6:05 pm

6:07 pm
where we are here, in the re-inflation or at least reemployment trade. but, good luck, janet. i think she is facing an uphill battle to get countries to agree to it. haidi: kim, when you talk about reinflation, i suppose return to normal trade, how does your [-] fit into that? >> i think they rise above it. technology, at least how we are redeploying it lately, has become a substitute for labor. so, as labor costs go up, companies want to substitute some of those technologies for that. so at the very bottom of my risk level in semiconductor companies. that is because semiconductors delivered technology. they are technology, but they deliver it. i think that area is set to grow.

we also look at 5g, which i think people or consumers and businesses, are looking forward to faster speeds, and some of the more esoteric things that will come along with 5g to drive whatever the next wave of innovation is. so, those are longer-term benefits. i think investors should pay attention to them. haidi: consumer discretionary fashion a particular is something you are looking as we get to the prospects reopening, the reunion dressing thing, if you will? >> exactly, and i think especially the people who really like to buy close and where close -- buy clothes and wear clothes, this is your season. they are to want to look sharp and it may not be something they have bought the last season. so that i think is an easy bet,

targets for oaktree. >> we are active around the globe, and there is more to do in asia and europe than in the united states. and, you know, i think we do sing ourselves as investors -- i think we distinguish ourselves as investors by what we do when our strategy is not in great favor. every strategy goes in and out of favor and this is the time to try to be resourceful, and yet maintain our standards, it is very challenging. >> no doubt about it, howard. in 2020 had your your endnote and it was remarkable downturn and snapback up right away. to make money you had to move really fast, a year ago now. i know you raised i think a record amount of capital, oaktree capital management at the time. could you get the money out the door and put a torque fast enough? >> the -- out -- out the door and put it to work fast enough? >> the fund we raised was july 1
6:16 pm
so the greatest opportunities were passed. the opportunities that arose primarily in march and somewhat carried into april and may, we used to complete the investment of our prior fund. so we had a fund that was 30% or 40% invested at the beginning of 2020, and we got it fully invested. that was the best of the buying. >> the market has rebounded, the economy is in the process of rebounding with remarkable speed. at the same time it is uneven. let's talk about some of those disparities particularly things like travel and leisure, are there still perhaps opportunities there, because that seems to be lagging the rest of the economy? >> well, you know the easy calls, the things that are obviously going to rebound, they are not fully back to where they work in times of prosperity and terms of the investment opportunities subsiding. but they are, it is clear they are coming back, they are treated as coming back.

6:21 pm
it was announced as policy changes. but we will be watching to see any change in language around our assessment of risk. we did see sydney housing prices rose by the most in 33 years in march and are showing no signs of abating. to date, the army has been happy with lending standards, how they have been upheld, but we will be watching to see if there is any change in language around there, and no doubt the rba's keeping a close eye on the area. back to policy, the rba this month does complete its first one had a billion qe program -- it's first 100 billion qe program and will commence at second 100 billion qe program. the second is whether it will roll the target bond from the november to the april bond. we expect this to be confirmed in coming months. shery: how successful has rba
6:22 pm
policy been so far? we are seeing lower yields and weaker aussie dollar? >> yes, that's correct. i think the rba will be pleased heading into this meeting, given the way that yields have moved, and the australian dollar is also lower so the rv it will be pleased there is comfort there. shery: in terms of the financial stability report we will see later in the week, what should we be watching for? >> yes, as i mentioned, the housing market is an area where they are spending a lot of time. just making sure the lending standards that have been put in place over the last, since the last property boom, that they still being upheld and making sure household services and
6:23 pm
mortgages if interest rates to rise. also a greater focus on job security. we saw the end of last month the rba and government wound up its job subsidy program. and treasury labeled that 150,000 jobs where risk with the wage subsidy program being wound up. the rba is expecting there will be bumps for the unappointed rate, and that obviously has touch for the unemployment rate and that has consequences for financial stability. but the unemployment has been on a downward trajectory since july. at 1130, that will be an indication of the labor market heading into that, as it has to adapt post subsidy -- post the

6:27 pm
aftermath of the pandemic hanging over the developed world , certainly hitting the world's poorest nations very hard. we will ask about a number of things. if the g20 does extend his jet suspension -- if the g20 does extend its debt suspension for more months is that enough to stem what she refers to as the quietly bring financial crisis that hits mainly in emerging markets but could spread more broadly? later, carlos to make us -- dominguez, finance secretary the philippines, a case study and what carmen reinhart is looking at even other that situation is fairly strong among asian emerging markets, there lockdowns are enforce again in manila where the virus has been surging. what will this do to their growth and what is it me for hitting growth targets? and inflation rising in the philippines, as well as new

so you're a small business, or a big one. you were thriving, but then... oh. ah. okay. plan, pivot. how do you bounce back? you don't, you bounce forward, with serious and reliable internet. powered by the largest gig speed network in america. but is it secure? sure it's secure. and even if the power goes down, your connection doesn't. so how do i do this? you don't do this. we do this, together. bounce forward, with comcast business.
6:30 pm
kathleen: you're watching "bloomberg daybreak: asia." we would like to welcome listeners as the world bank and imf start their spring meetings. the g20 is likely to extend the that service suspension initiative, for foreign nations meets this week but will it be enough? joining us to discuss this and more is world bank vice president and chief economist, carmen reinhart. welcome back, i notice a very busy week and day for you. i want to dive into this question, you been arguing a long time the pandemic has deepened the divide between rich
6:31 pm
and poor. the divide gets worse as some of the rich put their vaccines in place and their stimulus in place to move ahead, and the poor heavily in debt, get further behind. so, is this extension or potential extension by the g20, of extending poor nations'debt payments, going to be enough? >> the resounding answer is no. but i think it helps. it helps in that it is still funneling through the end of this year, not yet decided but probably. funneling the capacity to shift from paying debt, debt service, to the dire emergency needs. so that certainly helps. but is enough, to restore that sustainability in the number of cases, or, more important, widespread, to be the kind of
6:32 pm
catalyst to growth? no, absolutely not. kathleen: what kind of steps you envision being taken? is it something that has to come from the richer nations to the poorer nations? we know what we have seen with this new cohort of countries that lend to poorer nations, including china, it is not just the paris club and have love governments but it is much harder to get these deals done. one of the big criticisms is they often help the private credit or smart and they help the poor nations. >> and it is a good criticism, right? take that dss i, which you mentioned. we have had no private sector participation to date. so, the issue of free writing -- freeriding on the official sector is not a new one, kathleen. that is one of the takeaways from the developing country
6:33 pm
crisis of the 1980's, notwithstanding that, i think we are going to be moving to the next stage, which is, you know -- if you take the poorest countries, the 74 countries eligible for dssi, a little more than half of them are either in debt distress or approaching it. that is going to require debt forgiveness. it is going to require haircuts, on the part of creditors. and there is actually no substitute for that. i think it is the realization that these countries'capacities to repay is not what it was, when those loans were made, when the bonds were bought. kathleen: another concern that seems to be heating up is that
6:34 pm
vaccines, stimulus, u.s. economy picks up, investors bet on maybe some insulation -- maybe some inflation or a fed that moves quicker to start removing some -- stimulus, at the least tapering bond purchases. are you worried this could create the kind of damaging some outflows of money from emerging markets? as the imf is? >> most certainly. look, i hate to say how long ago , more than 20 years ago, i wrote a piece with wheeler nardo lehrman and my mentor from columbia university precisely on the issue of the very central importance of u.s. rates, and how they drive capital flows. the most recent report shows capital flows have weekend again, -- weakened again and
6:35 pm
arthur weakest point since the major shakeout that we saw -- again and are at their weakest point since the major shakeout we saw last spring. kathleen: you weren't emerging markets may have to deal with the need to raise rates to shore up their currencies, to prevent capital flows, and limit the upside on inflation. but, you point outlook, these countries have already been hit so hard by the pandemic all right? so the last thing they need is higher rates. what would this do to countries like the philippines, like indonesia? >> so, look, higher rates are a very tough choice. but don't forget also that countries have thought long and hard, emerging markets have also thought long and hard, to have occurred ---- fought long and hard and emerging markets have fought long and hard.
6:36 pm
and inflation is very regressive in emerging markets, hits the poor hard and its food prices, which make up a big talk of the basket of lower income households. so it is a very tough environment, because you do not want to raise rates in the midst of what is still a downturn. and at the same time, you cannot sit back and say ok, we are not going to worry about inflation. because that also, in itself, is quite a regressive setback. kathleen: did you worry about policy credibility of central bank independence among emerging markets as they try to navigate these very tricky waters? and they run the economy hot and echo the fed, a temper a burst of inflation, and is that potentially undermining them in the long run? >> you know the idea that emerging markets have this full
6:37 pm
independence of monetary policy is just not there, in reality. you know, big economies, what the u.s. does and what the ecb as a whole, does, is not something that is in the capacity of even big emerging markets. witness brazil, which raised its rates in the midst of what is a horrendous health situation, and indeed, recession. that has never been the case. now come your question of central bank independence, i think that is a question for everybody, not just emerging markets. you know, we are heading into a post-covid world, in which raising interest rates will be not without significant costs in terms of what it implies for debt servicing. now, let me get back to the emerging-market question. rates may rise because central
6:38 pm
banks tighten or they may rise because they don't, and inflation expectations rise. so, as i said, it is a tight rope act. a very difficult situation, which is why you hear so much worry around the annual meetings , for the fact that we have a very uneven recovery, with the u.s., and to a lesser degree, europe, doing much better, than not to support countries, but the middle income emerging-market class as well. kathleen: what is the answer here? what do you do? >> look, i think countries have to continue with social policies as long as the pandemic is creating ravages.
6:39 pm
we are seeing new spikes in india. we are seeing spikes in eastern europe all over. south america there are concerned. so we still have, we are still in the midst of an emergency. i think, however, the idea, i think it is very dangerous to say, let's just go back to 20 years ago and give up on all the gains that have been made, in establishing the credibility of central banks, and maintaining a stable environment, which is very important for the households that don't have the ability to hedge against high inflation. kathleen: you mentioned debt servicing just now, and last week he wrote a piece where you
6:40 pm
talk about a quiet crisis in the financial sector, gathering momentum. when we put this in the context of borrowing, pandemic related borrowing. it has pushed up total outstanding debt in the developing world to 25% of -- 250% of countries'combined gdp. how does that constrain what countries can do? what does it mean in terms of this quiet financial crisis? >> but, i think as we have been discussing, there is a lot of focus on what fiscal policy is doing, and what monetary policy is doing. but where does the quieter financial crisis come from? one thing that does not get talked about as much is, from the wealthiest economies to the poorest, there has been considerable amount of temporary moratoria and grace periods,
6:41 pm
giving households and small and medium businesses especially, the ability to withstand the lockout. -- the lockdowns. at some point, those moratoria, those programs and. at some point -- end. at some point, more will be revealed, just how much of the existing debt are nonperforming loans, or how much of the small and medium businesses that have been kept afloat, will have to shuttered their doors for good, in terms of bankruptcies. that is, i do not think without any melodrama, i think that is a real risk. because the longer it takes, for us to overcome this pandemic, the more the balance sheet damage that is being done by this on and off need to shut down, to curtail travel, and any kind of normal activity. kathleen: so i want to ask you
6:42 pm
about special drawing rights. the u.s. treasury department, janet yellen on board notified congress of support from plan the imf has, to let the poorer countries, everyone used are special drawing rights, in exchange for dollars, to pay down debt, or by imports. this is something that will help poorer nations. do a great will do that much to help them? some people say yes but richer nations even more. >> i think, and in these things the devil is in the details, and as allocations get shifted more to those that need it the most, i think it will help the poorer nations. i think the imf needed the additional firepower. remember, in 2008-2009, we have the super mega programs with greece, ireland, iceland,
6:43 pm
portugal. those were record shattering programs. the imf got an injection of sdr's at the time and it was needed, and i would say even much more universally needed now. so i think that, again, you know come the allocation will, in the end, be favoring also those countries that needed the most. but it is still not a substitute for debt write-offs. i think creditors, private creditors, official creditors, whether china, u.k., france, saudi arabia, whoever, will have to come to term, along with the bondholders and commercial lenders, that debt restructuring -serious debt restructuring - will be needed for these
6:44 pm
countries, to be able to restore some element of the setbacks that have already been suffered. you know, poverty rates have spiked for the first time in more than 20 years. kathleen: is this a threat, at this point in time, is this a threat that could spread from the poorer nations, spread from emerging markets, as may be rates to start rising, or stimulus starts tapering in the u.s. and other places, as the dollar continues to strengthen. is this something that becomes more about systemic problem for financial markets? >> look, you know, contagion, financial contagion, which is something among emerging markets we really have not seen since the 1990's. remember, we have the mexican tequila crisis. we had the asian crisis. we have the russian crisis,
6:45 pm
which was rolled into ltcm. that brings me importantly, so i do think the contagious element is something to be concerned about in this environment. i would also note, that the archegos accidents of this world are also, you know, we are living in a very expensive, global liquidity environment. there is a lot of risk-taking that low interest rates bring about. so, i concluded with the interaction between the russian, and ltcm crisis, which is not entirely related. but they were, they shared a lot of common ground. and i think that kind of risk
6:46 pm
take, on the part of financial firms, coupled with what is already, as i noted, for many reasons, a fragile, more fragile emerging-market, although there is huge differentiation across emerging markets and we cannot lump them all into one bag. i think it does set the stage for the possibility of some nasty episodes, especially if there are surprise interest rate spikes in the u.s. for any reason. kathleen: we honor when money starts exiting and running fast it can run fast and hard. thank you so much, world bank tv economist carmen reinhart -- world bank chief economist, carmen reinhart. >> thank you, kathleen. haidi: we have another big
