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 Structural Budget Deficits","slug":"how-central-banks-use-structural-budget-deficits","published_at":"2026-07-12T07:28:43+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-structural-budget-deficits","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-0106.mp3","audio_url":"https://audio.fexingo.com/business/monetary-policy-explained/episode-0106.mp3","summary":"Episode 106 of Monetary Policy Explained with Fexingo. Lucas and Luna dive into the little-discussed concept of structural versus cyclical budget deficits and how central banks factor them into monetary policy. Using Canada's 2024–2026 federal budget as a case study, they break down why the Bank of Canada pays attention to the cyclically adjusted balance, how a high structural deficit can complicate interest rate decisions, and what the 'fiscal path' signals mean for inflation and the neutral rate. The hosts also touch on how markets interpret government spending commitments when central banks are trying to cool demand. No jargon overload—just a clear look at an often-overlooked input on the monetary policy dashboard. #StructuralDeficit #CyclicalDeficit #CentralBanks #BankOfCanada #MonetaryPolicy #FiscalPolicy #BudgetDeficit #Inflation #NeutralRate #Economics #CanadaBudget #FiscalDominance #GovernmentSpending #InterestRates #MonetaryPolicyExplained #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #LucasAndLuna Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo","meta_description":"Episode 106 of Monetary Policy Explained with Fexingo.
