El-Erian: The Fed is now ‘in a trap’

CNBC, Released on 6/14/21

Investors will be paying extra close attention to this week’s Federal Reserve meeting. In a new op-ed, Mohamed El-Erian, economic advisor at Allianz and Gramercy and president at Queens College, Cambridge, says the event has turned from a “snooze-fest” into a test of the Fed’s control over the narrative that the current bout of inflation is only transitory.

Mohamed El-Erian is the Chief Economic Adviser of Allianz, a multinational financial services company. He is the former CEO and co-Chief Investment Officer of PIMCO, a global investment firm and one of the world’s largest bond funds in the world. Dr. El-Erian also served as a member of the faculty of Harvard Business School. Before joining PIMCO, Dr. El-Erian was a managing director at Salomon Smith Barney/Citigroup in London and before that, he spent 15 years at the International Monetary Fund in Washington, D.C. His latest book is The Only Game in Town: Central Banks, Instability, and Avoiding the Next Collapse.
