Thought of the day

What should the level of short-term interest rates be?

Periods of stable economic growth with low inflation happened when short-term interest rates were greater than 1.4 times inflation.

With inflation at 2.1%, short-term interest rate should be at least 3%, up from the current 0.13%.

The price we are paying for this discrepancy is soaring commodities and steadily rising inflation.
