It started out as a transitory problem driven by post-COVID supply constraints. Central banks thought it would pass. Then the mood switched and monetary tightening kicked in. But different central banks started at different times, hiking at different speeds to end up in very different places. But is monetary policy effective in an environment like this? And what about governments choosing to use fiscal stimulus measures, does that help or hinder the quest for lower inflation? Phil Dobbie talks to JBWere’s Chief Investment Officer Sally Auld about the variety of approaches being taken to tackle inflation. Importantly, how does Australia fare? Her views on that are certainly worth a listen.
