Munk Dialogue with Mark Zandi
Avoiding a recession with smart policy decisions.
With inflation remaining high despite rising interest rates, many economists are looking for new solutions to bring inflation down without triggering a recession. On this Munk Dialogue, we’re joined by Mark Zandi, chief economist of Moody’s Analytics, who gives us some insight into why the situation might not be as dire as some believe, and offers up some proposals on how to get inflation under control without raising rates.
“I wouldn’t sacrifice the economy to the altar of the 2-2.5% inflation target…maybe we will get there in a year, but we don’t need to go into a recession to get there sooner”
-MARK ZANDI
