Due to the current economic crisis, central banks around the world are buying up assets in record amounts — many times greater than what was seen during the 2008 Great Recession.

The Federal Reserve’s balance sheet is changing by the day as it buys up assets. However, it’s not alone. All central banks of major developed nations are buying more and more in an attempt to keep their economies afloat.

Central Banks’ Asset Buying Spree

The central banks of the ‘Group of Seven’ countries, in total, purchased some $1.4 trillion in financial assets in March. That’s a little less than five times as much as they did during the Great Recession in 2008.

As Morgan Stanley analysts told Bloomberg, the Fed, Central European Bank, Bank of Japan, and Bank of England will have a cumulative $6.8 trillion in assets when this is over. The spike has been nothing short of extraordinary — and it demonstrates just how is being done in desperate attempts to help their economies while in lockdown.

However, once the dust settles, there are concerns now that this may come back to haunt developed nations. According to Deutsche Bank’s Torsten Slok, “We just have to get used to a new world where central bank balance sheets are so much bigger.”

Playing with Fire

As BeInCrypto has reported repeatedly, the fiscal actions being taken worldwide are unprecedented. Increasingly, states are relying on central banks rather than fiscal measures to boost economies. On April 9, the U.S. Fed committed $2.3 trillion in stimulus and more is likely on the way.

However, despite the Fed claiming that there is an “infinite amount of cash,” the music has to stop eventually. During a deflationary spiral caused by a steep drop in global demand, economies cannot be propped up by deficit spending and money-printing alone.

What the asset-buying by central banks seems to indicate that the current crisis is far more serious than 2008 ever was.

Central banks and the IMF are not only hoping for a ‘V-shaped’ recovery — they are depending on it. If the recession looms for many years, however, these short-term efforts to buy up assets may be followed up with disastrous consequences.

BTC, ETH And BCH Owned In Huge Amounts By Members Of The White House

Within the United States, members of Congress and other authorities are starting to be required to account for and declare their digital assets. This is a little bit of a paradox in that cryptocurrency was designed to challenge government control, yet in this scenario, we are seeing members of one of the world’s most powerful governments declare their crypto assets, on a frankly colossal scale.
