Issues
What form will regulation of financial sector take?
What will nonfinancial companies do? M&A or invest
And how much consumer retrenchment?
Can political structures cope with large public sector deficits?
Will global imbalances lead to protectionism. Or will we see more exchange rate adjustment?
China is more vulnerable than many realise because it has a debt problem too
![Page 6: What are the implications for public policy & business?](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062517/5681347b550346895d9b5bb4/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
What did banks do?
Banks would normally be wary of lending to someone whose liabilities were fifty times their net assets but they happily lent to each other on that basis – until, one day, they stopped

What does not need to happen
Controls on hedge funds etc
Limits on bonuses etc
A ban on naked CDSs etc
A long-term tax on banks
![Page 9: What are the implications for public policy & business?](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062517/5681347b550346895d9b5bb4/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
What does need to happen
Regulations that enable non-financial companies, consumers and governments to be insulated from a financial crisis.
And there area number of ways to achieve that
A year ago we proposed separating the utility function of banks from other activities
And we still think that is the most reliable way of succeeding as well as being something that many in finance should support
![Page 10: What are the implications for public policy & business?](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062517/5681347b550346895d9b5bb4/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
But unlikely to happen!
Likely to see much more messy structures that will differ across regions. Nothing on a global scale
![Page 11: What are the implications for public policy & business?](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062517/5681347b550346895d9b5bb4/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Section 2: What will companies do? Investment or M&A and how much?
![Page 12: What are the implications for public policy & business?](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062517/5681347b550346895d9b5bb4/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
What will companies do? The new normal?
Partial retreat from supply chain dispersion because of rising transport costs, worries about intellectual property?
Networks rather than hierarchies?
More cautious financial sector limits structural changes

Summary
Balance sheets and debt are at the root of the crisis and remain an issue for both finance and now governments
Companies are cash rich and will start to invest and to begin a new round of M&A soon but will remain cautious for some time
Consumers will continue to retrench but in US reform of lending laws will be critical
Imbalances are more of a problem with fixed exchange rates
China may be more vulnerable than many realise and once again debt could be the issue
