Roubini: The Monetary Policy Response to Coronavirus – Part Two

In the second part of this final episode of Real Vision’s interview with renowned economist Dr. Nouriel Roubini, we take a detailed tour of the ‘alphabet soup’ of U.S. monetary policy. Dr. Roubini unpacks the stresses in the financial systems during crises, the flight to quality trade that occurs under crisis pressures, and explains and the technical challenges of liquidity preferences in markets.

Ash Bennington hosts this conversation for Real Vision.
