Moral hazard. Zombie debt. What? It seems some economists have been whipping through a thesaurus in their efforts to describe what&#8217;s going on with the economy. Of course, all the colourful jargon we&#8217;ve been hearing lately doesn&#8217;t always make it easier to understand the markets if you&#8217;ve never heard it before. To help you make sense of it all, we started with 13 finance terms worth knowing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><b>Zombie debt<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A debt you owe may be forgotten or simply ignored by its original creditors. (Crazy, but it happens!) That old credit card balance or unpaid telephone bill can become <i>zombie debt <\/i>when someone motivated enough to try and collect it, like a collection agency, resurrects it. Canadians, who carry some of the highest consumer debt levels in the world, are at higher risk of getting bit these days as delinquencies climb.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><b>The Bank of Mom and Dad<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Canadian real-estate prices have been at their least affordable for a while now, yet houses keep flying off the market. What gives? Recent reports and commentary suggest that <i>the<\/i> <i>Bank of Mom and Dad<\/i> \u2013 that is, financial support from the family \u2013 may be a key part of the equation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Upcrash<\/strong><b><\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Markets took off like a shot after initially tanking in the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic, a recent example of an <em>upcrash<\/em>, a sudden, and often sustained, rally in a stock&#8217;s price or the overall market can occur when investor optimism suddenly returns after a period of negativity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><b>Wall of fear<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There&#8217;s a saying in investing that \u201cbull markets climb a <em>wall of fear<\/em>&#8221; (or sometimes a \u201cwall of worry&#8221;). The phrase suggests that after the initial euphoria of a market upswing wears off, investors may start feeling increasingly fearful of an impending correction, downturn or crash \u2013 whether one is just around the corner or not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><b>Slowbalization<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kind of the opposite of globalization, <i>slowbalization <\/i>refers to the slowdown (or reversal, depending on who you ask) of global trade following the financial crisis of 2008. International tensions have led to nations trading among regional groups of allies rather than globally, which is at least one of the reasons we experienced those pandemic-induced supply chain snarls a while back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><b>Risk on\/risk off<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When economists talk about <em>risk on<\/em> or <em>risk off<\/em>, they&#8217;re broadly referring to how investors feel about the markets. For example, when investors are optimistic about the markets and buying into higher-risk stocks and commodities, it&#8217;s \u201crisk on.&#8221; When times are tough and investors start eyeing the exits for less-risky bonds or cash, it&#8217;s \u201crisk off.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Hawkish pause<\/strong><b><\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a period marked by increase after increase to interest rates, it can be hard to remember that Canadian and U.S. central banks did signal a brief pause in their fight against rising inflation. Economists called this a <i>hawkish pause<\/i> \u2013 a holding pattern that left the door open for more hikes in the future. And leave the door open they did: We&#8217;re officially on hike number nine here in Canada, if you&#8217;re still counting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><b>Moral hazard<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Earlier this year, scads of U.S. regional banks courted failure after interest-rate hikes exposed their financial mismanagement. Rather than let all of them fail, however, the U.S. Fed bailed them out. Some critics suggested that such bailouts could create a <em>moral hazard<\/em>, the idea<i> <\/i>that saving someone from the consequences of their actions will encourage them to take even bigger risks in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The &#8216;flations\u2026 and all &#8216;cessions, too<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Something we&#8217;ve noticed about economists is that they simply love putting their own spin on classic finance terms. That&#8217;s how you get so many words for inflation. You&#8217;ve probably heard these lately:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<section class=\"wp-block-rbc-section-block  pos-rel\" style=\"border-radius:0px\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-rbc-section-inner-block  section-inner pad-b-0\" style=\"border-radius:0x\">\n<p><strong>Funflation:&nbsp;<\/strong>Interest rates keep climbing, but inflation seems stickier than a melted ice cream cone. Some economists theorize that a recent surge in spending on fun-but-expensive experiences like concerts and vacations could be a significant contributor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Shrinkflation<\/strong><strong>:&nbsp;<\/strong>Smaller box, same price \u2013 that\u2019s your favourite cereal brand on shrinkflation. Many manufacturers quietly reduce package sizes without lowering prices as a way of dealing with rising inflation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Stagflation:&nbsp;<\/strong>An unfortunate mix of slow economic growth, along with high levels of inflation and unemployment. Usually, these three economic forces don\u2019t happen together\u2026 but have we mentioned how weird the economy\u2019s been?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Economists have also mastered ways of avoiding the dreaded \u201cR\u201d word. While a \u201ctechnical\u201d recession is your textbook label for two consecutive quarters of negative growth in real GDP terms, some others worth knowing these days include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Richcession:<\/strong>&nbsp;A recession also affecting the wealthy, as opposed to mainly middle and lower earners who usually bear the brunt of a slowing economy. Job losses in high-powered industries (like those we\u2019ve seen in tech) and wage stagnation can lead to one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Cardboard box recession:<\/strong>&nbsp;Fewer goods flying off store shelves means less packaging required \u2013 that\u2019s a cardboard box recession in a nutshell. Firms cut back on packaging purchases when they anticipate slowing demand. That in turn can indicate a slowdown in manufacturing, which has historically preceded recessions in the U.S.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n<section class=\"wp-block-rbc-rbc-legal-collapsible disclaimer\" aria-label=\"Legal Disclaimers\"><div class=\"section-inner\"><p><button class=\"collapse-toggle collapsed\" data-target=\"#collapseDisclaimer\" data-toggle=\"collapse\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"collapseDisclaimer\" data-dig-id=\"LP-58096-6c5e0825\" data-dig-category=\"LP\" data-dig-action=\"legal close\" data-dig-label=\"legal close\" action-closed=\"legal close\" action-opened=\"legal open\" label-close=\"legal open\" label-open=\"legal close\"><span>Disclaimers<\/span><span>Disclaimers<\/span><\/button><\/p><div class=\"collapse-content collapse\" id=\"collapseDisclaimer\"><div class=\"collapse-inner\"><div class=\"table-wpr\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-rbc-rbc-disclaimer-block\"><div class=\"table-row\" id=\"legal-1\"><div class=\"table-cell\"><span class=\"offscreen\">Legal Disclaimer<\/span><sup><\/sup><\/div><div class=\"table-cell\">\n<p><em>The material in this articleis intended as a general source of information only, and should not be construed as offering specific tax, legal, financial or investment advice.
