6:39 pm
guest host this hour. bill rhodes. you take a look at the euro, ecb is firm on winding down. what are your thoughts? >> i think there's so much liquidity in the markets from all of the work done by the central banks over the last decade. at some point in time you have realistick to a market. mario draghi will stop the quantitative easing. happens witht interest rates. he's a very cautious guy. him well. i think we're seeing this. if you're going to get back in sustainedany sort of growth, you have to get back to a real marketplace. he's concerned about his own italy in particular. which is a weak point. muchtalian economy is so bigger than the greek economy. that's one of the things they're
6:40 pm
focused on a bit. doubt that hes no quantitativethe easing. >> bill i want to skip ahead. up with the keep federal reserve. insumer price index came weaker. september rate hike, done deal. think there's a chance? >> they will do it. surprised everyone. this is just a one-off. it. not clear what caused i think the trend is -- particularly, i'm not great believer in it, with the and thement where it is need for jobs technical jobs, you willthat i think start to see some pressure building up. is have another area which oil. oil and gas, energy. also.ould have an effect i've been consistent with starting with last year.
6:41 pm
four increase this year. every time i get on the program, we're going to have september and december. i don't think he wants to get behind the curve. next year is another story. -- what he'll do next year. that's an open book. estimatinge we under the impact of tariffs and slow down in growth? >> if this continues on, these trade wars, there's no doubt it have an impact. worldwide. to question is, are we going get a settlement of the big one, u.s.-china. i think progress as i indicated before, will happen on nafta. few months to get canadian. -- canada. there's some indication with
6:42 pm
europe. will depend on china, u.s. one,question is a good overtime it will have an impact inflation. >> what happens once the tax package that was passed last year starts to fade off next year? >> i think you can say that that was inflation in itself. i think that could push also on prices. i felt we'renows, under estimating the potential inflation. that's the big concern. in the united states, we forget throughod that he went when we let inflation get out of hand. we're far from that now. further fromven that. they made progress on gdp. machinee progress on orders. inflation is not still long way
6:43 pm
from 2%. there's no reason for them anything now. what's going to happen when the ready tognal that it's start pulling away? one trillion yen question. is striving for this 2% inflation. it's not clear when it's going to happen. of this continue all stimulus forever. he, himself, can get in trouble there. at some point in the next six months, we'll see something happen. we're following it closely. three months. to that end, do you think the fill up thel five-year term. we'll see him announcing some more substantial change and a get replacement maybe one of the governors? >> he and abe are close.
6:44 pm
if abe continues i think probably for the immediate future, karoda will too. sync.o are in you remember that election the liberal party election coming up this month. if abe gets reelected in the party, he'll be running again for prime minster. to keephe'll want karoda. >> bill, one last question before we leave this central power, the boe, he's course.the house prices will fall back 35% we get a chaotic no deal brexit. is that what we should be anticipating that we are deadline?own to this >> i think you're correct there.
6:45 pm
theink that's one of reasons they reappointed and carney. he's basically the sign of stability there. that when the election happened and they turned the referendum, they turned brexit down. asked a number of tv shows what i thought would happen. keep marklong as they carney, he will be the instrument and stability. toss up now a whether they'll meet that date or not. the government divided as it is europeans really want to get some agreement here, it parties.h making paralysis how central bank might have their tied. they may not be able to react to policy. us., stick around for
6:46 pm
6:48 pm
>> banks today are safer than they were then. they're not safe. what we need to do is to put in place a system in which banks provide the security to ae central bank in advance of crisis. >> we don't have a european team can will be an important element banking unit. >> when banks are selling half book value or less, that is telling you something about the underlying health of those institutions. when we don't recognize that in
6:49 pm
6:50 pm
ago.we were here ten years are we more vulnerable today than we were before the financial crisis. bill i want to start something from an opinion from that editorial. saying overall the global financial system looks troubling it did in 2007. financiala number of institutions globally. there's no political will to find a fundamental fix. heard from the number two yesterday saying, it's human nature to forget about these things and to make the same partly sunny -- mistakest. seeing?what you're
6:51 pm
are littlethe risks bit different. thats basically subprime drove this. for yield.d reach that a lot ofgers risk-taking that's not proven happened. i think that's where we have to watch it. almost 9 or 10 years in this. really depends on the type haveedit controls a you risk management and the real risk management
6:52 pm
better today. what kills banks at the end of really a lack of capital. it's a really lack of liquidity. depends on of that where banks are and the liquidity side of it. what kind of risk management been carried away. the other thing is, we have a of risk. sort we've had a tremendous growth in the world. we talk about china. systeme shadow banking here in the united states. you have it in europe. lot of it isn't properly controlled. lot easier to control the banks than it is the shadow banking system. differentome from a area. than we've seen in the past. why i'm of the reasons sharing a commission study group at the group of 30 on culture
6:53 pm
and conduct. veryf the things that is necessary in any financial institution, particularly banks is you have the proper culture and conduct. because one of the things we found is that the conduct of the banks was really bad theye sense of how culture, whate they thought about making loans the compensation out of line. important today. trump now with the administration emphasizing of deregulation. the overhaul of dodd-frank, do you think that's a risk? >> you have to be careful how far that goes. know there's a lot of pressure rule. volcker things like stress testing are absolutely necessary. very good things after the effect happen, even though the people in the treasury and the fed didn't
6:54 pm
believe as i did know that we were going to have a blow up. happened, they took very good steps in recapitalizing the off the bad loans and i think that that's keephing that we have to in mind going forward. one of the reasons you're european banks haven't come back quickly, they took their time in raising capital and writing off bad loans. also a sign, i think for asia. chance two years ago it talk about culture and conduct offront of the people's bank china. andiscussed culture conduct. conduct is key. partve bad conduct on the of banks, you see it in many this really falls out into how they deal with customers, their staff. that's what you have to watch for very carefully. made progress from last
6:55 pm
time? yes. but there's still a lot of question marks out there. watch for the search and reach for yield. >> bill, i want to harken back op-ed you wrote in the financial times. march 2007. raising some very important red flag. you said pocket of excess are to ignore.rder problems in the housing and mortgage area like the subprime one example of success. today, hedge funds and those in credit derivatives play important and untested role. threat now? what is this thing we don't see the regulators and federal reserve. had warnings and nobody listened. mentionedthe point i is the shadow banking era. technologyng is the that now exists in the financial system. didn't exist ten years
6:56 pm
ago. i think we have to be very careful in that area. because operational risk is risk. you go down and you have market risk, you have credit risk, you have operational risk and if you don't do any one of those correctly, you end up with reputational risk which is very hard to get back. i think those are things that have to be watched very carefully. it's never the same thing in any crisis. different. something the we are concentrating on big commercial banks. we should be looking at other areas. the hedgee size of fund, money market funds. whether to question they're adequately regulated. i think there's a an overconcentration on the big commercial banks and maybe they should be looking at these other areas. in a more profound way. are behindegulators
6:57 pm
the latest technology that's going on. i think that's very important also. >> bill, thank you so much for your time today for guest show.g our you. having bill rhodes. be sure to check out his book" the world leadership lessons." we'll talk more about the financial crisis on day break asia next. we'll be joined by asian telling us the next negotiations between the a bitnd china, he's skeptical about where those could go as he thinks neither side has an exit strategy. >> with some of that trade optimism, are interested to see out.t plays proper trading in new zealand way.under just few minutes out from open
