Central banks with Chris Giles: lessons from the battle against inflation

To mark the launch of a new weekly FT newsletter, Chris Giles gathered with Colby Smith in DC, Martin Arnold in Frankfurt and Claire Jones in London for a subscriber-exclusive webinar to discuss central banks’ ability to forecast and control inflation. 

Answering readers’ questions, the FT’s central bank watchers talked about what changes in practice might emerge in the years ahead following the widespread failures to see this inflation spike coming. What lessons are being drawn at other institutions, from Frankfurt to Tokyo? 

The Chris Giles on Central Banks newsletter, which is free for premium subscribers, will be deploying an international lens to examine the economic data, the best new ideas, and the way central banks talk to us about their crucial decisions.
