0:00 26:40

How do central bank policies like hiking interest rates affect inequality?

Annie and Grazielle sit down with Jordi, an economist at Positive Money, to unravel the complexities of monetary policy. Jordi explains how central banks influence financial conditions to achieve economic targets and the impact of interest rate changes on inequality.

The discussion covers how inflation affects different households, how central banks can address climate change, and how efforts to control inflation can inadvertently create conditions that favor recession.
