Low interest rates mechanically offer more policy room and consensus is that governments should make full use hereof to combat the headwinds from the Covid-19 crisis; even in those countries with already high debt levels. A lively debate is already emerging as to whether, this time, higher public debt will come with higher inflation. Non-financial corporations are also set to see debt levels increase from often high starting points and even prior to the crisis this was a source of concern. Question is whether the 2020 crisis will mark a turning point that will see capital favoured over debt, and what this could mean both for real investment and financial asset prices.
