Financial repression is basically when governments use certain tactics to take money from the private sector – like your pocket – to help reduce their debt and benefit themselves.
It’s when the government steals growth from the economy under what seems like legitimate reasons with subtle tools like zero interest rates and inflationary policies to knock down its own debts.
Some of the methods may actually be direct, such as outlawing the ownership of gold, limiting how much currency can be converted into foreign currency, and capital controls.
Others methods are more indirect, like allowing inflation to rise, eroding the value of money. This stealthy tax on savings benefited those with excessive debts while penalizing savers.
Examples of what financial repression:
FDR's Executive Order in 1933 – during the Great Depression – which outlawed gold ownership. The order forced U.S. citizens to turn in their gold coins, gold bullion, and gold certificates to the government. This effectively confiscated private gold holdings and forced individuals to hold depreciating U.S. dollars.
The taxation on Gold Ownership in the US which happened from the 1930s to 1970s. The U.S. government levied taxes on the ownership and sale of gold during much of the 20th century. This discouraged individuals from holding gold as an alternative store of value and encouraged them to use U.S. dollars.
Prolonged period of near-zero interest rates we saw in response to the 2008 financial crisis.
This zero interest rate policy promoted lending and investment by keeping borrowing costs low. However, this also had the effect of suppressing interest rates on savings accounts and other fixed-income instruments, reducing returns for savers, and pushing investors towards riskier assets. This policy indirectly benefited the government by lowering its debt service costs while it punished individual savers.
QE – or Quantitative Easing we saw from 2008-2014 is another example of financial repression.
