For ett ar sedan var omsattningen pa AB Riksbanken cirka hundra miljarder. I dag ett ar senare ar den over nastan 500 miljarder.

Har Riksbanken mer pengar att betala ut till bankerna?

Ja sager Stefan Ingves, riksbankschef. Eftersom riksbanken kan trycka hur mycket pengar som helst nar bankerna tar emot pengarna med vardepapper, ja da blir det ett noll-summespel som ej paverkar inflationen.

Grejen ar ju om de vardepapper som framfor allt SEB lamnat in som sakerhet (egna utgivna bostadsobligationer som ar osaljbara pa marknaden, bara Sveriges Riksbank tar emot dem) om detta garanterar att nytrykta pengar direkt riktade mot SEB ar den sakerhet svenska folket behover.

Det har lange fragats hur lange racker Riksbankens pengar.

- Hur lange som helst i alla evighet har Stefan Ingves forklarat pa Riksbankens hemsida.

Men nu borjar till och med China bli oroliga for att USA:s och Europas stimulering av ekonomin skall tas bort och vad som skall komma efter detta.

Jag citerar Bloombergs fran deras hemsida i dag (31 oktober 2009).

Oct. 31 (Bloomberg) – Chinese Commerce Minister Chen Demingwarned against withdrawing economic stimulus measures, citing the risk of another world slump.

“There are increasing signs that the global economy is heading in a positive direction, but there are still many uncertainties,” Chen said at a forum in Shanghai today. If countries “withdraw the stimulus measures now, the global economy will plunge.”

Billionaire investor George Soros said yesterday that the global economy’s recovery from its worst crisis in 70 years may “run out of steam” and another recession may follow in 2010 or 2011. U.S. stocks tumbled yesterday as declines in consumer confidence and spending and the threatened bankruptcy of commercial lender CIT Group Inc. underscored the risk of a slump.

“For the world as a whole, it’s premature to think about exiting stimulus,” Nobel Prize-winning economist Joseph Stiglitz said at the economic conference in Shanghai today.

While the worst of the crisis is over, challenges include high unemployment, weak investment and consumption, rising commodity costs and fluctuating currencies, Chen said. It will be difficult for consumption to return to pre-crisis levels, he added.
