These banks then need to borrow less from the FLS. Consistent with the idea that the availability of central bank funding helps to rejuvenate private markets, measures of banks’ wholesale funding costs fell sharply after the FLS was announced.

and the benefits of the floor are overstated.

I find some of these arguments more compelling and less, and have balance them against the benefits (and costs) of the case for the floor.

Attached are some more elaborated comments from him in previous newsletters.

@orbinho.bsky.social been hearing this take and on an eyeball test I agree, but I wonder if there's a simple statistic or way of quantifying this? Non-Gyökeres goals when he is in is probably a bit too simple. Do data collectors have info on when players are double marked or how close defenders are?

I think its reasonable and that there is some evidence that low rates may contribute to financial fragility also. Big question imo is to what extent, how much does it depend on other variables, and what are the trade offs for growth, inflation, and other real outcomes.

I dont think its a completely proven fact, but there is both logic and empirical evidence to the idea that low rates may contribute to financial crises.

I have some sympathy for this view, but its a very delicate tightrope walk. Higher rates also reduce incomes and weaken balance sheets, which increase financial fragility.
