About this episode

Urs and Jess discuss the economic challenges of stagflation affecting the U.S., EU, and Switzerland.

In this episode of The Swiss View , Urs and Jess explore the economic realities shaping the United States, the European Union, and Switzerland. The conversation moves from GDP performance and what it reveals about the strength of each economy to the everyday impact Americans are feeling at the gas pump, tying it all back to the global price of oil per barrel and the broader energy market. Along the way, they unpack the increasingly difficult position central banks find themselves in as they try to balance inflation, interest rates, slowing growth, and market stability. With a Swiss perspective on global economics, the discussion offers a thoughtful look at the pressures facing policymakers and consumers alike in an uncertain financial environment.
