. central bank liquidity support, government guarantees of the liabilities of the banks, or recapitalization of the banks. you don't need to be a genius to know that you have three lovers. -- levers. everything is about balance of those. those were what the debates were about. francine: should the u.k. have been anything differently? adair: i think maybe we should of just nationalized hbos. to today'sen agreed before i joined. maybe we should have -- two days before i joined. maybe we should have challenged it. i think we should have gone for bigger liquidity in the banks. i ended up as a super hawk on
4:39 am
banking capital. i think we were allowing it to run before the crisis was that ludicrously low levels of equity capital. the debates subsequently about the basil three reforms, i was always a hawk. that meant bringing it up by another quarter percent. i think the banks ought to run ratios at 4%. on the other hand, we did some good things. francine: what you think the main consequence is of the financial crisis? adair: the consequence was the recession, the global recession of 2009, and the incredibly slow recovery. that was really a consequence of two things. one, there was a huge financial crisis in 2008. two, that that came at the end.
4:40 am
50 years of the growth of leverage. we now have to focus on leverage in the real economy as being a big challenge today, rather than the financial system itself. view that weint of probably are much safer than we were in 2007 and 2008 in relation to the financial system itself. i think we have huge unresolved issues in the global economy about our reliance on debt. debt to gdp across the economy is now higher a of gdp than it ever was before. francine: are you telling me that the reliance of debt worldwide could lead to the next crisis? but i don't think it is going to be a global crisis. i think we put enough capital into the banking system to avoid that danger.
4:41 am
i think the bigger concern is that we get a downturn in the global economy, perhaps because china tries to get its high leverage under control, and deliverable he does. there is a slowdown in the global economy, and we start with a major downturn. if we get a major turned out in the global economy, are we going to be able to react with the interest rate cuts and fiscal stimulus we responded to in 2009? we have used a lot of the ammunition already. my worry is more about debt in the real economy, households, incorporates, leading to a slow down and the difficulty of responding to it. francine: it's all about timing. adair: that is right. the issue is we are having a
4:42 am
global recovery at the moment. it has occurred because of massive stimulus. china tickets fiscal stimulus from 1% of gdp in 2015. the u.s. has slowly been bringing down its fiscal deficit and has now completely reversed that with the trump cuts. that has taken the fiscal deficits. it should not surprise us if there is a boost to the global economy, if the two biggest economies in the world both increase the fiscal deficits by 3% of gdp. this must be the biggest fiscal stimulus ever put into the global economy. the danger in the u.s. is that for the first time, i'm beginning to think that might produce inflationary pressures and a faster increase of the effect.
4:43 am
it would suggest we are returning to normal. on balance, i suspect that is an going to occur. i think the deflationary forces in the world economy are still very deep. clearly, one category of debt, is already producing very major problems. thank you so much for joining us. next, sweden could face weeks or months of political deadlock. this is bloomberg. ♪

that, to break the alliance, form some sort of link up with -- the liberals of the party. i'm not quite certain that the voters would like to see them supporting a new government. i think that is very unlikely. francine: how will the political gridlock affect the markets build confidence in sweden? if -- there is going to be two weeks where nothing happens. if i'm optimistic. that is roughly the standard we have in europe these days. so to say inl, europe is to say that we have more political landscape. more lengthy process of forming a government. i don't think sweden will be

from that point of view much different from what we have seen in other european countries. francine: if there is one thing , i don't know whether it is what we have learned from this election, or previous elections in europe, is there something politicians need to be wary of? do they need to speak to the people differently? how do you see this developing? carl: there is always that sort of discussion. the move to the extreme right. they didn't do as well and the selection as everyone had expected them to do in the opinion polling agencies. that was due to the fact that there was a deliberate attempt by the main populist to push back. s the basictrate

let's get back to john and rupert. the formering with prime minister about alliances. doesn't hit swedish markets and swedish sentiment? if it translates into the actual economy, should we start worrying? so, becauset think you don't have the populist party entering into the economy. there is not really a debate about monetary policy outside of the risk bank. in terms of external influence on the debate, i don't think the election outcome is one of them. francine: where the election so overall? anything -- do people and politicians realized they need to speak differently? rupert: this makes the arithmetic harder for everything
5:16 am
else. with the exception of italy, maybe the last year, that hasn't been quite as bad as feared. we're nothood is going to see a populist party and government. we are now going to be an a process very like the italian election where someone is going to have to break a promise they made before the election. theave seen that when parliamentary arithmetic makes that happen, when the numbers force it, that is what you get. i guess it was coming in the last couple of weeks, the italian populist had promised a lot of things. is that in general where populists go when they are in power? is a chainnk there of events that happen. there is a risk premium against price and upon markets.
5:17 am
and response to that rise in bond yields, the populist parties can either continue ahead with unwise programs or they can dial back there promises. i think in italy, there is a bit of counterattack against the populist instincts and tendencies. tom: let me ask a rude question. i say this with great respect. if the british had an election today, what would happen? with a have a sweden? rupert: i have no idea. i think we would have something very similar. when you look at the polling, it hasn't changed an awful lot. there is no great love for the government. i think we would end up in a very similar, very difficult numbers. i think the chances of that happening are very small.

5:24 am
put new tariffs on chinese goods. because you never have a media follow-up from anything the president says, i think investors are little nervous about taking e.m. dramatically low because of the negative comments on friday. i think the handwriting is on the wall that the u.s. is playing the long game here. i think that is why em will go down short-term. gtb.we will get to that on this is logged jpmorgan emerging-market fx. the drama and second derivative of this chart is something. what does it say to you that we have seen one brutal move, another brutal move, now a third brutal move? john: that, to me just highlights there is zero confidence in owning e.m. assets right now.
5:25 am
you would even say this is pricing in almost recessionary conditions in e.m.. we are not seeing a recession in e.m. broadly. you could see that in a couple, turkey, argentina. you clearly have a growing versus premium in these markets. francine: when does that change? we seem to have this selloff in emerging markets that continues and there is no catalyst for it to stop. the people take up bargains at some point? rupert: i think there is a lot of people watching right now. i think there is a sort of classic situation you get with emerging markets where apart from the cases we know about, macro in e.m.s is not too bad. it doesn't seem existential to a lot of emerging markets. if we get further down in
5:26 am
exchange rates and inflationary pressure coming through, that becomes a cycle whereby the macro deteriorates and valuations look more justified. a lot depends on whether there will be further outflows or whether it there is enough of a period of calm. it could just take a few weeks of calm. maybe a sense that the negative news is all out there and you're going to get people stepping into buy. francine: thank you so much. rupert and john stay with us. tucker, thext, paul former deputy governor at the bank of england joins us. we talk about the lehman anniversary and lessons learned from the financial crisis. this is bloomberg. ♪

5:31 am
started to worry me. >> you realized things were more interconnected than you thought and what seem to be small markets can have bigger effects. >> i remember saying to a friend, i am down 100 million quit today. >> you never know because we isays say this time different and history tells us that is not the case. more capital today but there are lessons we must continue to press forward on. to think about what vulnerabilities are in the economy today. francine: joining us now is paul former deputy governor of the former bank of england. book "the chest for -- theacy in banking
5:32 am
quest for legitimacy in banking." thank you for joining us. when you look back to lehman , when didthat period you first realize the scale of how enormous it was? i recall a meeting at the bank of england when i said had it not been rescued, there would have been mayhem and a month later, one of the directors came back and said, defend it. i did. i don't think anyone has said anything intelligent is the wasted six months. why, on both sides of the atlantic, were not the big banks forced to deleverage in their wholesale market commitments in a controlled way rather than their lending to the real economy? reputed tohers is
5:33 am
have been debating and equity injection. why didn't that happen? much discussion about liquidity measures that have been taken that i devised. and not enough discussion about missed opportunities by supervisors. francine: why? they did not understand the interconnectedness? paul: i do not know. say peopleible to did not understand the interconnectedness. i do not think we learned a great deal. if you look at things that the fed, the bank of england in the years before the crisis, people knew the system was interconnected they would not be able to understand how it would unravel. is why people -- if you provide liquidity, you do not solve the problem -- but you buy time. how was the time used?
5:34 am
i do think we have a good answer on either side of the atlantic. on the wonderful voices we heard before you came on, we had loretta mester, who was one of our best mathematicians. i go to a chapter in your book, the limits of design, are we asking too much of central ,anking if the system locks up is the correlation becomes so tight, is there a limit to the design? paul: yes is the simple answer. if you expect central banks and agencies like central banks to make the world perfect, this is doomed to fail. them to deliver a stable and low inflation over the core of the banking system is resilient, they can do that. they cannot manage asset prices.
5:35 am
they can do simple things. in the years during the crisis countries a lot of have expected the central banks too much. politicians vacate the space and leave the central banks as the u.s. cavalry. it is tempting for central banks to occupy that. it is difficult not to try to do something when politicians do not step up to the play. in the united states, the centers around fiscal policy. , theall three of you solution is more capital on the bank's balance sheet. that seems simplistic. is it? john: i think it is. the problem is leverage build up somewhere.
5:36 am
banks moreul to have capitalize. it is difficult to keep households and corporate leveraged with low interest rates. that is why you can expect high volatility decline when we go into a downturn. there is only so much central bankers can do to manage that. rupert: i would agree to that. more capital is part of the solution but that is never going to prevent alien or's -- failures. interestingu.k. is where we have gone further than any other country in giving the bank of england remit to protect the banks from the cycle that to the cyclee cycle -- from the banks. active in account cyclical measures.
5:37 am
i think the politics of that has been acceptable. the public are willing to allow step in,anks to whether that is politicians trying to push responsibility towards central banks, we will only find out the next time it gets bad. francine: paul, where are we more vulnerable today? paul: shadow banking. francine: in china? or worldwide? paul: a bit in the united states as well. there has been a weak appetite to address shadow banking in the states. a policy will monitor it and reform policy to catch up is doomed to failure. by the time something is big enough to be a threat, it has a lobbying power in congress and the elsewhere. have duckedult they

it and that has been a mistake. another one, my generation of policymakers, have pushed derivative market to go via central markets. what happens if a central innterparty fails? no one the united states has said anything compelling about that. it is not clear that are legal powers to address that. europe, it is waiting to try to do something with the united states. imagine one of these things fails. i am one of the few people on the planet who has dealt with a failed one. tom: we have got the phillips curve and all the fancy phrases. where is behavioral economics? are you ignoring robert shiller? think that was
5:39 am
the problem before the crisis. it was partly a problem in the fed. the greenspan doctrine was neglected in the fed. it was not a sexy place to work. the difficulty is people have importance of behavioral economics. i'm not sure they know how to operationalize it. how do you make it part of policy? it is all good talking about it. if you have the job, how do you spot irrational exuberance from harmless? level you spot the debt from the equity bubble? the heart of this and i go back to mervyn king's speech in is so important is the theory of the central bank getting out front, of being
5:40 am
.x-post or ex-ante are we delusional thinking central banks can get out front? we would be delusional to put all our chips on that. sometimes they can do that. greenspan did a good job in spotting the uplift in productivity in the late 1990's. you cannot rely on it. we cannot rely on spotting when the next crisis -- where the next crisis will come from. all we can do is make the system more resilient and that includes being able to cope with failure. be more attention in all of these programs on how make big banks and dealers resolvable so we can resolve them in a crisis.

news has been up scaring signs of a more positive tone in negotiations. that is going to be the driver of sentiment in markets. we will get a positive meeting of the heads of government in september. that is a wish on both sides to get positive sentiment. seeing signs of a pragmatic approach from the u.k. and they want to strengthen treaties. they would rather be negotiating with her than with boris johnson. on the uk's side, it is noisy. you have to keep coming back to, you have to know how to count. theresa may has the numbers. he may try to challenge her during or after the conference. i do think he has the numbers to challenge her successfully. francine: what do you see priced

into the markets? seeing theresummer is more chance of the u.k. crashing out and it looks like it is more likely we do deal. if you look at what is priced into the interest rate markets, there are no hikes. the baseline scenario of investors is malaise. it is going to keep sterling at depressed levels. tom: i want to bring up sterling. i am only doing this because i want john normand back on the show. this is sterling and volatility. directional, the weak over your weaker. can you bet on the one-way bet of a weak sterling? think it is a
5:50 am
great risk award because you are starting at a high level of volatility and a cheap currency. it is a decent risk award. i would rather be short sterling. tom: where is the opportunity? better reward is owning yen given the uncertain trade policy or being short commodity currencies. rupert: i take a different view on the pound. we saw there was a story out of berlin saying some of the details were not that newsy. the german government wanted to create positive momentum but sterling jumped. is heavily positioned short sterling and there is potential for upside news to have significant market impact. francine: how does the market navigate that? paul: i have not the faintest
5:51 am
idea. i think it is mainly nonsense. in terms of the long-term consequences, that is what the smart money thinks. the chart tom showed, which was on options, they are distorted. likes to be short volatility, particularly in a low yield environment. if you think about brexit or mr. trump and the trade war, it is fantastically uncertain. to be long volatility, that is not what people will do because it cost money. you talk about these things too much on this kind of show. i think the bank of england would be focused on the short-term when it comes to the risk of a no deal. francine: the real concern is that markets can move fast.
5:52 am
you have to follow the shorter term money to understand what markets are thinking. markets typically under price risk except when they overshoot in the other direction. what i'm sure central banks are thinking about, is have they got the armor to respond quickly if bad things happen? in terms of disturbances, they learned a lot during the crisis and we have seen that since the worst of the crisis. andhould all be worried they should be worried and they should find a way of talking about this more. their arsenal is depleted. doubly, my generation was able to reduce interest rates and do qe. there is going to be no reducing from 5% to 0%. tom: is that a reason for
5:53 am
chairman powell to raise interest rates? do you buy the idea of raising rates simply to have the ammo when we slow down next time? paul: know, that is not a good argument. it is a good argument for the fed to use the countercyclical, which is becoming a debate. chairthe former fed vice had argued for the fed increasing the countercyclical buffer, using it. i think they should. in a world where the macroeconomic authorities have could do in the face of a recession, the banking system needs to be more resilient. calibrated like me in 2011, we were not betting on a low growth world where central
5:54 am
banks would have a depleted arsenal. this would be a reason for having higher capital requirements of than otherwise and the way for the fed to do that is to use the countercyclical capital buffer. tucker, one of the great voices of criticism. he has gone after the idea of a fully employed america and for that matter, a fully employed elite in london. is there is slack in the labor economy and can central bankers fix that? paul: i do not know the answer to the first question. think central banks and policymakers are in a position where, this was true at the end of my term in office, where they knew less about what is going on in the economy, the underlying than for generations.
5:55 am
people talk about whether the fed will make mistakes or whether the ecb will. it seems to me they will. it will not be the end of the world. the marvelous thing about central banking, they meet eight times a year. they can correct further areas. this is a feature of central-bank policy making. economy, to probe the do what they think is best, and explain they might have to reverse course. i chair powell as showing an ability -- i see chair powell as showing an ability to do that. francine: he is coming under fire from president trump. what does that mean? john: i do not think the fed are going to feel constrained.
