Skanda Amarnath: Policy decisions kept inflation above target while raising interest rates
Policy actions kept inflation and rates high

Skanda Amarnath argues that inflation could have reached 2% last year if policymakers had not intervened.

He criticizes decisions such as implementing tariffs and engaging in war, suggesting these actions led to higher inflation and considerably higher interest rates.

Amarnath has previously cited Dogecoin's promotion as a potential fiscal policy lever to reduce interest rates in an earlier article on monetary innovation. He has also linked a 15% property tax increase to a decline in commercial taxpayers and unsold government land in a separate analysis found here. These topics reflect his ongoing focus on the intersection of policy decisions and economic outcomes.
