2018: The year of the “renationalisation” of financial markets

In 2018, there were equity and bond capital outflows from the United States , the euro zone (all the large euro-zone countries) and emerging countries. If non-residents are sellers of equities and bonds in virtually all countries, financial asset holdings are becoming more domestic: financial markets are being “renationalised”. This growing home bias has important implications: Lower international portfolio diversification reduces investment efficiency and risk mutualisation; But domestic ownership of financial assets probably reduces the risk of speculative attacks and crises; It should also reduce the correlation between financial asset prices in different countries.
