El-Erian: Fed losing credibility over inflation

“I think the Fed is losing credibility,” Mohamed El-Erian, chief economic advisor at Allianz, told CNBC on Monday.

“We are in this transition of central banks mischaracterizing inflation. The repeated narrative: ‘It is transitory, it is transitory, it is transitory.’ It is not transitory,” El-Erian said.

He said that there are “behavioral changes going on” that could cause inflation to “last for a while”.

El-Erian suggested that the Fed should accelerate the pace of tapering of its bond purchases and start preparing people for higher interest rates.
