About this episode
The episode discusses the UK Gilt market rally and the implications of the Bank of Japan's bond buying strategy amidst economic instability.
This is the latest in my series of podcasts explaining how economics works in the credit crunch and now virus pandemic era. This week I give my thoughts on do you see this UK Gilt market rally continuing or will some form of instability send yields soaring again this year? @FirstSquawk had a headline earlier saying that the Bank of Japan is keeping its bond buying at the same level in March as it was in February. Can you update us on the Bank of Japan's QE or Yield Curve Control programme, thanks. Interesting point about inflation and GDP. Maybe a question for next week...how well do other countries fair when it comes to calculating their inflation and GDP? Does this allow a fair comparison between nations performance?
