IMF published this video item, entitled “Global Economic Conditions and What They Mean for Inflation and Climate Policy” – below is their description.
The IMF’s forthcoming October 2022 World Economic Outlook examines two economic forces that could impact inflation going forward. One chapter looks at wage dynamics post-COVID-19, wage-price spiral risks, and how policymakers can respond. Another chapter investigates the potential near-term effects of critical climate policies on inflation and economic activity and how they can be best designed.
After briefly summarizing the chapters, the IMF authors will discuss their findings with PIIE senior fellows Olivier Blanchard and Pinelopi Koujianou Goldberg. A Q&A with the audience will follow.
