Episode Synopsis "Ep. 8: Mark Zandi, Chief Economist, Moody's Analytics"
In this episode of “On The Hill,” Tim Rood, SitusAMC Head of Industry Relations, talks with Mark Zandi, Chief Economist of Moody’s Analytics, about the crisis in affordable housing and the government’s role in tackling the issue. “We’ve gone nowhere on homeownership for decades,” Zandi said. “That’s a problem, particularly for lower-income Americans of color, because homeownership is the most critical way to building wealth.” Zandi is a cofounder of Economy.com, which Moody’s purchased in 2005. He serves on the board of directors of MGIC, the nation’s largest private mortgage insurance company, and is lead director of “Reinvestment Fund,” one of the nation’s largest community development financial institutions. Zandi frequently testifies before Congress and is often quoted in national and global publications, and interviewed by news media including CNBC, NPR, Meet the Press, CNN, and more. He also hosts the “Inside Economics” podcast.
