Imbalanced Accounts: Trade and Capital in 2025 with Brad Setser
Update: 2025-11-20
Description
The signal events and dominant narratives of 2025 have not had quite the advertised effects where global current account and capital flow trends are concerned. As Brad Setser, senior fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations, notes, tariffs raise revenue for the US but so far its external position relative to Asia has, if anything, worsened. De-dollarization has been an eye-catching idea that still has little basis in fact. The expected revaluation of currencies relative to the USD has been much more limited in scope than one might appreciate. These and many other threads are pulled together in a globe-spanning episode this week.
