Understanding Fiscal Dominance
Fiscal dominance represents a paradigm shift in how money is created within an economy, primarily emerging when annual government fiscal deficits exceed the sum of new bank loan creation. This inversion from the previous monetary dominance era indicates that traditional central banking tools may lose effectiveness as central banks attempt to control inflation. In the past, money supply growth largely stemmed from bank lending fueled by household credit demands, while today, monetized fiscal deficits play a more significant role. The consequence is a structural change where investors need to recognize that expansive fiscal policies can maintain inflationary pressure and create a confusing environment where typical market reactions may not apply.
