We recently dissected the errors in our core inflation forecasts for the world\u2019s economies\u2014that is, forecasts of inflation stripped of the volatile effects of food and energy price swings.<br \/>\n<b>&#8230;<\/b><br \/>\nWe consider four factors that, with the benefit of hindsight, help us rationalize inflation underpredictions. First, as the pandemic shock hit, policymakers were quick to provide fiscal support to avoid deep scarring from the crisis. Still, forecasts projected some scarring, and output gap projections for 2021 foresaw a large contraction in economic activity compared with potential. Only in retrospect did it become clear that the output slump, relative to potential, was not as dire. Most world economies\u2014almost 80 percent of world GDP\u2014are now known to have had smaller output gaps than projected in early 2021, an indication that the rapid recovery in demand exceeded expectations.<br \/>\n<b>&#8230;<\/b><br \/>\nSecond, the strong demand recovery met highly strained supply chains. Supply chain bottlenecks are normally caused by either demand or supply shocks, rarely a combination of the two.<br \/>\n<b>&#8230;<\/b><br \/>\nThird, the demand-supply imbalances were amplified by the shift in demand from services to goods during the early lockdown period as the leisure and hospitality sector mostly ceased functioning. This temporarily reversed a trend seen over the past couple of decades of goods inflation that was lower than services inflation.<br \/>\n<b>&#8230;<\/b><br \/>\nFourth, unprecedented labor market tightness, which persists to this day in some advanced economies, confounded some of the previous factors. Measured by the ratio of vacancies to unemployment, labor markets have been particularly tight in Australia, Canada, the UK, and the US, significantly correlating with the magnitude of these countries\u2019 core inflation forecast errors.<br \/>\n<b>&#8230;<\/b><br \/>\nOne peculiar feature of the policy response to the pandemic in 2020 was the aggressive fiscal stimulus, which according to some observers resembled wartime spending. Importantly, this stimulus was part of the forecasters\u2019 information set at the time. Our analysis shows that the size of the COVID-19 fiscal stimulus packages announced by different governments in 2020 correlates positively with core inflation forecast errors in advanced economies in 2021.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>PerpetualDiscounts now yield 6.31%, equivalent to 8.20% interest at the standard equivalency factor of 1.3x. <a

a decline in yield of about 1bp since 2\/24 to 5.24%, so the pre-tax interest-equivalent spread (in this context, the \u201cSeniority Spread\u201d) has widened slightly (and perhaps spuriously) to
