Even if their nominal returns are negative, they must defer to safety.

At some point, the yields on bonds and mortgages will be high enough that investors appetite for yield will balance their fear of exchange rate depreciation.

After 2005, Argentina maintained debt service on the new bonds.

And, in Japan, ten year yields are below 0.4 .

Greece is also the canary in the coal mine for the euro zone, where all the PIIGS economies (Portugal, Italy, Ireland, Greece, and Spain) suffer from the twin problems of public debt sustainability and external debt sustainability. Euro accession and bull market convergence trades pushed bond yields in these countries toward the level of German bunds, with the ensuing credit boom supporting excessive consumption growth.

(Shiller bonds, in theory, pay more when a country s economy is growing and less when it is in recession.)

Indeed, the interest rate on inflation protected bonds has now become 0.5 , even for a five year maturity!

That predictable dollar decline makes the relative return on holding dollar bonds even lower than the interest rate differential alone implies.

It has also driven up corporate savings, because firms earnings are growing faster than household income and (and, for that matter, faster than overall GDP).

Relative to German bonds, the spreads in February of secondary market yields of government bonds with maturities of close to ten years were 141 basis points for Italy, 257 for Greece, and 252 for Ireland, compared to just 32, 84, and 25 basis points, respectively, in 2000.
