Jeroen Blokland: Pension and banking crises show deeper financial risks
Deeper look at pension and banking crises

Jeroen Blokland draws attention to common misconceptions about financial crises involving pension funds and banks.

He urges readers to look beyond the idea that falling liabilities offset risk, referencing the U.K. pension and liability-driven investment (LDI) crisis, the U.S. regional banking crisis, and past financial events.

Blokland recently noted that the ISM Manufacturing index rose to 55.6, its highest in over four years. He has also reported that Japan's top four insurers face nearly $100 billion in paper losses on government bonds. Both themes reflect ongoing attention to financial pressures in different sectors.
