Indeed, ministers and health officials are far more important for the economy now, than central bankers. /Chris Giles, FT, 2 October/
In the 2010s, the banking sector was the key player in the global economy. However, lack of proper financial regulation led to the global financial crisis in 2007/2009. Of course, central bankers solved the crisis, because it was a full-fledged financial crisis.
This time it is different, the present crisis is a mixture of a pandemic, fear and all sorts of challenges to sustainability. To solve it, we need the right policies of really efficient, creative and able governments.
