MNI PODCAST: FedSpeak-Cecchetti Sees More Financial Turmoil

  • Stephen Cecchetti, ex-BIS adviser and former NY Fed research director, says the financial turmoil is not over, but it's hard to know what's the next shoe to drop.
  • "Will the system require certain kinds of support in the future that we can’t envision today? Probably. Will the central bank have to adjust those and create programs to provide that support? Probably. Can I tell you what they are? No."
  • Cecchetti says Fed policy has just recently become restrictive, meaning the central bank will have to tighten a bit further in order to ensure inflation comes back down to target.
  • He says a recession is all but inevitable but doesn't think it will be especially deep.
