Fed to Raise Interest Rates, Has No Choice

Martin Panek and Liberalni Institute/February 7, 2022

The US Federal Reserve System (Fed) has announced that it will raise interest rates. They have been at zero since the start of the pandemic and since the last recession in 2009, they hit their highest level in 2019. But even in 2019, they were very low, with an effective rate of about 2.5%.

Martin Vlachynsky and INESS/May 28, 2021June 1, 2021 /Leave a comment

Draghi Did “Everything in His Power”, It Is the Politicians’ Turn

Yavor Alexiev and IME/March 29, 2016March 29, 2016 /Leave a comment

Back in 2012, Mario Draghi vowed to do “everything in his power” to save the euro. Four years later that promise seems fulfilled – both the recent moves by the ECB and the market reaction that followed suggest that we are reaching the limit of what monetary policy can achieve in the euro area.

Freezing Point

Martin Vlachynsky/August 23, 2014August 31, 2017 /Leave a comment

Clueless looks of politicians will be once again drawn to the ECB. In addition to reports on starting recession, they are supported also by the legend of deflationary spiral that regularly emerges from monetary depths to destroy the shoots of economic success.
