Failure to act against inflation seen as risk, Andrew Ackerman warns
Warsh warned of inflation risk in 2008

Andrew Ackerman highlights concerns about central bank responses to inflation. In a 2008 speech, former Fed governor Warsh emphasized that investors viewed the central bank as vigilant on inflation, given its decades-long track record following the high-inflation period of the 1970s.

Ackerman has previously reported that American firms expect sustained higher inflation due to factors such as tariffs, oil price risks, and AI-driven demand, as detailed in a recent analysis. He has also covered how Federal Reserve reporters prepare multiple story versions before the 2 p.m. decision each meeting, highlighting the challenges of real-time coverage in a separate report. These reports add context to ongoing discussions about central bank credibility and inflation expectations.
