Fed U-turn reveals "power play"?The chairman's big change of face raises doubts about independence!
Recently, Fed Chairman Jerome Powell's policy changes have caused a lot of stir. Can you imagine that he previously insisted that "he will not consider cutting interest rates", but recently said that the Fed will "discuss cutting interest rates"?This 180-degree turn can't help but make people jaw-dropping, and they can't help but think of the existence of political pressure.
The Federal Reserve, which is considered to be independent of politics, is now being drawn into the vortex of the "power game". I have to say, this is simply a "big rollover" of monetary policy, isn't it?
First, let's look at how important the Fed's independence is. In theory, this is key to ensuring that monetary policy is focused on controlling inflation and boosting employment. However, Powell's U-turn has raised questions about whether they still have independence at all
Historical experience tells us that in critical political periods, such as election years, the adjustment of monetary policy is often greatly affected by fiscal policy. Does this mean that political pressure has caused the Fed chairman to change course?Among them, there is also a theory of "policy game", to put it bluntly, how various political and economic interest groups manipulate the decisions of ** banks behind the scenes to achieve their own goals.
In this regard, some netizens commented: "Federal Reserve, what's wrong with you?".Are you also confused by political pressure?"Indeed, this change has caused a lot of discussion. Some say this is a normal policy adjustment, while others bluntly doubt that the Fed is being swayed by "power".
See, this issue is not just an internal issue in the United States, but a big issue related to global economic governance. Are banks facing challenges to independence in general across the globe?This question makes people think deeply.
In this regard, China's ** banks are doing quite well. Although there are some criticisms, on the whole, it is quite resistant to political interference. This can't help but make me sigh, can China's experience in this area teach the Fed a lesson?
After all, the independence of banks is essential for a country's economic stability and development. In China, the first bank has been relatively independent in the implementation of monetary policy, without too much interference from external political forces. Could this experience serve as a model for other countries to follow?
Overall, Powell's U-turn may be just a microcosm of the tension between the Fed's independence and external political pressures. Although independence should be preserved in theory, in practice it is difficult to avoid interference from political forces. China's performance in this area may serve as a reference for other countries.
So, let's think about whether the Fed's change this time is a wake-up call for the independence of the world's best banksPerhaps we can find some answers to this question from China's experience.
