Dallas Fed President Robert Kaplan said Tuesday in an essay that regulators should monitory the level, growth and credit quality of corporate debt.
Government regulators should be vigilant about the level, growth and credit quality of corporate debt because those factors could dampen the ability of companies to invest and spend and amplify the severity of any slowdown in economic growth, Dallas Fed President Robert Kaplan said Tuesday.
A number of studies have concluded this level of credit could “potentially amplify the severity of a recession,” he noted. “In the event of a downturn, highly indebted companies may be more vulnerable to seeing their credit quality deteriorate, which could negatively impact their capital spending and hiring plans,” Kaplan said.
