Interest rates must go up… but that must also be compensated eliminating the distortions of bank regulations.

Sir I refer to Sam Fleming’s “Fed loses ‘patience’ and opens way to first rate rise in a decade” March 19. All the hullaballoo, by so many actors, around the Fed’s intentions, as if it was all up to the Fed to make the economy work, is just mind-blowing. 

I have no doubt interest rates should be increased, considerably, because rates lower than what the authorities are targeting the inflation rate, in your face, isn’t natural, in any financial market.

But, in order for that not to cause excessive recessionary impact, absolutely all the regulatory discrimination against the fair access of “the risky” to bank credit needs to be eliminated.

Please regulators, let the SMEs, the entrepreneurs, the start-ups ride to the rescue of our real economy, before its too late... these "risky" borrowers never ever caused a major bank crisis... as bankers are more than enough scared of their credit risk. 

How? There are different options… here is a link to one I suggested for Europe.
