“[The Fed wants] to have a nice balance between not causing the US economy to slow down too quickly, or to create too much volatility in financial markets,” says Dana Peterson, Chief Economist at The Conference Board. In a new episode of CEO Perspectives, The Conference Board President and CEO Steve Odland sits down with Peterson to discuss US inflation: Why are prices climbing at the fastest pace in decades and what can be done to stop it? Tune in for insights on:
Ukraine: What impact is the war in Ukraine having on the supply chain and inflation? What commodities are being affected?
Inflation trends: What effect did the pandemic have on the demand for and availability of goods? How do labor shortages and the Great Resignation factor into inflation?
The Fed: Hindsight is 20/20, but what could the Fed have done differently? What can they do now to reduce inflation? What can’t they do?
Infrastructure and energy: How can investing in infrastructure help resolve some of these issues? What can policymakers do? What can the US do to increase energy supply in the short term and how do we balance those short-term needs with long-term carbon goals?
The timeline: When should we expect to get back to a normal inflation rate? Is there a new normal?
