During the pandemic, government deficits skyrocketed to record highs while central banks primed the printing presses—and the time has come to pay for it. The ramifications of international COVID-19 spending could potentially last for decades, and inevitably one of the first consequences will be that central banks will lose control of interest rates, and subsequently, growth and inflation targets.

The old economy is shattered and gone forever. It’s never coming back as it was, and in its place a generally tougher, more demanding marketplace is emerging.
