As monetary activism loses traction, fiscal policy takes center stage – will it make any difference?

Date: Thursday 12th May, 2016
Time: 3-4pm BST, 10-11am EDT

ZIRP and QE have failed to move most developed economies decisively clear of stagnation. It seems that monetary policy – conventional or otherwise – has lost its traction on the real economy. Global attention is now shifting to the other main tool of macroeconomic demand management: fiscal policy.

Our partners Fathom Consulting will present at this exclusive webinar on the following:

• How will this policy shift affect the prospects for global growth and the performance of asset markets?
• Can a different mix of demand-management policies have any effect on long-run growth?
• Fathom will also introduce its new, unique and proprietary gauge: the Financial Macroeconomic Policy Indicator (FMPI)*

Charts from this presentation along with the FMPI will be available on Thomson Reuters Eikon following the webinar. To learn more about Thomson Reuters Eikon or to request a free trial, click here. 

*The FMPI quantifies the stance of macroeconomic policy (both monetary and fiscal) in the world’s major economies, and how that stance changes over time.
