In this podcast [32 min], Insightview has interviewed Ulrik Bie, Berlingske’s economic editor since 2018. Berlingske is one of Denmark's leading newspapers. We discuss the European Central Bank’s role in economic policy-making, and whether reform of central banking is needed. Broadly speaking: Are monetary policymakers part of the problem rather than the solution?
Insightview asks Ulrik whether there is too much focus on mitigating the impact of external shocks (kicking the can down the road) and too little focus on eradicating or isolating a problem? Also, the editor asks Ulrik how this story of never-ending monetary and fiscal stimulus measures will end? Is inflation back?
Prior to working for Berlingske, Ulrik Bie has worked in Washington DC twice; first as a financial attaché at the Danish embassy and last time as chief economist at the Institute of International Finance. Ulrik has also been chief economist at Nykredit in Copenhagen. He started out at the Danish central bank after finishing a Master of Science in Economics. Ulrik covers domestic, but mostly international economic issues.
