¿ø¹®: Roubini, Zandi:
Mortgage defaults as economic therapy by
Howard Schneider
The Washington Post (http://voices.washingtonpost.com/political-economy/2010/09/default_on_your_mortgage_--_fo.html#more)
¡¡
Top economists
Nouriel Roubini and Mark Zandi took the stage at
an International Monetary Fund conference room
on Friday and presented a novel spin on the
mortgage defaults still plaguing the home
industry: they may be "therapeutic." Instead of
letting the housing market continue to bleed out
slowly for years to come, they should be
accelerated so that home prices and household
equity can start to recover, Roubini and Zandi
said.
The banks "can
digest it," after a period in which the major
financial institutions have raised new capital
and strengthened their balance sheets, said
Zandi, head of Moody's Analytics.
Roubini went
further, proposing a massive, nationwide
mortgage writedown instead of clogging bank
offices and bankruptcy courts with case by case
renegotiations.
The U.S. economy,
Roubini said, won't recover until households
unburden themselves from excessive mortgage
debt. Roubini's suggestion: get it over with in
one fell swoop that would lower overall
household debt to a reasonable level, free up
cash currently going to mortgage payments, and
put families on a more secure financial footing.
Banks could even be protected, to some degree,
by warrants that would give them a share of the
profit in any eventual sale -- essentially a
forced conversion of mortgage debt into equity.
It was a bit of a
repeat performance at the IMF for Roubini, who
on the same stage in 2006 said the U.S. was
heading for a "hard landing" that would drag the
world down with it.
There was not much
good news Friday from "Dr. Doom."
The probability of a
double dip recession? Forty percent and rising,
he said.
Key risks? Not only do households need to shed
debt, but Greece, perhaps Ireland, and
eventually other countries are heading for a
default and there are fewer and fewer tools to
pick up the pieces. Between the various bailout
programs and other measures around the world,
Roubini said, debt and losses have been first
socialized onto government books, and then "supernationalized"
onto the books of the IMF and the European
Union.
If another calamity
hits, "there won't be someone from Mars coming
to bail out the IMF or the EU."
