SUMMARY
  • Some unrealistically academic policymakers worry that rising real rates from disinflation will excessively tighten monetary conditions. We firmly believe they are mistaken.
  • Cost shocks eroded disposable income, but this real income and expenditure squeeze is fading. The income channel is far more important than the interest rate one.
  • Uncertain policymakers should rely more on the data than misapplied theories. Resilient demand and persistent inflation would tell them to wait longer before cutting.
