Negative interest rate mortgages have arrived. In Denmark

This means you get paid to take a mortgage by that particular bank!? This happening before ECB's QE of 1.5 trillion euros starting in March?? Dead mortgage market as deflation bites.

The deflation in euroland is just getting started! Negative interest rates will be hanging around for a while as euroland CBs fight their all to see off deflation by creating inflation; by whatever means necessary!

Is euroland about to experience Zimbabwe like current deflation? @cde what u say?

As an ordinary Kenyan, the concept of negative interest rate mortgage is very hard to grasp. Sounds like a script from a financial fiction movie.

@hisah. Looks like a EUR for USD swap prep. for global funds. Fed hikes, Euro's flow that way. @whiteowl, I see you. Kila mtu angehama...

As for Zim, things are really thick! As our co-CB said, 'patience' (FOMC) as we embark on a, I don't know, ZTARP?

The 'inflation?' 'deflation?' dynamics for Zim are multi-facet. A lot of stuff still comes from Mzansi so USD/ZAR pair is a large determinant.

Also, the issue of divisibility (hence the Bond Coins). When you have biz rounding goods/services up to the nearest USD things get artificially expensive.

By this time I expected that mobile money would solve divisibility. Is it a penetration issue? Also, the distribution of money or as we called it, 'the velocity of money'. Probably they can complement better with the Bond Coins.

Fed hike will surely wreak havoc to dollarized economies. Hope RBZ has mechanics in place to survive that shock USD spike - liquidity will be vapourized.

Two weeks to Nigeria's general election and on valentine's day to boot! On the other hand the Nigeria 10yr eurobond (2023) fans are not in a valentine mood. The yields have spiked above 7% and will definitely surpass 8%. Meanwhile ghana's 10yr eurobond (2024) yield is headed past 10%. Oil panic central...
