Lena Komileva was one of the very first economists to draw the link between a systemic regime change in global market dynamics, credit multipliers in real economies, recession risk and the central bank response in early After accurately calling the end of the Fed tightening cycle in response to subprime stresses in February , months ahead of the consensus, she wrote about the “impending credit crunch” on 1 June , as stress signals from US subprime securitisation sectors reached European bond market volatility gauges, accurately predicting the balance sheet risk transmission from debt to equity markets and the collapse of the FX carry trade over the weeks that followed.

By January , her economic model showed 85% probability that the US was already in a recession – twelve months before the National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) confirmed it.

As “dislocated money markets” – a term that Lena coined in the summer of - defied central banks’ short term liquidity stabilisation measures – Lena’s article in FX Week in March , arguing that the disconnect between elevated emerging market asset valuations and riskier developed market credit impulses was unsustainable, became a prophesy for the steady rise and dispersion of market volatility in the summer of This ultimately culminated with the collapse of Lehman and the nationalisation of US mortgage markets in , and the start of a new era of central bank policy making that centred on balance sheet size, market liquidity risk premia and deflation tail risk probability management, over traditional rate and inflation targeting.

For the past decade, Lena’s early “lower for longer” calls on market rates, against repeated consensus calls for early tightening from the Fed, the ECB and the BoE in the years between and , preceded the steady flattening of the US and European core government bond yield curves.

In recent years, Lena has repeatedly warned that the decoupling between the US business and financial cycle is harbouring distortions in US and global risk asset pricing, with significant consequences for the economic risk cycle.

Her early calls on market policy mispricing and peak cycle dynamics over the course of , and in particular her call that US 10yr yields are unjustifiably low in August , have resonated strongly with the shift in the global policy tide over the past year and the return of market volatility in
