Inflation and Central Banks

The podcast discusses the current state of inflation and whether global central banks have successfully controlled it. The speaker highlights that inflation in most developed countries is on a downtrend and the focus has shifted from rate hikes to anticipated rate cuts. The timeline for rate cuts is expected to begin in May, starting with the US. In Australia, inflation is also decreasing, but rate cuts are not expected until September due to the inflation rate not being at the desired level. Overall, the speaker suggests that central banks are confident in their ability to handle inflation.
