A Federal Reserve Finance and Economics Discussion Series working paper by Maximilian Grimm, Moritz Schularick, and Emil Verner examines the economic effects of financial liberalization using a new cross-country database covering 21 regulatory indicators for 18 advanced economies since World War II. The authors distinguish between liberalizations that directly relax credit supply constraints and broader financial reforms, finding that only the former produce significant boom-bust dynamics. Credit supply liberalizations lead to substantial expansions in private credit concentrated in non-tradable sectors, without accompanying rises in interest rates or credit spreads in the short run—consistent with an outward shift in credit supply. Real GDP rises over the following two to four years, but the gains are temporary, with GDP returning to trend in the medium run and an elevated risk of financial crisis and worse downside growth outcomes. The paper concludes that financial liberalization is welfare-improving only for coefficients of relative risk aversion below 7.2, described as a moderately high value. The paper is identified as FEDS 2026-034 and represents the views of the authors, not the Federal Reserve Board.
Keywords: financial liberalization, credit booms, financial crisis risk, banking regulation, credit supply, private credit expansion, regulatory policy, boom-bust cycles, financial stability, systemic risk

South Korea's benchmark consumer-price index rose 3.1% year-over-year in May, marking a 26-month high. According to the Wall Street Journal, the acceleration in inflation was driven by higher oil prices amid Middle East tensions and the South Korean won's weakness against the U.S. dollar.
Keywords: inflation, consumer price index, South Korea, oil prices, currency depreciation, won/USD exchange rate, monetary policy implications, geopolitical risk
This London Review of Books essay by John Lanchester reviews two books on money laundering: Oliver Bullough's Everybody Loves Our Dollars and How to Launder Money by George Cottrell and Lawrence Burke Files. The piece opens with the paradox that cash use has sharply declined in daily transactions—falling from 58% to 9% of UK transactions since 2009—yet the total value of banknotes in circulation has risen dramatically, with roughly $7,357 in US currency in circulation per American while the average American holds only $418. Lanchester argues, drawing on both books, that the gap is largely explained by criminal use, particularly money laundering. The article describes the Financial Action Task Force (FATF), established in 1989, as the primary global anti-money laundering body, but argues its regulatory approach—focused on transactions within the official financial system—fails to address most laundering, which occurs outside that system. Estimates of the total scale of money laundering range from 2% to 5% of global GDP, or roughly $2–5 trillion annually, which Lanchester notes would make it the world's third-largest industry. He details common laundering methods including cash-intensive businesses such as nail salons, casinos, and barbers, as well as lottery ticket purchases and art market manipulation. The article surveys proposed remedies, including eliminating high-denomination banknotes and redirecting compliance spending toward research. It also describes the UK as a significant hub for financial crime at both high and street levels, citing a report that up to half of some local retail businesses in certain areas are estimated to have links to organised crime. Lanchester concludes that governments largely fail to address money laundering because of institutional incuriosity, financial self-interest in seigniorage, and a genuine lack of understanding of the problem's scale.

The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) announced on June 1, 2026 that it is granting five whistleblower awards totaling more than $8 million to individuals whose information contributed to the successful resolution of an enforcement action against a fraudulent scheme. According to CFTC officials, the whistleblowers reported the fraud promptly after identifying it, and their assistance helped the agency complete the enforcement action and recover funds for defrauded investors. The CFTC did not disclose the specific enforcement action or individual award amounts, consistent with its confidentiality protections for whistleblowers. Since its first award in 2014, the CFTC Whistleblower Program has issued more than $430 million in total awards, associated with enforcement actions resulting in over $3.7 billion in monetary sanctions. The program, established under the Dodd-Frank Act, allows eligible whistleblowers to receive between 10 and 30 percent of collected sanctions, with all awards funded through the CFTC Customer Protection Fund.
