Paul Krugman backed calls for the Fed to change its inflation target to 3% – but Mohamed El-Erian says there's little chance of that happening. The two economists voiced their views ahead of Fed chair Powell's speech at Jackson Hole on Friday. "It is very hard for a central bank to change an inflation target when it has been missing it so consistently," El-Erian said. The two economists' comments come ahead of Fed chair Jerome Powell's speech at the 2023 Jackson Hole Economic Symposium on Friday. "It is very hard for a central bank to change an inflation target when it has been missing it so consistently," El-Erian told CNBC on Monday.

☆ Asking the Fed to adjust its inflation target would be like waving a Pride flag at a DeSantis rally, Paul Krugman says

Paul Krugman has long been a critic of the Fed's 2% inflation target, and suggests the goal be bumped up to 3%. But central bankers' reaction to such suggestions is similar to what "you'd get if you waved a Pride flag at a DeSantis rally," he says. It's not the first time that Krugman has called for a 3% inflation target. But economist Mohamed El-Erian disagrees – warning there's no chance the Fed will calibrate its inflation target, even though it's a strong argument. AdvertisementAdvertisement"So yes, there's a theoretical argument for a higher inflation target, but don't look for chair Powell to touch that issue in any significant way," he added.
