55 Risks and Policy Challenges: Exit Strategy (1) It is essential that the Governments and the Monetary Authorities specify and clarify promptly their commitment to adopt and implement an effective exit strategy from the policy detours that have resulted in an extremely rapid and non-sustainable rates of monetary and fiscal expansions. A Failure to do so, will deepen the markets loss of confidence and trust in policy makers and in their policy strategy and will delay the improvement of the functioning of the economic and financial systems. AIG 56

56 Risks and Policy Challenges(2) A Failure to drain and absorb in a timely manner the huge amounts of liquidity that were injected by Central Banks, will result in Inflation, will erode the credibility of Central Banks, and might bring rise to political attempts to restrict the independence of Central Banks. AIG 57

57 Risks and Policy Challenges(3) The huge increase in budget deficits induce a rapid increase in the size of the public debt. A Failure to restore budgetary discipline will worsen this undesirable trend. It will necessitate the imposition of higher taxes, as well as a greater reliance on government borrowing which, in turn, is likely to result in higher real rates of interest. Such developments are typically associated with a heightened degree of uncertainty and are likely to have adverse consequences for investment and growth. AIG 58

58 Risks and Policy Challenges(4) The increased Government ownership of financial institutions poses significant challenges to the appropriate Governance of these institutions. It also sends confusing signals as to the the government intentions about their own role in the economic/financial systems. AIG 59

59 Risks and Policy Challenges(5) Protectionism Slow Regulatory Reform AIG 60
