It would be really good to look at global data (to see the effects of so many QE monetary policies -- in the US, UK, EU, JPN, etc.).
The ratio charts do show a sharp "de-leveraging" in the US, which (if you dig into data) is mostly sophisticated investors winding down SPV/SPEs and the like.
A question worth asking is: why are credit market instruments growing in a de-leveraging environment?
Feel free to do the analysis, and I'll post it.
And thanks for engaging with the post.
