Listen "The Past, Present, and Future of Fed Independence"
Episode Synopsis
Season 11 Episode 04
The Federal Reserve is a political institution that is accountable to Congress, but also to the public, and its independence ensures it can conduct monetary policy in a way that it perceives to be in support of its dual mandate without undue political pressures. However, some candidates have expressed interest in giving other branches of government a say in the Fed’s decision-making process, meaning that this election could have a major impact on how monetary policy is conducted. To explore the implications of any changes to the Federal Reserve’s independence, Gabriela Santos is excited to be back with Dr. David Kelly, Chief Global Strategist here at J.P. Morgan Asset Management.
