Richard, I used to keep a spreadsheet with the various credit levels vs. GDP. (government, consumer, corporate, financial system etc..) I haven't updated them in over a year. Now I intend to just glance at the flow of funds statements once a year to see if anything surprising is going on. There's no question that the credit levels relative to GDP exploded in the 80s. It leveled off for awhile after that but I think it's picking up again. Financial system credit exploded in the 90s. I'm still on the fence about the significance of that other than it adds some risk. One of the reasons I stopped paying so much attention to it is that I'm highly suspect of all the government data, especially GDP. There's too much not counted and a lot of controversy in the areas that are. Here's the flow of funds link: bog.frb.fed.us Wayne
