Renowned investor Jim Rogers, a veteran American bigshot who has worked closely with George Soros and co-founded Soros Fund Management, recently made a startling prediction about the future of the financial markets.&nbsp; 
According to Rogers, the next bear market will be the most significant in the last 80 years, drawing parallels to the Great Financial Crisis of 2008 and foreseeing an even worse scenario. 
Why does he say this? Is the situation really that grim? Let’s explore.&nbsp; 
<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-we-are-sitting-on-a-ticking-time-bomb">We Are Sitting On A Ticking Time Bomb</h2> 
Rogers highlighted the mounting levels of <a href="https://coinpedia.org/news/crypto-crash-looming-debt-ceiling-deal-and-its-potential-impact-on-cryptocurrency-markets/">debt within the global economic system</a> as a crucial factor that will eventually trigger a severe bear market in risk assets. Comparing the current state of affairs to the 2008 crisis, he emphasized that the debt levels have skyrocketed since then, making the situation far more precarious. 
<blockquote class="wp-block-quote"> 
 “In 2008, we witnessed a substantial bear market due to excessive debt. Take a look at the world today, and you’ll see that debt has surged to unprecedented levels since then. It’s a simple statement to make: the next bear market will be the worst in my lifetime. The staggering increase in debt over the past 14 years is the reason behind it,” stated Rogers. 
</blockquote> 
Has History Given Us A Warning?&nbsp; 
Rogers also drew attention to the great inflationary crisis of 1980, recalling the substantial interest rates and treasury yields that were necessary to combat <a href="https://coinpedia.org/news/heres-how-stablecoins-could-be-the-solution-to-the-global-inflation-crisis/">inflation</a> at the time. He warns that a similar situation could be on the horizon for the market.

The concerns raised by Rogers extend across multiple markets, including property, stocks, bonds, and currencies. During the 1980s, interest rates on treasury bills reached staggering heights of over 21% during the last massive inflationary storm that struck the market. 
<blockquote class="wp-block-quote"> 
 “Over 21%, because the situation was out of control and we had to do something. We did, it killed inflation, but it wasn’t a lot of fun for a lot of people. So that’s what’s going to happen,” says Roger. 
</blockquote> 
<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="strong-fed-rate-hikes-loom-strong">Fed Rate Hikes Loom&nbsp;</h2> 
While the Federal Reserve Open Market Committee has <a href="https://coinpedia.org/news/bank-of-america-predicts-6-fed-funds-rate-as-an-inflation-cooling-measure/">temporarily paused interest rate hikes</a>, providing some relief to the market, Rogers cautions that two more rate increases could be expected by the end of this year. This implies that the respite might only be temporary, and further adjustments in interest rates could have significant implications for the future of the financial markets.
