Before the interview, Andrew Wells speaks of great concern that it causes unemployment in Spain. With the conversation over, back to topic. Worldwide Fidelity Investments is one of the great managers in the world. Handles 240 379 000 dollars (about 178,300 million) in assets. And it is a voice that not only the economy radiography, but our time. So when Andrew Wells, its head of fixed income, said that inflation is a threat to Europe, the quality of emerging market debt is deteriorating, that Spanish bonds are maintained by the Bank's monetary policy Central Bank (ECB) or, eventually, Spain will have to ask the rescue, is talking about the present and the future of all.
Question. The Prime Minister, Mariano Rajoy, has said his reform progam begin to bear fruit this year. Too optimistic?
Response. I am very impressed with the reforms that have been implemented. Such statements referred to seem interesting because they go to the center of the problem: unemployment. They need to regain employment for youth. For that Spain has to be more efficient and structural reforms. Some are already moving in the right direction, but there is still a long way.
P. For many people, time is a threat. It does not.
R. It's true. But I will say that we are more optimistic with Spain than with France. There are less open to change. No doubt can be painful in the short term, but positive long.
P. This nascent recovery that should see, is credited with the monetary policy of the ECB or the reformist spirit of the Government?
R. It's a bit of both. What the ECB has to provide this liquidity is a way of supporting institutions and also point out how the risk was high. There is no doubt that the possibility that Spain can use the ECB to finance is a very positive thing. Falling volatility produces a climate in which it is easier to buy Spanish debt.
P. And how will this 2013 for the Spanish?
R. Is the big question. The question is whether this year will worsen the recession. We are seeing that the U.S. economy improves. The same goes for the Asian. But the key is Spain unemployment. How much more will rise before they get better? This is the unknown factor.
P. Another controversy. Should Spain ask the rescue?
R. Obviously, the best option is not to ask. The challenge is to be very, very hard not to because there are still problems in the Spanish banking system. Which will force the ECB intervention. Spain may have to request if the bond purchase policy slows.
"Right now inflation is a major global risks"
P. In this context, do you recommend acquire Spanish bonds?
R. We are reasonably positive. In the next three months will see a strong volatility given the opportunity to buy shares at a cheap price.
P. The German economy fell by 0.5%. Do you think you might have realized German Chancellor Angela Merkel, it is impossible to grow only with policies of cuts and adjustments?
R. Germany Europe needs grow. And the German government needs to boost domestic growth. Because otherwise the risk is to fall into a recession in Japan. And you have to keep this in mind: the Southern European countries will need German growth.
P. One reason why Germany does not open out to certain stimulus policies is inflation. Is it a real threat?
R. It is a major global risks. In the case of Europe, not in an immediate, but it's there. However, inflation has come to Asia and emerging countries. We'll see how the currency appreciates in certain local markets. Not least because interest rates remain low, and the United States. In Europe inflation is a story yet to be told. No doubt, in late 2013 and in 2014 prices will rise.
P. How sustainable is the huge U.S. deficit?
R. America is a tremendously rich company capital. It has high productivity and flexibility. We are seeing an increase in manufacturing output, a change in the taxation and even in its approach to the welfare state. All positive. We speak of an economy should not be underestimated. In addition, their companies participate in global growth, whether in Asia or Latin America. What we must avoid is that the bulky amount of debt is out of control.
P. But why, with that debt so enormous, the emissions rating is not affected?
"We are more optimistic with Spain than with France"
R. The sovereign ratings is an interesting topic. Can America meet its coupons and interests? Yes but it's great that the dollars with which the debt is returned increasingly worth less in real terms. With this policy of quantitative easing [injecting a lot of liquidity in the system] can promote medium-term inflation. So gold reaches such high levels: the only currency they can not print more tickets.
P. I mean, do not you see that the U.S. may suspend payments?
R. No. It could be a technical default, but not one involving essential that the Treasury can not meet its obligations.
P. But sometimes it seems that we are very close to the precipice.
R. Is American politics! It works. They reach the edge, but in the end always make the right decision. Everyone knows that the failure would be fatal also in terms of votes.
P. If the United States were not able to increase its debt ceiling, what are the real consequences?
R. I do not think are significant. It's only a number. But it can not grow indefinitely. They have to find a solution. There is a very telling statistic. In the last quarter of last year retail sales have been very strong. Facing the political noise, the economy is strong.
P. What about China? Soon, experts say, will become the world's largest economy.
R. China's GDP has strong growth potential. And I think we can give you a surprise. Against market consensus, which estimated to grow by 7% this year, we will reach 8%.
P. Do you think there has been a bubble in the bond?
R. Not yet. But bubbles do not have to be a problem. The enter key is not the end of the cycle, but at first. There are many opportunities. The U.S. 10-year bonds is 1.5% below its level in corporate debt prices should go up and in high yield, where there are still good options-you have to be selective.
