The Brussels Report Podcast

Welcome to the new episode of the Brussels Report podcast.

My name is Peter Klepper. I'm the editor-in-chief of

BrusselsReport.E.U. And I'm delighted that today we have as our guest, Fabian Wintersberger.

Fabian is an Austrian economist, a real Austrian economist from Austria. There's not so many in Austria, unfortunately, but he definitely is, I would say.

He's also a rates trader at an Austrian bank, has been educated at the University of Lins.

And most of all, I've invited Fabian because he's a frequent commentator,

economic commentator on Twitter,

closely following the ins and outs of the European Central Bank

and the Federal Reserve that I think as our listeners will all appreciate,

has a massive influence on government financing in

the Eurozone and therefore on overall politics and the room to manoeuvre and economic development.

So he's been writing for Brussels report as well on energy policy but also on inflation.

And that's exactly what we're going to discuss today.

So welcome, Fabian.

Well, thanks for having me.

Good, let's get on with it then.

First of all, big question.

Do you expect deflation or inflation?

In my opinion, we're going to see inflation because there is so much money going out into

the system and everybody is always referring to 2008 and to say, well, see,

back then we had no inflation.
