KKR Releases “Spotlighting 2016’s Great Debates” by Henry McVey
March 8, 2016New Macro Outlook Piece Highlights Key Views that Diverge from Consensus
Specifically, “Spotlighting 2016’s Great Debates” focuses on the following views:
1. Looking through the lens of nominal GDP rather than real GDP, we see much slower growth for business operators.
2. China’s currency dilemma is primarily linked to its capital account,
not its current account. Even with a strong currency in recent years,
3. Non-traditional monetary policy, negative deposit rates in particular, could now be a headwind, not a tailwind, for risk assets.
4. Oil will likely remain in a bear market as long as supply continues to outpace demand, which we suspect will remain the case throughout most of 2016.
