What’s So Special About 2% Inflation?

The 2% inflation target is key to the Federal Reserve’s vision for stable prices. But, where exactly did this 2% inflation goal originate? New Zealand.
In the late 1980s, the country faced high inflation when one economist proposed, ’Why don’t we just have an inflation target?” U.S. declared its 2% inflation target in 2012.
Canada, Australia, Japan and Israel are among the many economies that include 2% in their inflation rate targets, according to the International Monetary Fund.
Watch the video above to learn more about why some economists argue for changing the target, lower or higher, and whether it may change anytime soon.

What’s So Special About 2% Inflation?

[@rapp-in1mz]

Inflation hits people a lot harder than a crashing stock or housing market as it directly affects people's cost of living that people immediately feel the impact of. It's not surprising negative market sentiment is so high now. We really need help to survive in this Economy.

[@WalterDorcas]

I think I could really use more guidance to navigate the market, it is completely overwhelming, I've liquidated most of my assets and I could really use some advice on what best to invest into..

[@soniajames-tn4mp]

Your best option if you are unfamiliar with the markets is to seek advice or help from a consultant or investing coach. I know it sounds simple or generic, but talking to a consultant helped me stay afloat in the market and increase my portfolio to roughly 65% since January. For me, it's the best method to enter the market right now...

[@rapp-in1mz]

Please who is the consultant that assist you with your investment and if you don't mind, how do I get in touch with them?

It is advisable to steer clear of cons that appear improbable. Seeking guidance from a fiduciary advisor can be helpful as they are highly skilled in their field and can provide tailored advice based on an individual's risk appetite. While there may be unscrupulous individuals, there are also remarkable ones with a positive track record.

Economists and business leaders are voicing concerns at the start of 2023 that the year could be a difficult one. JPMorgan Chase & Co. Chief Executive Jamie Dimon said that the Federal Reserve may need to raise interest rates to 6% to fight inflation, higher than the peak level between 5% and 5.5% in 2023 that most Fed officials penciled in after their December meeting.

The rising interest rate can surely control inflation, but won't prevent erosion of the eroding purchasing power of the US dollar. I have learnt my lesson this time. The banks can't be making money off my money, while inflation eats into it. I have set aside $93,000 to invest in the stock market now, since that keeps up with inflation, but I don't know how to get started.

[@stevensmiddlemass2072]

Yes, truly, investing in the market, even if it's just the S&P 500, can keep up with inflation, because the growth rate of stocks will always exceed the inflation rate. But if you don't have the courage, you could just invest with a financial advisor, which even has greater return on investments, while securing your investment against losses.

That means net loss for you. That is why I prefer to invest, and on average, my wealth manager makes returns that always beats inflation!

Today's inflation is a result of corporate avarice, not only problems with the supply chain. We know that the money obtained by the higher prices isn't being transmitted along the supply chain since businesses are reporting record profits. More pricing result in increased revenue for businesses, which stays with them and goes into their pockets. We can rule out supply-related inflation because of this. If your stocks are extremely weak, now is an excellent opportunity to take a battered 401k and convert it to a Roth. Then, your Roth will be tax-free, and you will just have to pay taxes on the substantially reduced current values.

[@drscopeify]

For sure, the problem with deflation is that if buyers see goods today for $100 will be $90 or $80 next year, why buy today? And sellers see their prices falling so they lower output so now you have a frozen up economy, buyers not buying and sellers reducing output, everyone suffers. This is what Japan ran in to in the so called "lost decade" With inflation you just need to make sure people don't run out of cash but with home prices rising and being a big country people can always move to a cheaper place or city or state so it can deal with inflation and look at the record employment recently the system loves a little inflation looks healthy for workers and opportunity, I say let it be 4% especially since globalization may be slowing down or falling its just going to create some inflation naturally so the rate will need to rise over 2% I say 4%.

[@marcuscaparini7594]

​@@Foslopac Well, the question is if you want stability or growth. The fact is that most of the capital that companies use to grow comes from investment and IPOs. A major factor that provides an incentive for investment is inflation, and the fact that money loses value over time. A low rate of inflation is relatively harmless to people of lower economic status, because most of their money is produced then spent within half a decade or so. The small percentage that they lose tends not to be missed. On the other hand, any inflation is a big deal for people who want to park their money in the bank, because losing 2% of 10,000,000 is going to hurt. In particular, if you're trying to build generational wealth, then the mere existence of consistent inflation means that you have to participate in the economy, even if only as an investor. The fact that you're investing in the economy allows the economy to grow bigger, which results in a bigger crumbs for the rest of us. On the other hand, investing is risky. If there was no inflation and you had more money than you could ever spend, there's not that much reason to invest. You'd put your money in government bonds, and your family would be removed from the workforce for an infinite amount of time. Instead of your wealth being reduced by a factor of 10 over 90 years, you would pass down infinite money cheats to your kids. TLDR; inflation keeps the economy growing, the rich from taking their ball and going home, and people in the work force. It's absolutely crucial that it remains. Perhaps, it's more crucial that it remains than that it remains small.

Why lose 2% of your money’s value every year when you can lose 4% instead? After all it’s easier to measure losing $4 vs losing $2. They is so smart.

[@naalsocomment9449]

interesting video but it misses to explain why deflation it considered to be bad (as one guy said, deflation would reflect the natural development of prices... by taking advantage of technology and mass production). On the other hand, inflation devalues money and the capital of the middle class. It does not help them in paying back their loans, since they are mostly tide to central bank rates and those increase when inflation increase. Inflation only help big companies and governments to devalue their debts Also deflation does not mean loans will be more expensive as there is no such thing as added debt when interest rates are

[@TheBlackMage3]

2% inflation target does make intuitive sense since it also matches the modern growth rate of the US (even if it was a happy accident).

[@alberthoffman5297]

How about considering the possibility of negative inflation rates to increase the value of money? We could reduce wasteful spending and consumption, and instead adopt a more sustainable approach similar to nature's ecosystem, from an economic standpoint.

this model is unsustainable. it fosters increasing inequality, creates bubbles and to be honest, what is the point of not counting energy, and housing? what counts for people is that their money value is not falling year on year by so much. so housing and energy, as well as basic food and basec medical care should be sheltered from being marketized. from there onwards is the playground for developing an economy. now these fix rent businesses of energy, food, housing, moreover in the state of monopoly? these business man/women should go got some courage

How often have they hit their 2% target? And how much genuine output is being created that isn't tax theft and government spending and borrowing? It's a millenia-old con.

[@whatsup3270]

the 2% is to pull growth, largely there is 2% of new money to compete for

[@sprinkle61]

So 9 % theft is bad, but 2 % theft is just fine ? Really ? So you don't mind if I take 2 % out of your account every year ? I can't stand this obscene logic. If inflation is bad, then inflation is bad, this isn't a medicine/poison situation, inflation is TAKING YOUR MONEY, and no amount of taking is good, unless it is a legal tax passed in a bill though congress.
