ABC and German Chamber: What higher Fed Rates mean for the Eurozone and Asia

2015/9/14

Dr. Jörg Krämer, Chief Economist of Commerzbank, highlights what this could mean for the Eurozone and Asia. The ECB will do everything to shield the sluggish euro-zone economy from higher US rates – especially as many of the monetary union’s underlying problems remain unsolved as demonstrated by the ongoing Greek crisis. For Asia, a tightening of the US monetary policy means that external funds are less easily available. Downside risks also stem from the fact that private sector debt had risen markedly in recent years. Dr. Krämer will also give his perspective for bond yields and currencies.
