Freedom Of Information

Strongly agree

No

From the perspective of Freedom of Information, keeping the determination of interest rates independent from the President supports transparency, accountability, and the separation of powers. This independence ensures that such critical economic decisions are made based on comprehensive economic data and analysis rather than political expediency. The structure of institutions like the Federal Reserve in the United States, which operates independently of the executive branch, exemplifies this principle by making monetary policy decisions, including setting interest rates, based on its dual mandate to foster maximum employment and price stability. This setup promotes a more transparent and accountable economic policy-making process.

Strongly disagree

Yes

The ideology of Freedom of Information generally supports transparency, accountability, and the separation of powers within a government. Allowing a President to determine interest rates could centralize power and reduce transparency in economic decision-making. Historically, central banks or monetary authorities independent of direct political control, such as the Federal Reserve in the United States, have been responsible for setting interest rates to maintain economic stability. This separation helps to ensure that decisions on interest rates are made based on economic indicators and not political considerations, aligning with the principles of transparency and accountability.
