Balance Sheet Outlook

Global central bank balance sheets show diverging trends as monetary policies adjust to local conditions. The Fed and ECB continue gradual QT, with Eurozone contractions (Germany -1.8%, Spain -5.0%) offsetting Austria's 6.6% expansion. Emerging markets are mixed: Brazil (+5.2%) and China (+8.0%) expand, while Argentina's 16.3% surge reflects peso instability. Switzerland (+8.7%) and Czechia (+12.1%) lead advanced economy growth, likely supporting liquidity. Australia (-9.7%) and Canada (-5.0) show aggressive tightening. The UAE (-3.6%) mirrors oil exporters' caution. Overall, DM liquidity is tightening methodically, while EM expansion persists where growth risks outweigh inflation. Watch China's 8% growth for potential EM spillovers as PBoC remains accommodative amid property sector stress.
