Land interest Rates

Recognised business media sage is that the move by the BJJ to impose adverse interest rates on CBRs is intended to incentivise banking to provide credit to companies instead of holding currency in the CBRs in order to help the Japan of Japan's economies recover from long-term periods of flatness.

There is a fundamental shortage of comprehension of why these resources exist at all. When there will be a freeing of currency into the business, it cannot come directly from the bank. Explaining that adverse interest rates are encouraging bank reserve liquidation seems to contradict the reason why these reserve were created at all.

Appropriations to this reserve are created as a result of solvency and benchmarking requirements, supported by the need to secure the ability of banking institutions to service their debt at maturity in a period of economic distress. There are no surplus stocks held by bankers, which is simply too costly. Member States shall maintain sufficient levels of compliance with the rules and comply with their domestic and supervisory responsibilities.

Briefly, they have no surplus reserve. Therefore, the obvious contradictory signs from the Japan Reserve may confuse the markets. Determination of the appropriate levels of income in relation to equity, cash and financing will lead to a slight adjustment in operating expenses, but it is doubtful that a 0.1% burden on deposit is in itself sufficient to promote the use of reserve assets as part of a "tool kit" introduced to secure banks' financial soundness.

Pending the banks' ability to overcome infrastructure failures, these extra charges levied by the CB, which are more likely to reflect the value of short-term liquid assets (which in turn reflect the market's need for longer-term liquidity), will eventually impose an extra burden on the Bank's client portfolio.

This could therefore by no means promote the allocation of currency into the business sector, but lead to a further restriction. Bank of Japan's ruling follows the example of the European Central Bank (ECB) to impose adverse interest rates in June 2014. Low economic development is a problem of a worldwide nature, and Japan is just the next nation to face this predicament, as the solar energy seems to be setting over the concept of a favourable interest rates for the time being!

It is also evident that they are the unintentional result of extensive and non-regulated exposure, i.e. exposure outside the bank system. Ultimately, there is no simple response to stimulating economic stagnation, but in this way we can perhaps create a new irregular GL exposure without fully tackling the prior crises.

Deposit charges may seem part of the answer at first glance, but in fact they drive up the cost in the "safer" bank setting or promote transfers of risks to other locations.
