“An influential group of leading world banks warned Thursday that central banks are pumping out too much easy money and markets risk becoming dangerously addicted to ultra-low interest rates. The Institute of International Finance, which groups 450 banks, said if central banks continue to flood money into the global economy then any future bid to get it under control could itself destabilize the financial system. ‘These conditions — quantitative easing, very low interest rates — cannot last forever, but the risk is that financial markets have become addicted to them,’ it warned.”
