Two undesirable and yet seldom-discussed effects of highly expansionary monetary policies

The highly expansionary monetary policies conducted in OECD countries have two important undesirable effects: They reduce potential growth, b y channelling savings into unproductive uses (money, real estate, zombie firms, current fiscal deficits); they weaken banks and therefore credit supply; In distorting asset prices, they eliminate the information about the future (growth, risks, etc.) that is normally contained in asset prices, leading also to an inefficient allocation of savings.
