The Outlook After the Oil Shock: Between Iraq and a Soft Place

The Fourth District Economists’ Roundtable met last month to discuss the economic outlook in the wake of the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait.

Participants also discussed possible monetary policy responses to the risks of recession and higher inflation.
