    Richard Koo applying his theory to China's dilemna.



    It's also Jack Farley's last interview for Forward Guidance as he moves on to a new project which I welcome as it's been a fair while since I listened to his show. I'm wondering what his focus will be?

    So Richard expects China to experience a lost decade similar to the one Japan did in the 90s. Remedy? More aggressive fiscal stimulus :confused:

    I haven't finished watching it as yet, but that could be what happens. Local government is heavily indebted and can't afford to go into more debt so I think Xi Jinping is willing to step in and borrow at the national level in order to prop up GDP.
