What Is Happening With Inflation & Bank Failures

Over the past year, many have asked about inflation and how The Federal Reserve (the Fed) will control it. Additional concerns, such as Silicon Vally Bank’s and Signature Bank’s recent failures, have recently surfaced. As a result, you may be wondering what is going on, if your bank is secure, or what you should do.

The short video above will help you better understand the current state of inflation and the banking crisis in our nation. It explores how inflation today differs from the double-digit inflation caused by the problematic monetary policy of the 1970s and the differences in the strategies implemented to fight it.

In addition, we examine the implications of Quantitative Easing (QE), a strategy the Fed started using in 2008 and accelerated in 2020. This “money printing” campaign has now grown to over $8.6 trillion, heavily contributing to inflation’s rise to a 40-year high. Unfortunately, the Fed has continued QE over the last few weeks to prop up struggling banks’ falling values on their Treasury debt (bonds) because of rising interest rates.  

We realize these challenging times often lead to emotional decisions driven by fear. Take courage in 2 Timothy 1:7: “…for God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control.”

We at Envoy Financial believe that being a good steward of the resources God has entrusted us involves making sound decisions based on logic and reason rather than emotion. Therefore, we encourage you to watch this video.

In His Service,
