>Top 6. Leverage-based financial revolution:

  • Change of banks' business model:
    • 2008/6; Stephen Green, chairman of HSBC said, "The business model using high leverage was collapsed. This is not a collapse of bubble economy, but that of a business model. Banks need to return to the basic management style, establishing more reliable relations with client, effect to operation, and participation into rapidly growing market."
    • Since1980s financial globalization enabled high-leveraged business model, operating in high-growth emerging markets, furthermore since around 2002 credit derivative securitized US hosing loans (like CDS) is rapidly expanded risky operations.
    • Since collapse of US housing loans market in 2007, even risk assessment itself became unreliable, eventually collapsing many derivative products.
    • Financial liberation has enormously expanded profit of financial industry from 10% in early 1980s to 40% in 2007.
      • In Japan, when the bubble economy was collapsed in 1990, Japanese banks were prohibited to pursue risky operations; causing reorganizing banks during the lost decade period.
      • UK economy which collapsed in 1970s and 1980s, but revived since middle 1980s by the financial revolution (liberation), and London revived as the global financial center causing 14-year continuous economic growth.
      • Financial revolution enabled successful business model investing in China or Russia; which became an incentive for UK to allow the end of Cold War.
      • During various strategic mistakes by Bush administration eventuated the political and economical rise of BRICS.
      • Immoderate printing of US$ creates easy expansion of 'excellent bonds' of not only US G-bond, but bonds of other advanced countries G-bond and blue chip corporations; establishing hierarchical order of rate assessment system.
  • >Top Financial weapon:
    • Financial weapon was developed since 1990s, which is neither visible in execution nor be blamed as a war crime, and could be done by fewer people without informing their citizens.
    • This weapon is possibly used in the cases in Asian currency crisis in 1997-98, or Greek G-bond crisis in 2010.
    • As intelligence activity is important prior the war, it the same case of financial war.
      • Such intelligence operation is done in Wall Street or City of London rather than Langley in Virginia, or Pentagon.
    • >Top Excess issuance of US$:
      • Fiat money:
        2 times of Gold volume (1969); now about 5 times were issued. (end of 1970)
      • 1971-75: US Government tried to devaluate US$ to return the Gold Standard; but in 1976 floating exchange rate system was finally adopted. (Kingston system)
      • Since 1985 financial liberalization, shadow banks (hedge fund or investment banks handling bonds with high leverage ratio) have sustained $ value.
      • No support or unsubstantiated money becomes rather strength of US$.; which is supported by bond financial system (or shadow banking system).
        • Enormous amount of the offshore dollar account which was made as the off balance of the financial institutions became support of US$.
        • US-UK economy had not experienced minus growth more than decade since 1990s.
        • But expansion trend of US economy has stopped since the subprime crisis in 2006, due to the collapse of overall credibility of the bond market.
        • >Top 2018/3: Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (Dodd-Frank Act) (Financial Regulation Act), which aims to turn banks into regulated utilities.
          • Such a minor regulation will not make ineffective of the financial weapon.

        • China and Germany agreed trade settlement by Euro & RMB.
        • 2016 AIIB (capital $100B) invested by 70 countries (excluding US and Japan); investment for OBOR (One Belt, One Road Initiative)

      • Research and warning by FSB; restricting speculations to prevent another Euro crisis (the attack by short sales, derivatives, CDS, etc.)
      • Shadow transactions; 1/3 is in US, 2/3 in EU, etc.
    • >Top Basel-III (Third Basel Accord):
      • 2013/4: Global regulatory framework on bank capital adequacy, stress testing, and market liquidity risks; in response to the financial crisis in 2007-08. (Macro prudence)
      • Switzerland considered Basel II was insufficient in 2007 crisis; USB suffered enormous impairment loss.

          • LCR=Liquidity Coverage Ratio
      • Profitability:
        • Conventional bank business: ROE average 15%, risk continues until repayment; business scale $10T in US, and $30T worldwide.

          • Creditor could not segment default loan, and execute security right.
          • QE→down of fund raising cost→down of risk premium→more AAA bond→virtuous cycle of finance
          • Once financial crisis happens →Evaluation rating will be meaningless→even CDS can not be covered.
          • CDS securing 20% of ABS (asset backed securities); balance $60T。
      • >Top Formerly FRB governs commercial banks, and SEC governs investment banks; now FRB governs both.

  • >Top History of Tax Haven (offshore financial center):
    • 1967: Cayman Islands started tax haven.
      • After the Nixon Shock in 1971 the Gold Standard was collapsed.
      • Floating Exchange rate system is preferable for tax haven countries, who can secretly manipulate it.
      • Since 1985, secret funds from African dictators have accumulated in Jergy Island in Channel Islands near Normandy. (Crown dependency)
    • Nicholas Shaxson: researcher at Chatham House, wrote about sub-Saharan Africa oil ('Poisoned Wells') and Tax Havens ('treasure Islands'), criticizing US-UK global strategy.

      • Total assets of governments and corporations related African business are much larger than their related debts; Africa is surplus countries, but actually debt countries.
      • Capital inflow to Greece at the time of G-Bond crisis is mostly from tax haven countries; Luxemburg, Virgin Islands, Cayman Islands, Ireland, etc.
      • Unless enormous hidden funds deposited in tax haven, most of problems of US financial deficit, African poverty, and EU financial crisis could be explicit.
      • The hidden funds (drastically increased since 1985) amounts more than half of the world financial assets, and 1/3 investment money of MNE.
      • The Cayman Islands accumulated $1.9T fund, more than 3/4 of the world hedge fund.
      • After WWII, most of British colonies were abolished, but made world small territories function as tax haven to absorb funds from US or others.
      • Regarding tax haven operation, English bank supported, and UK Ministry of Finance opposed; UK Ministry of Foreign Affairs took ambiguous attitude.
        • British series: Jarsey Island, Cayman Islands, Bermuda Islands, Ireland, Dubai, Singapore, Hong Kong.
        • Continental series: Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Luxemburg, Monaco
        • Others: Panama, Gabon, Ghana
    • Object of tax haven:
      • A function of the financial weapon:
        • Enormous funds can outflow to the target of emerging country to expand the bubble there and make it collapse.
        • Since 1990s, such actions caused economic crisis in Mexico, South-eastern countries, Korea, and marginal countries of EU.
        • George Solos is an exceptionally took an action against the will of UK.
        • Switzerland is an permanent neutral country which can collect money and functions as a tax haven; accepted funds from hostile countries to UK like Socialists, or Nazi Germany.; Since 1980s Switzerland which accepted Nazi fund was pressed to abandon such tax haven function, compensating to Jewish. (actually UK operates more tax haven bases than Switzerland.)
      • During American Civil War (1861-65), UK funded Confederate Army via Bahama Island.
      • Since 1930s, US mafia made money laundering from Florida to Cuba via Caribbean Islands. This Florida route was revived after the Cuban Revolution in 1959.

    • 2016/3; China drafted rules to impose a genuine currency transaction tax; initially 0% calculating potential revenue from different rate schemes.
    • George Soros; it is true that it may discourage currency speculation but it would also reduce the liquidity of the market place.
    • CTT (Currency Transaction Tax), or more general FTT (Financial Transaction Tax).
    • Economists propose 0.01 -0.1% tax rates, considering existing transaction costs (spread) of multinational banks; to be used as UN costs.
      • To perform the Tobin Tax, IMF needs to govern all International transactions; which means to deny the function of tax haven.
      • US functions as the world government, and IMF as the world Ministry of Finance.
  • >Top Scenario of collapse of the financial hegemony:
    • QE→raise of stock prices→(apparent) economic growth without decreasing unemployment rate.
    • Most of the general public (80% of US people) suspect the apparent economic growth.
    • US-UK credit rating agencies (like Moody's Corp) needs either to devaluate US-UK G-bond or to discredit own evaluation.
    • Distorted data:
      • Not only credit rating but there are other distorted data by US Gov.
      • Unemployment rate, Inflation rate, Crude oil prices (WTI index, West Texas Intermediate 6% of US crude oil production, or 1-2% of world at NYMEX, merged with CME, Chicago Mercantile Exchange in 2009), etc.
      • Credibility of US$ depends on US hegemony, or vice versa.; Collapse of US-UK hegemony may cause murder-suicide of the world economy system.

        • G20 activities are discreet or inconspicuous.
      • Actual strife:
        • US Gov. prevents fall of US G-bond and credibility of US$ by continuing QE policy, on the other side, strengthens economic sanctions against Russia; rating companies relegated Russia as a junk.; Moody's Ba1, S&P BBB-, Fitch BBB-
          • Ratings: AAA/AA+/AA/AA-/A+/A/A-/BBB+/BBB/BBB-/BB+ ...
          • 2018/2: S&P raised Russian G-bond from BB+ to BBB-

          • US/UK Gov. have continued to lower the gold price by futures trading.; raise of gold price favors producing country Russia.
    • Gold bullion:
      • Gold is the opposite value of US$ or US G-bond.

          • FRB sells gold in London market; which deals more in spot trading.
          • China or other emerging countries are in high demand of gold; when they buy it, they eager to hold it by themselves.

>Top 13. Postscript:

  • This book is compiled for the author's new summary.
  • Since 2015/1, the situation is changing more rapidly.
  • >Top Each central bank does not act independently, but does as a world network led by US FRB.; since the Bretton Wood system, the Plaza Accord, and recent QE policy.
    • The QE policy could not recover the world economy, but to survive longer of US financial hegemony.
    • US has continued QE for six years, but could not recovered.
      • Germna and Swiss banks did not follow the QE plicy.
      • China is an outsider of the central banks network; watching critically the situation.
  • The battle between gold and paper will end.
    • consequently many delivative transactions will be terminated.; and finally the Gold Standard may be revived.
    • The financial bond market will collapse; and many banks will be in defaut.; banks will be survived by 'bail-in' system (reducing major credit), not by 'bail out' system.
  • Japan followed US QE policy, inevitably is destine to follow declining route in several or two decade years. There is not enough analysis or warning about this pessimistic scenario; most of the people will fall in total confusion.
