Financial Markets

Sweden launched its failed negative rate plan almost five years ago and now reverses it due to the financial risks that are created.

When operating in an easy money regime, finding investments capable of providing reasonable returns becomes difficult to near impossible. Low risk vehicles are bid down to near-zero returns, pushing investors into ever riskier vehicles to generate enough return to cover objectives.

While some governments have sought to wage war against cryptocurrencies, Switzerland is striving to become a "crypto-nation." 

There seems to be an increasing consensus that a global recession is coming soon. The good news is that the Spanish private sector is much better prepared than it was in 2007.
