PIIE学者:新兴经济体面临政策权衡困境,发达国家如何助力解决?
As central banks across the world hike interest rates amid a global burst of inflation, a relentless logic dictates that many foreign economies may buckle before the Federal Reserve’s hiking cycle is complete. The US economy has continued to show strength despite the Fed’s actions to date, so US interest rates (and the US dollar) have further to rise before the Fed achieves a domestic slowdown sufficient to quell inflation. But other economies, notably the emerging-market and developing economies (EMDEs), are closer to recession. These economies are now beset by capital outflows and in some cases currency depreciations approaching or beyond levels that last prevailed at the height of the panic of March 2020 . Still laboring under pandemic legacies, many of these economies could soon face crises that the international financial system remains ill equipped to handle in an orderly fashion. Now is the time for richer countries—the grouping often referred to as “the West”—to provide more support for the world economy, and it is in their interest to do so.
