Tidl. centralbank medlemmer i fælles erklæring
Posted af John Yde, 13/01/2026
Tidligere medlemmer af den amerikanske centralbank og førende økonomer har udsendt en fælles erklæring, der bakker op om vigtigheden af centralbankens evne og mulighed for at føre pengepolitik uden partipolitisk indblanding.
Erklæringen lyder:
“The Federal Reserve’s independence and the public’s perception of that independence are critical for economic performance, including achieving the goals Congress has set for the Federal Reserve of stable prices, maximum employment, and moderate long-term interest rates. The reported criminal inquiry into Federal Reserve Chair Jay Powell is an unprecedented attempt to use prosecutorial attacks to undermine that independence. This is how monetary policy is made in emerging markets with weak institutions, with highly negative consequences for inflation and the functioning of their economies more broadly. It has no place in the United States whose greatest strength is the rule of law, which is at the foundation of our economic success.“
