A quote from the BIS guy. Topic regarding Covid recovery response from CB.
We haven’t seen many bankruptcies and to some extent that surprised us. We have seen less bankruptcies than you would even have anticipated without the shock. So the question is why and of course it has to do with the huge accommodation.

^ Of course they would say that.

The only reason why there may have been any drop in bankruptcy rates in Australia was that the government put SMEs on a cash drip. That’s not accommodative monetary policy, it’s fiscal.
 
Actually, it probably helped big companies with their balance sheets, they’re the only ones that borrowed more.
