The European Central Bank is expected to cut interest rates as early as June. The US Federal Reserve, on the other hand, has postponed the interest rate turnaround for now. Is the ECB actually more successful?
The US Federal Reserve has postponed the interest rate turnaround because inflation in the USA remains stubborn. Observers do not expect a first reduction in key interest rates until September at the earliest. The European Central Bank is making better progress in combating inflation and is expected to cut interest rates as early as June.
But why is that? Is the ECB actually more successful and what is behind the Fed’s announcement that it will reduce its holdings of US government bonds more slowly from June? Raimund and Etienne talk about this in this current episode of “Brichta and Bell – Economics simple and fast”.
