Central bank tightening: what could break?

Central banks’ aggressive policy tightening has raised concerns about what could break in a global financial system accustomed to low rates. In the latest Exchanges at Goldman Sachs, Goldman Sachs’ Allison Nathan speaks with Jeremy Stein, Professor at Harvard University and a former Federal Reserve Board Governor, and Vítor Constâncio, former vice president of the European Central Bank, about which financial stability risks are worth watching, whether policymakers have the tools to manage those risks, and if they could prompt central banks to slow or even pause tightening. The episode is based on Goldman Sachs Research’s latest Top of Mind report. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
