Euro will not survive if Italy fails, Assessing a decade of QE

Commentary: Euro will not survive if Italy fails

By Desmond Lachman in Washington

An Italian debt default would trigger a European banking crisis with global economic and financial market ramifications. Italy is the euro area’s third largest economy. If it fails, the single currency cannot survive. It is also too costly for its European partners to save. However, the country’s new populist government is engaging in wishful thinking that somehow the country will grow its way out of its debt...

End of the ‘flat world’, City Lecture with James Bullard

Commentary: End of the ‘flat world’

By David Skilling in Singapore

A few years before the 2008 financial crisis, journalist Tom Friedman captured the zeitgeist with his argument that ‘the world is flat’, that all competitors in the global economy have an equal opportunity to succeed.
