ALL THE CREDIT | EPISODE 63

An independent central bank is the key to providing credibility to its monetary policy choices; credibility which anchors inflation expectations and allows a central bank to manage the demand-side of the economy and meet its mandate.

In this episode of All the Credit®, we highlight the importance of central bank independence, discussing its significance, potential threats, and the implications of political interference—particularly in the context of the U.S. Federal Reserve.

PGIM’s Tom Porcelli, Deputy Head of Global Economics and Chief U.S. Economist, hosts this discussion with Daleep Singh, Vice Chair and Chief Global Economist, and Katharine Neiss, PhD, Deputy Head of Global Economics and Chief European Economist.

Recorded on August 5, 2025.
