According to the IMF, global debt reached an all-time high in 2015; At $152 trillion, global gross debt of the nonfinancial sector now represents 225% of global GDP; About 2/3 of this debt is in the private sector; Current low nominal-growth environment is making adjustment difficult, setting the stage for a vicious feedback loop in which lower growth hampers deleveraging and the debt overhang exacerbates the slowdown. 2 Sources: 1.

The Closer Global economy remains weak, and correspondingly... ; Global money has continued to pour into America in search of yield and safety, including into commercial real estate that was particularly true in 2015, a bit less true in 2016; Inflationary pressures are on the rise so, too, are interest rates that could begin to squeeze asset prices in 2017, particularly if expected tax cuts are not passed into law; There are indications of minibubbles forming in commercial real estate, particularly in office, lodging and multifamily segments; But tax cuts, stimulus, and more defense spending should see us through 2017-18; There are also longer-term structural considerations, including the national debt and pending insolvencies of Medicare and Social Security the longerterm outlook may be deteriorating even as the short-run improves; 2017 shaping up to be solid, but beyond 2018, we may have some issues...
