In defence of gilts
Article Abstract:
There is concern that United Kingdom government securities (gilts) may have become too expensive since gilt yields have dropped in relation to US long-dated index-linked bonds, and the term structure gives lower yields after five years than for German bonds. International capital may not be as mobile as is believed, since demand for capital is higher in the US, and the savings ratio has dropped. Other reasons for doubting that gilts are overvalued include a risk of deflation, and comparisons between gilts and cash.
