Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Trade & Tariff Tales
Q: What are the most dynamic growth opportunities for UK-US trade and how has the second state visit influenced these opportunities?
The UK has embraced new, faster-moving trade approaches with the US, focusing on technologies that matter, including nuclear and quantum, and pushing for regulatory alignment to speed up cross-border collaboration while maintaining safety and standards.
Professor Mari Pangestu
Q: From your experience, how should countries balance globalization benefits with domestic costs?
By reforming multilateral rules, maintaining openness, and using targeted regional and bilateral approaches to protect domestic industries while expanding opportunities abroad.
Gov. Michael S. Barr
Q: What are your thoughts on the independence of the Fed amid political pressures?
Fed independence remains critical; we focus on our mandate and data to guide decisions, ensuring credibility and the expertise to manage inflation and employment objectives without political interference.
Gov. Michael S. Barr
Q: With inflation pressures from tariffs, do you expect core inflation to stay elevated and how does that affect the stance on rate cuts?
Tariffs have raised real input costs, but core PCE inflation risks remain; given the evolving uncertainty and the labor market dynamics, policy should stay cautious and gradual, avoiding over-tightening or premature loosening.
Gov. Michael S. Barr
Q: I think AI is having some effects now, but how do you assess its impact on the labor market in the near term versus the longer term?
AI is likely to have profound medium- to long-term effects, but data currently show more modest short-term impacts; in the long run AI should be complementary to human labor, boosting productivity and creating new roles even as some jobs evolve or disappear.
