Wall Street JournalGlobalisation under strain: Homeward bound A great financial retrenchment is under way, the product of both market forces and political pressure on banks to lend at home rather than abroad. In other industries (see article) globalisation looks harder to unpickAT THE annual pilgrimage to Davos last month, politicians were united in agreement: the biggest danger facing the world economy is protectionism. Many of the mountaintop sermons picked out the risk of financial mercantilism, a reflux of capital from foreign markets to home ones. Gordon Brown, Britain’s prime minister, preached against a “retreat into domestic lending and domestic financial markets”. But back in the real world the barriers to the free flow of capital are rising fast. Are the politicians hypocrites, toothless or misguided? A bit of all three.That a retrenchment in cross-border credit is under way is beyond doubt.

Yields tumbled last year partly because panicked investors jettisoned every other sort of fixed-income security, such as asset-backed bonds, corporate bonds, even the Treasury’s inflation-protected bonds, known as TIPS. Some tentative signs of healing in the credit markets suggest the panic has ebbed, and spreads between Treasury yields and more risky bonds have narrowed. ... EconomistCorporate finance: Triple trouble Are AAA ratings bad for firms’ health?JUST as straight-A students have been drawn to exotic areas of finance over recent decades, so have several firms with AAA credit ratings. General Electric (GE) relentlessly expanded its finance arm which handles everything from credit cards to property. American International Group (AIG) diversified from plain insurance into credit derivatives. And even Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway was tempted to write a book of equity-derivative contracts that has recently created a big mark-to-market liability in its accounts. Just as plenty of AAA banks have been taken to the cleaners, so these non-bank firms have suffered too. AIG is now state-controlled, after huge derivative losses. Standard & Poor’s (S&P) says GE now faces a one-in-three chance of losing its rating, which it has held since 1956, largely due to problems at its financial arm.
