Thoughts on the RMB as a Reserve Currency: Cynicus Economicus submits: I have been discussing the steady progress of China in setting up the RMB as the reserve currency for a long while, and have proposed that it is fast moving towards success though success is not guaranteed. Economists like Nouriel Roubini have suggested that this is...; Tags: US Market, China, Cynicus Economicus; External links 2009-07-08
U.K.: Individual Liability for Government Debt: Cynicus Economicus submits: My original plan for this post was to highlight the disconnect between the stock market and the underlying state of the UK economy. However, there may be the start of a panic in stock markets, so it may be that the disconnect is starting to correct...; Tags: Seeking Alpha, Cynicus Economicus; External links 2009-11-02
On Economic Policy of Next U.K. Government: Cynicus Economicus submits: At this moment in time, it appears that barring any major blunders the UK will elect Conservative government at the next election. Several readers have asked me to discuss Conservative economic policy, so this post is a response to those requests. Before starting, I should emphasise...; Tags: Financial, Cynicus Economicus; External links 2009-10-10
A Puzzle: China and Treasuries: Cynicus Economicus submits: Perhaps some readers may think that I am obsessed with China as, once again, China is the central subject of this post. A long while back I speculated on what China might do as the current economic crisis unfolds (yes, it is still in full swing)....; Tags: China, US Market, Cynicus Economicus; External links 2009-09-22
When Will the Money Printing Cease?: Cynicus Economicus submits: Having already posted today, this is more of a note than a full post. I have noted recently that the UK inflation figures yet again defied Bank of England expectations of deflation. Whilst their recent inflation (.pdf) report was full of caveats on inflation vs. deflation,...; Tags: Financial, Cynicus Economicus; External links 2009-09-17

Special Drawing Rights: A Fantasy Built Upon Foundations of Sand: Cynicus Economicus submits: I have had a very interesting contribution to my blog regarding IMF Special Drawing Rights SDRs in a comment, with the commentator also sending some additional information by email. The point made by the commentator is that it appears that there is the development of quantitative...; Tags: Financial, China, Cynicus Economicus; External links 2009-09-17
The Rise and Rise of China: Cynicus Economicus submits: From the early point in my blog, I have emphasised the importance of China in the world economy, and this view is now shared by the mainstream. China has rapidly moved from being an important element of the world economy into becoming one of the central...; Tags: China, Cynicus Economicus; External links 2009-09-09
Musings on the U.S. Dollar's Decline: Cynicus Economicus submits: I made an error just under a year ago in predicting an early collapse of the US dollar; I predicted a collapse by April of this year. When the collapse failed to materialise I was forced to look at my model of the world, and explain...; Tags: US Market, Cynicus Economicus; External links 2009-08-26
U.K. Continues to Monetize Debt: This Won't End Well: Cynicus Economicus submits: The Telegraph's economics editor's latest article headlines that 'Mervyn King Wanted to Buy Half of the UK Government Debt Market'. It is a headline that, of itself, is worth some contemplation. That the Governor of the Bank of England should propose such an extreme...; Tags: Seeking Alpha, Cynicus Economicus, CurrencyShares British Pound Sterling Trust; External links 2009-08-20
U.K. Recovery Just a Mirage: Cynicus Economicus submits: A recent comment on my blog suggested that perhaps there was not much to write about, as the UK economy appears to be recovering. Bearing in mind that such stories are now appearing in the press, it is not surprising to see that this point of...; Tags: US Market, Cynicus Economicus; External links 2009-08-07
Supporting the Financial System by Bleeding the 'Real' Economy: Cynicus Economicus submits: I am in the highly unusual position of agreeing with Krugman or at least in part, the Nobel winning economist who writes in the New York Times. He has just recently written an op-ed on the subject of the huge profits being achieved by Goldman Sachs...; Tags: Financial, US Market, Cynicus Economicus, Goldman Sachs Group Inc.; External links 2009-07-19
Questions for the Bank of England's Deputy Governor: Cynicus Economicus submits: I have long been arguing that the Bank of England's purchase of gilts with printed money (so called quantitative easing - QE), has supported the UK bond market and that the Bank of England has effectively been monetizing the debt of the UK government. In my...; Tags: US Market, Cynicus Economicus; External links 2009-07-17
U.K. Inflation Climbing Once Again: Cynicus Economicus submits: The UK EconomyThe doubts about the future of the UK economy have been multiplying of late, prompting one commentator to seek to defend the economy, arguing that there remain competitive advantages in the UK economy. Despite such positive framing of the discussion, the doubts still remain,...; Tags: US Market, Cynicus Economicus; External links 2009-12-15
