Each episode dissects a specific policy move — a rate hike by the Federal Reserve, a quantitative easing program by the ECB, or a reserve requirement change by the People's Bank of China — and traces its impact on inflation, employment, and financial markets. Lucas brings the macroeconomic framework, citing exact data points from recent central bank statements and academic research. Luna pushes for the real-world implications: what does a 25-basis-point increase mean for a small business owner in Ohio or a bond trader in London? Together, they strip away jargon to reveal the mechanics of monetary transmission. The show serves investors, economics students, and professionals who need to understand policy signals without the noise. No hot takes, no political spin — just a clear-eyed look at how decisions made in marble halls ripple through the global economy. Can a central bank really steer growth without causing a recession? Lucas and Luna don't claim to have the answer, but they give you the tools to decide for yourself. #MonetaryPolicy #CentralBanks #FederalReserve #ECB #InterestRa…","last_synced_at":"2026-07-17T16:19:46.455535+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/monetary-policy-explained-with-fexingo-central-banks-money-supply-and-interest-rates-7872013"},"episode":{"title":"How Central Banks Use Macroprudential Policy to Cool Housing Markets","slug":"how-central-banks-use-macroprudential-policy-to-cool-housing-markets","published_at":"2026-06-22T19:30:34+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/monetary-policy-explained-with-fexingo-central-banks-money-supply-and-interest-rates-7872013/how-central-banks-use-macroprudential-policy-to-cool-housing-markets","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/monetary-policy-explained-with-fexingo-central-banks-money-supply-and-interest-rates-7872013","url":"https://audio.fexingo.com/business/monetary-policy-explained/episode-0067.mp3","audio_url":"https://audio.fexingo.com/business/monetary-policy-explained/episode-0067.mp3","summary":"Episode 67 of Monetary Policy Explained with Fexingo dives into macroprudential policy — the toolkit central banks use to prevent asset bubbles without raising interest rates for the whole economy. Lucas and Luna focus on a concrete example: New Zealand's 2021 loan-to-value ratio restrictions and debt-to-income caps, which cooled an overheated housing market while the Reserve Bank kept its cash rate low. They explain how tools like countercyclical capital buffers, loan-to-value limits, and stress tests target systemic risk in specific sectors. The hosts also discuss the trade-offs: macroprudential measures can be blunt, hard to calibrate, and may push risk into unregulated corners. A timely episode for anyone wondering why central banks sometimes use a scalpel instead of a sledgehammer. #MacroprudentialPolicy #HousingMarket #LoanToValueRatio #DebtToIncome #SystemicRisk #FinancialStability #CentralBanking #ReserveBankOfNewZealand #CountercyclicalCapitalBuffer #AssetBubbles #HousingBubble #MonetaryPolicy #Economics #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #Podcast #LucasAndLuna #PolicyTools Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo","meta_description":"Episode 67 of Monetary Policy Explained with Fexingo dives into macroprudential policy — the toolkit central banks use to prevent asset bubbles without ra…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":613,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/monetary-policy-explained-with-fexingo-central-banks-money-supply-and-interest-rates-7872013/episodes/how-central-banks-use-macroprudential-policy-to-cool-housing-markets/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/monetary-policy-explained-with-fexingo-central-banks-money-supply-and-interest-rates-7872013/how-central-banks-use-macroprudential-policy-to-cool-housing-markets.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
