Course overview
A new era of fiscal dominance is reshaping global markets as record debt levels and rising borrowing costs constrain central bank independence. This essay explores how U.S. political pressure, UK gilt stress, German fiscal challenges, and Japan’s yield curve control illustrate systemic risks.

Drawing on insights from Kenneth Rogoff and Ray Dalio, it outlines frameworks for modeling debt sustainability, analyzing yield curves, and pricing political economy risks. The implications extend across fixed income, equities, currencies, and alternatives, demanding that investors rethink traditional assumptions about monetary policy, credibility, and the future of sovereign risk.
