fiscal dominance
Discussion centred on whether large deficits and heavy debt constrain central banks, with several contributors linking this to fiscal dominance, inflation risk and gold or scarce assets. Robin Brooks argued Japan’s debt leaves the BoJ constrained 4, while the CLEAR COMMODITY NETWORK interview described the Fed as unable to control rates or print freely amid annual $2tn deficits 5. Dario Perkins dissented from treating fiscal dominance, fiscal risk or debasement as current yield drivers 2, and Luke Gromen identified unresolved questions about rate rises, Treasury financing and inflation under fiscal dominance 3.
