Miran (Fed): Trump Administration's Deregulation Paves the Way for Lower Interest Rates

Focusing on deregulation in the US, Fed Governor Stephen Miran, speaking at the Delphi Economic Forum in Athens, estimated that the economy can withstand lower interest rates, supporting further easing despite concerns about inflation and employment. Miran added deregulation to his argument for further interest rate cuts, believing that the Trump administration's policy will significantly boost competition, productivity, and potential economic output, allowing for faster growth without upward pressure on inflation. Miran, who is on leave from the White House as a key economic advisor to President Donald Trump, has repeatedly advocated for a rapid series of bold interest rate cuts, arguing that the current monetary policy stance unduly burdens the economy. He estimates that by early 2025, approximately 30% of the regulatory restrictions in the Code of Federal Regulations will have been eliminated by 2030.
