In this podcast episode, Paul and Megan are joined by Debbie Hair (Investment Manager, Evelyn Partners). They delve into various economic and financial topics, starting with inflation and its implications, touching on both short-term and long-term trends, emphasising the importance of considering environmental, social, and governance factors when evaluating companies for investment, particularly in the context of climate change.

The discussion also covers quantitative easing (QE) and the role of central banks, such as the Bank of England, in managing monetary policy. Debbie explains that while the need for QE may decrease with economic growth, it could still be used in the future to stabilize economic conditions.

We also discuss the 2% inflation target and its somewhat arbitrary nature, with a focus on the credibility it brings to economic policies. Megan & Paul also inquire about investment strategies for first-time buyers, as well as gold as an investment option. We wrap up by discussing the market's future, with a focus on maintaining stability and the central banks' policy of "higher for longer."
