Gita Gopinath on Why Interest Rates Have Surged All Around the World

We are OK with China dumping all these goods on us.

Gita Gopinath on Why Interest Rates Have Surged All Around the World

They're going to put tariffs on China.

Odd Lots
Gita Gopinath on Why Interest Rates Have Surged All Around the World

China is aware of that, which is also partly why they are trying to, you know, see how they can manage their own exports to some extent.

Odd Lots
Gita Gopinath on Why Interest Rates Have Surged All Around the World

They will move in that direction.

But I am not a buyer of the whole China produces everything and does everything on its own.

Odd Lots
Gita Gopinath on Why Interest Rates Have Surged All Around the World

And somehow we still continue buying from China.

Gita Gopinath on Why Interest Rates Have Surged All Around the World

That makes little sense to me.

I think it's very important what's going to happen with AI and the productivity boom that we are hoping for.

Odd Lots
Gita Gopinath on Why Interest Rates Have Surged All Around the World

that is going to be very important.

Gita Gopinath on Why Interest Rates Have Surged All Around the World

If it turns out that there is very little showing up in productivity from AI, or we have a setback that comes from just discovering that, oh, there's so much of hallucination that you can't really use it for anything very important.

the pricing of debt, it drops even more.

Odd Lots
Gita Gopinath on Why Interest Rates Have Surged All Around the World

It's a lot more concern about what's going to happen in terms of government's ability to repay all the debt that they have, and not just now, but

Odd Lots

that's expected to come into the future.

Odd Lots
Gita Gopinath on Why Interest Rates Have Surged All Around the World

So for me, that's one thing.

Gita Gopinath on Why Interest Rates Have Surged All Around the World

I mean, it is important that there is growth in the economy and that that growth is coming from good places.

Odd Lots
Gita Gopinath on Why Interest Rates Have Surged All Around the World

At this point, it seems like the growth is coming from AI investment and the hope that it's gonna generate all that productivity growth.

Odd Lots
Gita Gopinath on Why Interest Rates Have Surged All Around the World

If that story goes away, we have a problem in terms of the concerns around fiscal positions around the world.

Odd Lots
Gita Gopinath on Why Interest Rates Have Surged All Around the World
