FOMC preview: Fed to sound mildly dovishNordea
The Fed will take a “wait-and-see” attitude at this week’s FOMC meeting. Although the central bank is likely to sound mildly dovish, acknowledging the increased risks to the outlook posed by the recent tightening of financial conditions, it is unlikely at this point to give any clear hints about the likely outcome of the March meeting. For now, our baseline scenario is still that the next hike will be in March, but it has become a close call.

How do global investors differentiate between sovereign risks? The new normal versus the oldBIS
When global investors go into emerging markets or get out of them, how do they differentiate between economies? Has this behaviour changed since the crisis of 2008 to reflect a "new normal"? ... we find an old normal in which a single global risk factor drives half of the variation in returns and a new normal in which that risk factor becomes even more dominant. Surprisingly, in both the old and new normal, the way countries load on this factor depends not so much on economic fundamentals as on whether they are designated an emerging market.

Kilpailukykypaketin ja pakkolakien laskelmat eivät ole kohdallaan, lisäksi leikkaukset koulutukseen syövät Suomen tulevaa kasvua. Näin lataa Talouspolitiikan arviointineuvosto kritiikkiä hallituksen sopeutustoimista. Sen sijaan suurta kuvaa eli sopeutustoimien mitoitusta ja aikataulua kiitellään.
