take the road of pumping more stimulus in, cutting rates, doing what they can on the central banking side. after the asianal crisis, many of these countries where seeming to learn the lessons. they built up their foreign reserves, thailand among them having very flush foreign reserves they can tap into. it is a matter of figuring out how to do that, reach deep into the toolbox and pump out the liquidity. for other economies, they don't have as much as -- in foreign reserves but they are looking at different ways on the monetary policy side and continuing to pump the fiscal stimulus. indonesia increased its deficit cap to 5.1% as we saw earlier this week, from 3%, so that -- they arewilling willing to forsake the problems on the debt side in the near term to provide that stimulus that is needed. i would expect to see more of them having to take that side of it, willing to risk the possibility of ratings downgrades to kind of stabilize the economy in the near-term when there's so much uncertainty and many calls for help. haslinda: thank you. come, we hear exclusively from the ceo of the world's biggest chip

point which is that spain and italy easily issue bonds that european central bank could simply buy in other words the natural is asian and the joint bonds more of a political symbol which could be very important for calming down the markets but in other words it doesn't actually add anything in terms of. what we can do in terms of fiscal terms and one thing that is also very clear which is that if you look at the north which is basically netherlands and germany at this stage. represented by the same people who negotiated the during the euro crisis we are looking at the prime minister margaret. and we are looking out and get a miracle and she is probably going to be still be here by the time i'm dead but. on the southern side we have people like mike jones saying and prime minister sanchez in spain and also comes in italy they're all newcomers and another factor i think we should forget about is the fact that. president obama is no longer which means that united states played a pivotal role in forging a compromise amongst the countries and that mechanism that talent is no longer. greg we know about the grumbling from

you think that mutual is asian is actually going -- that mutual eyes -- that mutualization is going to happen? jacob: you already have implicit debt mutualization through the central bank that has made to buy in well over 100 billion euros of predominantly sovereign assets per month for the rest of the year. these assets are going to be on the european central bank balance sheet, probably for a very long time, which in my opinion, makes it defective a ization.ual guy: but in that situation, local central banks buy local bonds. it is still reasonably at a national level. jacob: that is correct, but the point being at this point, it is mostly an operational matter. tothere were a need for this be shifted onto the ecb balance sheet in the future, if there were concerns about national i wouldbanks, which find rather illogical, but anyway, the key thing that the ecb has facilitated here is that all member states can now issue the bonds that they need in order to fight the coronavirus emergency. finally, we are seeing some serious movement there. remains thatpoint the central bank has facilitated decisive action by the member states. therefore, the real question continu

treasuries into the market, central banks sellingn heavily, as evidenced by the collapse in the fed's own holdings, and we have also seen anecdotes and evidence of a lot of asianyers, especially japan, coming into their march 31 year end, crystallizing long-term gains and a lot of their bond holdings, including treasuries, that have put new supply on the market. but then you also have to consider the primary market supply that has already started to pick up in the t-bill market. we end many others expect coupon supply to start rising substantially in order to fund all of these support programs that congress and the white house have approved. that thatk significant increase in coupon supply could come as early as next month, and therefore, i think the fed will certainly have to play a role in trying to absorb a lot of that supply potentially on their balance sheet, either through continued qe purchases, the possibility of maybe a new operation twist if the curve starts to steepen because the backend of the curve doesn't have the same kind of support from the policy rate that the front end of the curve has, and possibly even enacting rate caps if the situation a
