Mervyn King: time is running out to get economy back on track
Mervyn King has warned the UK recovery is off track and that governments are not doing enough to tackle the fundamental problems facing their economies.
In a speech in Liverpool last night following a report showing UK inflation had hit a record high of 5.2%, the Bank of England governor said that four years into the economic crisis it should be apparent that the major problem was solvency within banks and governments, not liquidity.
He said the problems of excessive debt had not gone away and that quantitative easing had only 'bought time' for the global economy and that inadequate policy had led markets to question the fundamental sustainability of banks and governments.
King said: 'So far, that time has not been used to deal with the underlying imbalances, or the weaknesses in bank and sovereign balance sheets.Time is running out.'
King highlighted what he sees as ongoing global imbalances, with unsustainably high levels of consumption in the US and UK, counterbalanced by unsustainably low levels of consumption in China, Germany and Japan.
He said all countries had a responsibility to adjust, otherwise 'the burden of debt will go on rising in the former group of countries and the latter group will find their loans eventually repaid in depreciated currencies, if at all.'
King urged the surplus counties to expand demand and thereby assist the deficit countries to rebalance and repay their debts.
While King said he believed inflation was 'close to its peak' and the medium term outlook was 'weak', he said the European sovereign debt crisis was making it difficult for the UK to rebalance and adjust as was necessary. He acknowledged that many people would find it odd that the MPC had expanded QE when inflation had risen to 5.2%
He warned the UK was 'treading a fine line' between stimulus to demand in the short run and a rebalancing of demand in the longer run.
However, he argued that easy monetary policy was necessary to keep inflation on target in the medium term, but that it would also act to slow the rebalancing process. But he said that without a rebalancing, the recovery was likely to be 'not merely reluctant but recalcitrant'.
