Why Government interventions will prevent a Depression Guy Lion As of October 23, 2008 The New Financial Order may have changed by the very next day 
A bit of history…  Why the Great Depression occurred?  It was because of very bad Government intervention…  Almost 50% of banks failed.
How to cause a Depression:  1929–1933 Case study
How to cause a Depression (in details):  1929–1933 Case study
1929: Really bad policies and vicious feedback loops ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
How to spread a Depression globally After WWI, Germany was burdened with crippling Reparation debt to the Allies.  The Allies owed the U.S. for financing their military operations.  The Allies relied on Germany’s WWI Reparation debt repayment to repay the U.S.  Germany depended on U.S. loans and export earnings to repay WWI Reparation debt. Under the Gold Standard, the U.S. restrictive policies were transmitted overseas just as if foreign currencies were pegged to the $U.S.  The World economy and trade cratered.  Germany rescinded on the Reparation debt.  The Allies and Germany defaulted on many of their loans to the U.S.
Financial Pandemics: comparing 1929 vs the current situation During the Great Depression the virus was the Gold Standard framework that turned contagious due to the restrictive fiscal, monetary, and trade policies it triggered pretty much worldwide.  This time around, the virus is declining U.S. home price.  The associated contagion was triggered by the securitization of MBS and the resulting defaults and write downs of those same MBS.
How to prevent a Depression… Consumer spending Capital investments Government spending
Fiscal policy is  very  expansive ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
Monetary policy is  very  expansive ,[object Object],[object Object]
Federal Reserve lending is skyrocketing Federal Reserve lending has exploded from $189 billion on 9/10 to $937 billion on 10/08.  Lending to non-banks started in March 08 and now stands at $334 billion.  The near $1 trillion Fed lending is also instrumental in fending off a depression.
Scale of Government Intervention is unprecedented Although some line items are not fully comparable in stimulating effect, the current Government interventions scale is unprecedented. If FDR's New Deal bailed us out of the Great Depression by increasing Government spending from 3% to 9% of GDP, there is little doubt the current much larger coordinated Government interventions should prevent a depression. Also, the FDR New Deal kicked in slowly 4 years after the beginning of the Great Depression.  Meanwhile, the current set of Government interventions are pretty much preemptive.  Indeed, in the second quarter of 2008, GDP was still growing at 2.7% per annum.
Rendering Bank Runs much less likely over the next 3 years During the Great Depression, they did not have deposit insurance and  nearly 50% of banks disappeared.

A look at the Credit Markets Freeze
The Credit Markets Freeze Because banks’ capital is under stress from mortgage borrowers defaults, money market funds stopped buying banks short-term debt.  And, banks have stopped lending to each other (interbank market).  Additionally, when Lehman defaulted on its s/t debt it caused one money market fund’s net asset value to fall below $1.00.  This caused this same MMF to suffer the equivalent of a run-on-the-bank as it was entirely liquidated by its MMF investors within days.  Thus, credit markets have frozen (ice blue, all the dotted blue arrows reflect credit flows that have frozen).  As a result, banks have curtailed lending to corporations, small businesses, and households.
Interest Rates & Spreads.  They were cold… The financial crisis has caused a “flight to quality” as 3-mth T-bills yield have dropped close to 0% while other s/t rates have risen.  All spreads have risen dramatically from mid September till 10/10/08.
Curing the Credit Markets Freeze Notice that all the former blue dotted arrows denoting frozen credit market flows are now gone indicating those same credit market flows have been revived somewhat.
The Cure is  working.  Spreads not so wide (cold) anymore Over the past two weeks, all the curves are going in the right direction.  The “flight to quality” has abated as T-Bill yields have risen by almost 100 b.p.  The Interbank market has shown signs of life as the LIBOR spread over T-Bill has shrank from 457 b.p. to 253 b.p.  And, the Commercial Paper market is also in better shape.  Within a few months those spreads should decline to their normal level at less than 50 b.p.
Impact of the $250 billion Government equity injection in the banking industry The Government $250 billion equity injection could support $2.4 trillion in new lending while banks maintain their current Equity/Assets (10.4%) ratio.  This represents a 31% increase in lending capacity or 16.8% of GDP.
Just in case Credit Markets and Bank Lending do not fully recover, let’s explore the  overall  financial health of the borrowers and their ability to self-finance.
Leverage in the Economy is moderate Corporations have steadily “deleveraged” since the early 90s. Small business leverage has risen but is in line with corporations.  Households leverage has risen, but is very low at 0.26.
Corporations self–financing capacity is strong   Corporations ability to generate internal cash flow to finance capital expenditures + inventory purchases has remained strong through the first half of 2008.  The measure in blue includes dividends (negative cash flow component).  The measure in green excludes dividends.  As shown, corporations now can finance nearly 90% of cap. ex. and inventory internally.  And, if they cut dividends this % increases to over 130%.
Small business self financing capability is very strong As shown, the ratio of internal cash flow to [capital expenditures + inventory] steadily exceeds 200% since end of 1986.  In first half of 2008 it stands at over 350%.
The Myth of the overleveraged U.S. Household (HH)?! We already observed how HH Liabilities/Equity is very low. The financial obligation ratio (FOR) is the most inclusive measure of HH debt servicing capacity.  In the numerator, it includes all debt (mortgages, consumer loans) plus auto leases, rents, homeowners’ insurance, and property tax.  The denominator consists in Disposable Personal Income. Notice how the renters FOR has steadily declined since 2001.  It is now very low at 25.6%. And, the homeowners FOR is even lower at 18.8%.
Foreclosures in perspective… The press focuses on the “explosive growth in foreclosure” mentioning that the foreclosure rate (% of homes entering foreclosures) has nearly doubled between the 2Q of 2008 vs the same quarter last year.  That sounds much more catastrophic than stating that the foreclosure rate has increased from 0.30% of homes to 0.56% of homes. This foreclosure rate is illustrated by the green line.  The black line is a static balance sheet concept that indicates at any one point the % of homes in foreclosure at the time.  The value in the current quarter equals the value in the previous quarter plus the homes entering foreclosure during the quarter (green line) minus the homes exiting foreclosure or resold to a new homeowner (not shown on the graph).
The Positive side of Foreclosures…  Homes are becoming more affordable. NAR Housing Affordability Index = Median Family Inc./Qualifying Inc. times a 100. Qualifying income = Yearly Mortgage/0.25 (Debt/Income ratio) assuming a 20% downpayment. The NAR Housing Affordability Index shows that homes are becoming more affordable as Median Family Income has risen rapidly from 106.1% of Qualifying Income to buy a Median priced home in 2006 to 125.0% in 2008 Q2.  This increase in home affordability can be expected to increase over the next few quarters as home prices may remain under some pressure.
Conclusion: a Depression is very unlikely because… ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
Appendix A:  Government assisting commercial banks in resolving their residential real estate risk.
Banking exposure to residential real estate The commercial banking industry total exposure to residential real estate is $2.224 trillion as of June (FDIC data) excluding Agency MBS since the Agencies have been nationalized.  The commercial banking industry capital cushion consists mainly of $1.155 trillion in equity (as of 6/30).  After deducting goodwill, this results in a Tier I Capital of $819.9 billion which is equal to 7.2% of assets.  This is pretty high since the regulatory requirement is 5%.
Modeling the impact of the remaining $450 billion Government cushion vs real estate risk Relying on the FDIC data of the previous page, our short model uses one driving assumption: Home Value to Loan (VTL).  We assume this value is <100% and we stress it to see how low it could go before the banking industry would not meet its “Well capitalized” Tier I Leverage Ratio.  The answer is 65%.  $700 billion bail out less $250 billion equity injection in banks
Home price decline for banking industry Tier I Leverage < 5% To answer how much a decrease in home price corresponds to a VTL of 65%, you have to know what was the initial LTV ratio.  If you know that, you can calculate the decrease in home price as the VTL ratio is equal to 1/LTV. Given that the majority of the banking residential real estate exposure is associated with on-balance sheet-loans and not securities, the original LTV industry wide may be at the low end of the 80% to 100% range.  The resulting calculated decrease in home prices with moderate LTVs are large (greater than 40%). The remaining $450 billion in Government bail out should provide substantial assistance to the banking industry in dealing with writing down its residential real estate exposure.

Why we will not experience a Depression

  • 1. Why Government interventions will prevent a Depression Guy Lion As of October 23, 2008 The New Financial Order may have changed by the very next day 
  • 2. A bit of history… Why the Great Depression occurred? It was because of very bad Government intervention… Almost 50% of banks failed.
  • 3. How to cause a Depression: 1929–1933 Case study
  • 4. How to cause a Depression (in details): 1929–1933 Case study
  • 5.
  • 6. How to spread a Depression globally After WWI, Germany was burdened with crippling Reparation debt to the Allies. The Allies owed the U.S. for financing their military operations. The Allies relied on Germany’s WWI Reparation debt repayment to repay the U.S. Germany depended on U.S. loans and export earnings to repay WWI Reparation debt. Under the Gold Standard, the U.S. restrictive policies were transmitted overseas just as if foreign currencies were pegged to the $U.S. The World economy and trade cratered. Germany rescinded on the Reparation debt. The Allies and Germany defaulted on many of their loans to the U.S.
  • 7. Financial Pandemics: comparing 1929 vs the current situation During the Great Depression the virus was the Gold Standard framework that turned contagious due to the restrictive fiscal, monetary, and trade policies it triggered pretty much worldwide. This time around, the virus is declining U.S. home price. The associated contagion was triggered by the securitization of MBS and the resulting defaults and write downs of those same MBS.
  • 8. How to prevent a Depression… Consumer spending Capital investments Government spending
  • 9.
  • 10.
  • 11. Federal Reserve lending is skyrocketing Federal Reserve lending has exploded from $189 billion on 9/10 to $937 billion on 10/08. Lending to non-banks started in March 08 and now stands at $334 billion. The near $1 trillion Fed lending is also instrumental in fending off a depression.
  • 12. Scale of Government Intervention is unprecedented Although some line items are not fully comparable in stimulating effect, the current Government interventions scale is unprecedented. If FDR's New Deal bailed us out of the Great Depression by increasing Government spending from 3% to 9% of GDP, there is little doubt the current much larger coordinated Government interventions should prevent a depression. Also, the FDR New Deal kicked in slowly 4 years after the beginning of the Great Depression. Meanwhile, the current set of Government interventions are pretty much preemptive. Indeed, in the second quarter of 2008, GDP was still growing at 2.7% per annum.
  • 13. Rendering Bank Runs much less likely over the next 3 years During the Great Depression, they did not have deposit insurance and nearly 50% of banks disappeared.
  • 14.
  • 15. A look at the Credit Markets Freeze
  • 16. The Credit Markets Freeze Because banks’ capital is under stress from mortgage borrowers defaults, money market funds stopped buying banks short-term debt. And, banks have stopped lending to each other (interbank market). Additionally, when Lehman defaulted on its s/t debt it caused one money market fund’s net asset value to fall below $1.00. This caused this same MMF to suffer the equivalent of a run-on-the-bank as it was entirely liquidated by its MMF investors within days. Thus, credit markets have frozen (ice blue, all the dotted blue arrows reflect credit flows that have frozen). As a result, banks have curtailed lending to corporations, small businesses, and households.
  • 17. Interest Rates & Spreads. They were cold… The financial crisis has caused a “flight to quality” as 3-mth T-bills yield have dropped close to 0% while other s/t rates have risen. All spreads have risen dramatically from mid September till 10/10/08.
  • 18. Curing the Credit Markets Freeze Notice that all the former blue dotted arrows denoting frozen credit market flows are now gone indicating those same credit market flows have been revived somewhat.
  • 19. The Cure is working. Spreads not so wide (cold) anymore Over the past two weeks, all the curves are going in the right direction. The “flight to quality” has abated as T-Bill yields have risen by almost 100 b.p. The Interbank market has shown signs of life as the LIBOR spread over T-Bill has shrank from 457 b.p. to 253 b.p. And, the Commercial Paper market is also in better shape. Within a few months those spreads should decline to their normal level at less than 50 b.p.
  • 20. Impact of the $250 billion Government equity injection in the banking industry The Government $250 billion equity injection could support $2.4 trillion in new lending while banks maintain their current Equity/Assets (10.4%) ratio. This represents a 31% increase in lending capacity or 16.8% of GDP.
  • 21. Just in case Credit Markets and Bank Lending do not fully recover, let’s explore the overall financial health of the borrowers and their ability to self-finance.
  • 22. Leverage in the Economy is moderate Corporations have steadily “deleveraged” since the early 90s. Small business leverage has risen but is in line with corporations. Households leverage has risen, but is very low at 0.26.
  • 23. Corporations self–financing capacity is strong Corporations ability to generate internal cash flow to finance capital expenditures + inventory purchases has remained strong through the first half of 2008. The measure in blue includes dividends (negative cash flow component). The measure in green excludes dividends. As shown, corporations now can finance nearly 90% of cap. ex. and inventory internally. And, if they cut dividends this % increases to over 130%.
  • 24. Small business self financing capability is very strong As shown, the ratio of internal cash flow to [capital expenditures + inventory] steadily exceeds 200% since end of 1986. In first half of 2008 it stands at over 350%.
  • 25. The Myth of the overleveraged U.S. Household (HH)?! We already observed how HH Liabilities/Equity is very low. The financial obligation ratio (FOR) is the most inclusive measure of HH debt servicing capacity. In the numerator, it includes all debt (mortgages, consumer loans) plus auto leases, rents, homeowners’ insurance, and property tax. The denominator consists in Disposable Personal Income. Notice how the renters FOR has steadily declined since 2001. It is now very low at 25.6%. And, the homeowners FOR is even lower at 18.8%.
  • 26. Foreclosures in perspective… The press focuses on the “explosive growth in foreclosure” mentioning that the foreclosure rate (% of homes entering foreclosures) has nearly doubled between the 2Q of 2008 vs the same quarter last year. That sounds much more catastrophic than stating that the foreclosure rate has increased from 0.30% of homes to 0.56% of homes. This foreclosure rate is illustrated by the green line. The black line is a static balance sheet concept that indicates at any one point the % of homes in foreclosure at the time. The value in the current quarter equals the value in the previous quarter plus the homes entering foreclosure during the quarter (green line) minus the homes exiting foreclosure or resold to a new homeowner (not shown on the graph).
  • 27. The Positive side of Foreclosures… Homes are becoming more affordable. NAR Housing Affordability Index = Median Family Inc./Qualifying Inc. times a 100. Qualifying income = Yearly Mortgage/0.25 (Debt/Income ratio) assuming a 20% downpayment. The NAR Housing Affordability Index shows that homes are becoming more affordable as Median Family Income has risen rapidly from 106.1% of Qualifying Income to buy a Median priced home in 2006 to 125.0% in 2008 Q2. This increase in home affordability can be expected to increase over the next few quarters as home prices may remain under some pressure.
  • 28.
  • 29. Appendix A: Government assisting commercial banks in resolving their residential real estate risk.
  • 30. Banking exposure to residential real estate The commercial banking industry total exposure to residential real estate is $2.224 trillion as of June (FDIC data) excluding Agency MBS since the Agencies have been nationalized. The commercial banking industry capital cushion consists mainly of $1.155 trillion in equity (as of 6/30). After deducting goodwill, this results in a Tier I Capital of $819.9 billion which is equal to 7.2% of assets. This is pretty high since the regulatory requirement is 5%.
  • 31. Modeling the impact of the remaining $450 billion Government cushion vs real estate risk Relying on the FDIC data of the previous page, our short model uses one driving assumption: Home Value to Loan (VTL). We assume this value is <100% and we stress it to see how low it could go before the banking industry would not meet its “Well capitalized” Tier I Leverage Ratio. The answer is 65%. $700 billion bail out less $250 billion equity injection in banks
  • 32. Home price decline for banking industry Tier I Leverage < 5% To answer how much a decrease in home price corresponds to a VTL of 65%, you have to know what was the initial LTV ratio. If you know that, you can calculate the decrease in home price as the VTL ratio is equal to 1/LTV. Given that the majority of the banking residential real estate exposure is associated with on-balance sheet-loans and not securities, the original LTV industry wide may be at the low end of the 80% to 100% range. The resulting calculated decrease in home prices with moderate LTVs are large (greater than 40%). The remaining $450 billion in Government bail out should provide substantial assistance to the banking industry in dealing with writing down its residential real estate exposure.
