AIG 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

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
