What are the consequences of the confidence crisis
for global economic growth?
 Market indicator changes comparable to situation at
end of spring 2010, some comparable even to the
previous crisis
 Uncertainty is already reflected in real economy
 The longer uncertainty prevails, the greater the
implications
SUOMEN PANKKI | FINLANDS BANK | BANK OF FINLAND
10
Channels for spread of crisis of confidence
to real economy
 Uncertainty leads to defensive behaviour
– More saving, consumption and investment both suffer
– Global interdependencies increase the repercussions
 Financing more costly and harder to get
– Equity finance more costly
– Longer-term debt finance also more costly
 Investments not made on the basis of bank loans
 Market-indicator-based probability of European
banking crisis has risen
– At worst, rumours become self-fulfilling

Risks to the forecast on the downside
 Forecast assumption: weakening of confidence comes to
a halt
– Heightened risk aversion fades
 If this not possible, the worst scenario:
– New global economic recession
– Broad-based banking crisis
 Factors affecting the severity of downside outcome
+
+
-
Corporate sector and bank balance sheets mainly satisfactory
Central bank liquidity windows are available
Economic policy room for maneuvre limited
Confidence in decision making under strain

Summary: How to get out of the crisis?
SUOMEN PANKKI | FINLANDS BANK | BANK OF FINLAND
24
How to get out of the crisis?
 Debt crisis in a new phase
– No longer a problem of individual countries
– Threat of a new global recession is real
 Capitalisation of financial institutions
– Confidence in financial institutions weakened
– Capitalisation the most effective way to restore confidence
– Primarily a task of shareholders
 Addressing uncertainty is pivotal
– Increased loss of confidence in Europe’s ability to handle the crisis
– Concrete measures essential
– Implementation of July 21 decisions crucial
