Market bubbles undermine monetary
policy -expert

By Isabelle Clary

ANNANDALE-ON-HUDSON, N.Y., April 21 (Reuters) -
Financial assets inflation, or market ''bubbles,'' undermines
monetary policy because businesses enjoy easy access to capital
outside of the banking system and are little affected by benchmark
interest rates, a senior economist said on Wednesday.

''Capital market inflation undermines the effectiveness of central banks' attempts to control the liquidity in the banking system and to maintain ... short-term interest rates as an instrument of
domestic economic policy,'' Jan Toporowski, a professor of economics at South Bank University in London, told a Jerome Levy Economics Institute conference on the global financial crisis.

While Toporowski did not specifically comment on the U.S. economy or on Federal Reserve policy, he stressed that financial assets inflation lies at the heart of today's era of finance and is the most potent symbol of the revival of private enterprise.''

''The resulting overcapitalization of companies leads to increased fragility of banking and undermines monetary policy and stable relationships between short- and long-term interest rates,'' Toporowski also told the conference on ''Structure, Instability and the World Economy.''
