This was supposed to be the year when monetary policy started to get back to
normal. Seven years after Lehman Brothers collapsed, central banks were expected
to edge away from a policy of near-zero interest rates. But now, with the year
almost over, the Federal Reserve has yet to push up rates while other rich-world
central banks are focused more on easing than on tightening. Sweden’s Riksbank
extended its quantitative easing (QE) programme on October 28th. Mario Draghi, the
president of the European Central Bank, has indicated that further easing may come
in December, probably by adjusting the pace, scale or type of asset purchases in
its QE regime. More than two-fifths of economists polled by Bloomberg forecast
that the Bank of Japan would pick up the pace of its monetary easing on October
30th, after The Economist went to press. Even if policy is kept unchanged, the
bank plans to expand the money supply at an annual rate of ¥80 trillion ($664
billion).The picture in the emerging markets is more mixed. Capital Economics
calculates that, on balance, slightly more emerging central banks have been
tightening than cutting. But China cut interest rates on October 23rd, the sixth
reduction in the last year. India unveiled a half-percentage-point rate cut in
late September.

The attitude of central banks reflects their worries about economic growth. The
IMF just lowered its global growth forecast to 3.1% for 2015, with cuts applying
to both advanced and developing economies. Inflation is also low in Europe, North
America and Asia, giving central banks more freedom to be supportive.

The benign interest-rate outlook is one reason why equities have recovered from
the wobbles they suffered in August and September. As of October 28th, the S&P 500
index had regained nearly all the ground lost in the previous two months. Futures
markets indicate that investors do not expect the first Fed hike until next year,
although that may change after the Fed’s open market committee removed a previous
reference to global economic risks in its October statement.
RBI Assistant 2017 Mains Previous Year Paper

The other main reason why markets have rallied is a more sanguine view of the
Chinese economy. Official figures for third-quarter GDP showed growth of 6.9% and,
although some have doubts about the data, it was noticeable that the IMF did not
downgrade its forecast for Chinese growth in its latest global outlook.

But the optimism should not be taken too far. Other market indicators still
suggest investors are worried about sluggish growth and deflation. Bloomberg’s
commodity index is down by more than a quarter over the past 12 months. The yield
on the ten-year Treasury bond is hovering around 2%, not a level that suggests
investors expect normal levels of economic growth to return any time soon.

American companies are also struggling to maintain the robust profit growth they
have shown since 2009. While third-quarter profits for S&P 500 companies are
marginally ahead of expectations (as is usually the case), they are still likely
to be 4% lower than they were a year ago; sales will probably fall by 3%.It is
simply hard to keep pushing up profits when global GDP growth is subdued. The
number of American companies citing a slowing global economy as affecting their
profits and revenues is more than 50% higher than a year ago, according to Thomson
Reuters. The news is no better in Europe, where third-quarter profits are expected
to be down 5.4% on the year, with revenues dropping 7.9%.So the equity markets are
caught in something of an awkward equilibrium. Positive economic news will make
the outlook for profits more rosy but will also mean that the Fed is more likely
to push up rates. And bad economic news may mean a respite from monetary
tightening but is still bad news.

This explains the rather bumpy ride that stockmarkets have had in 2015. The lack
of profit growth makes it hard for markets to surge ahead (the MSCI world index is
back around its end-2014 level). But without higher interest rates, or evidence
that big economies are slipping into outright recession, share prices are unlikely
to collapse. Central banks may have helped stockmarkets in an era of low growth by
making other assets less attractive; the result was a positive shift in share
valuations. But slow growth hasn’t gone away.

markets indicate that investors do not expect the first Fed hike until next year,
although that may change after the Fed’s open market committee removed a previous
reference to global economic risks in its October statement.

The other main reason why markets have rallied is a more sanguine view of the
Chinese economy. Official figures for third-quarter GDP showed growth of 6.9% and,
although some have doubts about the data, it was noticeable that the IMF did not
downgrade its forecast for Chinese growth in its latest global outlook.

But the optimism should not be taken too far. Other market indicators still
suggest investors are worried about sluggish growth and deflation. Bloomberg’s
commodity index is down by more than a quarter over the past 12 months. The yield
on the ten-year Treasury bond is hovering around 2%, not a level that suggests
investors expect normal levels of economic growth to return any time soon.

American companies are also struggling to maintain the robust profit growth they
have shown since 2009. While third-quarter profits for S&P 500 companies are
marginally ahead of expectations (as is usually the case), they are still likely
to be 4% lower than they were a year ago; sales will probably fall by 3%.It is
simply hard to keep pushing up profits when global GDP growth is subdued. The
number of American companies citing a slowing global economy as affecting their
profits and revenues is more than 50% higher than a year ago, according to Thomson
Reuters. The news is no better in Europe, where third-quarter profits are expected
to be down 5.4% on the year, with revenues dropping 7.9%.So the equity markets are
caught in something of an awkward equilibrium. Positive economic news will make
the outlook for profits more rosy but will also mean that the Fed is more likely
to push up rates. And bad economic news may mean a respite from monetary
tightening but is still bad news.

This explains the rather bumpy ride that stockmarkets have had in 2015. The lack
of profit growth makes it hard for markets to surge ahead (the MSCI world index is
back around its end-2014 level). But without higher interest rates, or evidence
that big economies are slipping into outright recession, share prices are unlikely
to collapse. Central banks may have helped stockmarkets in an era of low growth by
making other assets less attractive; the result was a positive shift in share
valuations. But slow growth hasn’t gone away.

Question No. 57

Which of the following is the central idea of the passage?

Options :

1. Governments are holding back central banks from implementing unpopular but
good reforms.
2. China is headed for a recession and is likely to plunge the world into the
recession like the one in 2008.
3. The monetary policies implemented by developed countries are adversely
affecting emerging ones.
4. Economies are still fragile and central cannot implement conventional
monetary policy.
5. The global economy is doing well in the last quarter of 2015 and will soon
be thriving.

Answer : Governments are holding back central banks from implementing unpopular
but good reforms.

Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions given below them.
Certain words/phrases have been printed in bold to help you locate them while
answering some of the questions.

This was supposed to be the year when monetary policy started to get back to
normal. Seven years after Lehman Brothers collapsed, central banks were expected
to edge away from a policy of near-zero interest rates. But now, with the year
almost over, the Federal Reserve has yet to push up rates while other rich-world
central banks are focused more on easing than on tightening. Sweden’s Riksbank
extended its quantitative easing (QE) programme on October 28th. Mario Draghi, the
president of the European Central Bank, has indicated that further easing may come
in December, probably by adjusting the pace, scale or type of asset purchases in
its QE regime. More than two-fifths of economists polled by Bloomberg forecast
that the Bank of Japan would pick up the pace of its monetary easing on October
30th, after The Economist went to press. Even if policy is kept unchanged, the
bank plans to expand the money supply at an annual rate of ¥80 trillion ($664
billion).The picture in the emerging markets is more mixed. Capital Economics
calculates that, on balance, slightly more emerging central banks have been
tightening than cutting. But China cut interest rates on October 23rd, the sixth
reduction in the last year. India unveiled a half-percentage-point rate cut in
late September.

The attitude of central banks reflects their worries about economic growth. The
IMF just lowered its global growth forecast to 3.1% for 2015, with cuts applying
to both advanced and developing economies. Inflation is also low in Europe, North

America and Asia, giving central banks more freedom to be supportive.

The benign interest-rate outlook is one reason why equities have recovered from
the wobbles they suffered in August and September. As of October 28th, the S&P 500
index had regained nearly all the ground lost in the previous two months. Futures
markets indicate that investors do not expect the first Fed hike until next year,
