#29: The pandemic & the impact on the global, US and UK economy with Shaun Richards
Shaun Richards is an independent economist who specialises in inflation measurement and monetary economics. This follows a career in the City of London where he specialised in derivatives (mainly options) on interest-rates and bonds. He has also worked in Tokyo. He is a Bank of England (BoE) watcher which covers the issues of monetary policy and quantitative easing (QE).
Shaun has also traded as a local on the London International Financial Futures Exchange where he mostly traded futures and options on future and present UK interest rates.
We cover the following topics in this conversation:
- What has happened to the global/US and UK economy as a result of the pandemic?
- What is money printing and what is the impact on the economy?
- Should we be worried about the rising level of global and UK government debt?
- We're hearing a lot about UK inflation: can you explain what inflation is? What is driving inflation? What is the rate of inflation and looking ahead to H2 and 2022/23?
- Interest rates: what do we expect to see in the US/UK in 2021/22/23?
- Unemployment & productivity: what are we seeing in the UK? What's ahead? (eg structural changes)
- What is the economic outlook for the global/UK economy?
- Ray Dalio, the billionaire and hedge fund manager, says that he'd rather buy bitcoin than a bond. Do you agree?
