What has fueled this?
■ Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke: “A global savings glut.”
■ Mercantilist trade policies depress value of foreign currencies
relative to the dollar
- Encouraging U.S. consumerism
- Discouraging U.S. savings
- Depressing U.S. industrial production and exports
■ Result: Huge capital transfers from emerging to mature economies
- Causing run-up in asset prices
9
What are the results?
■ Massive capital transfers from emerging to mature economies
■ Easy debt, excessive leverage, lax discipline by lenders and
investors (e.g., example of residual values)
■ Causing huge bubbles in asset prices, including residential and
commercial real estate
■ Over-leveraged financial institutions catastrophically vulnerable to
pricing corrections

IMPACT ON THE FINANCIAL SECTOR

The market has its challenges…
• There is a crisis of confidence and a perception that markets
haven’t “bottomed out” – stalling any material sales activity.
• Absence of available debt is severely reducing the pool of capable
buyers.
• Properties with assumable financing, or with available seller
financing, and reasonable remaining term (minimum three years)
fare better .
• Foreign investors, once looking at the U.S. as a safe haven for real
estate capital, face similar if not more severe credit issues.
