BIS on how important central bank easing has been
Central bankers all acknowledge in private that low rates are like rocket fuel for asset prices; this is considered a key transmission channel for monetary policy.
But few will admit in public that they are responsible for this summers stock market surge, either because they do not want to create a "put" for the markets, or get blamed for increasing wealth inequality or become scapegoats if a bubble pops. Or all three.
