Honestly? I’d be happy to do fewer interviews if CBI could go back to being a quiet technocratic win of the past 😄. #Fed #CBI #Trump #Powell #MonetaryPolicy #EconTwitter.

A large literature has shown that CBI is key for: .✅ Price stability.✅ Anchoring inflation expectations.✅ Other macro variables. Markets have pushed back before (see the tariff U-turn). Hopefully, they will do it again.

Trump’s repeated public criticism of Powell risks undermining the Fed’s credibility, just as inflation remains a top concern. Even if he says he won’t fire Powell, the damage to expectations and trust is real.

🎙️ It was an honour to speak to @morningireland and @France24_en this week on Trump’s latest attacks on Jerome Powell & the real risks to the Fed’s independence. 📉 Undermining CBI isn’t just bad politics—it’s bad economics. 🎧 📽️

Trump says Powell termination can't come fast enough . Firing Powell may marginally change de jure central bank independence (see data 👉 , but it could seriously damage the credibility of the Fed and the US dollar.
