He used catchwords like "conundrum" but cut interest rates slowly, at 25 bps each time and watched the bubble grow.Lekhnihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12898770208146949121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9818962.post-31367785390624809642007-12-03T22:02:00.000+05:302007-12-03T22:02:00.000+05:30This is going to sound wierd (as in how the heck d...This is going to sound wierd (as in how the heck did this guy get from this post to these questions)<BR/><BR/>But what the hell, you sound like someone interested in these kinda things, so here goes...<BR/><BR/>Do Fed Banks or Reserve Bannks or Central Banks or Finance Ministers (or all) look at real estate prices and currency exchange rates and factor them into their policy decisions? (since that would have probably helped out the subprime/dollar weaknening stuff going on)<BR/><BR/>And if they do, in a country like India, how do you factor in diverse growth rates and pressure points into your policy? (I'm sure the impact of policy on different areas/socio-econoic classes is a factor even in developed counrties, but seems to me like the disparity and hence the difference in magnitude of impact is more severe in a country like ours....)<BR/><BR/>Does that question even make sense or does it sound more obtuse than a straight line?SKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10613707108890196609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9818962.post-21078273379350503252007-12-02T10:33:00.000+05:302007-12-02T10:33:00.000+05:30Would be interesting to know how much of this is e...Would be interesting to know how much of this is explained by hindsight bias.raohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04037336114588548101noreply@blogger.com
