Briefings

Gita Gopinath, former IMF chief economist, discusses trade imbalances, currency dynamics, and emerging technologies. She notes trade balances are weakly linked to real exchange rates and analyzes Argentina's post-inflation policies under Milei. The conversation covers stablecoins, digital currencies, AI's impact on productivity, and her family's political background in Kerala. Recorded August 27, 2026, the episode explores whether economic models accurately predict currency behavior and what future trends like AI and CBDCs will mean for global economics.

Key points

• Trade balances show only weak correlation with real exchange rates, challenging standard economic models.
• Argentina's fiscal discipline under Milei is linked to successful disinflation despite high initial inflation.
