This is the bottom line

QE and low interest rates inacted by national governments for selfish reasons will keep house prices rising and only when a global treaty to do otherwise will this growing asset boom stop.

... and that's never going to happen easily because the low interest rebel govements always benefit directly from not towing the line.

The internanatimal community tried to agreee to print less money already and it didn't work, just watch it keep failing especially as we enter a new period of less government unions and more protectionist governments ...

Its the political class living in central London thinking everywhere is like central London.

Oh house prices and stocks have boomed its so unfair, only the reality is both are down on a decade ago in real terms

Oh interest rates are too low this is unsustainable and an emergency measure which needs to go. Only the economy should move to lower and lower real rates. Any rate above 0% is unsustainable long term
