00:00Governor Myron, when he was on the show earlier today, pointed to the private credit markets as
00:04harboring some of the risk that otherwise would be visible in public markets, saying that it
00:09isn't marked to market in any kind of current level. You're seeing a lot of tech investment
00:13there. Are you concerned that we're seeing the best of the bunch in the public markets,
00:18but there's a lot of other stuff that just isn't as visible that has seen some deterioration?
00:22When I heard that comment that private credit is a symptom that credit conditions are too
00:31tight, I felt like I was having an out-of-body experience. Because I think myself and the
00:38market broadly believe that what we've seen with a handful of issuers, that credit conditions are
00:45too loose. There's such an overabundance of liquidity out there that the marginal borrower
00:52with a questionable business model can access funding. Can it go on forever? I always say
00:59a rolling loan gathers no loss. And at some point, the weak business model, the weak borrower
01:04will be exposed. I think we've seen some of that. I think what we're actually seeing is
01:10credit conditions are quite loose. And perhaps it is in the private credit space. I don't think
01:15that they're too tight.
