Chair Janet Yellen and FOMC panelists addressed critical shifts in central bank communication, debating the efficacy of dot forecasts versus probability distributions while navigating the transition from a zero-rate regime to imminent tightening. Discussions on economic slack highlighted a pivot toward viewing labor force participation gaps as largely structural, sparking debate over secular stagnation theories and the risks of anchoring policy to negative equilibrium rates. Amidst record corporate debt levels and a historic divergence between the Fed's normalization efforts and the ECB's accommodative stance, experts forecast a gradual rate hike trajectory for 2016 despite persistent uncertainty regarding future inflation dynamics.

Global Models for Financing America's Infrastructure
Dale, Stephen Goldsmith, Sam Barron, William Reed, Sarah Clark, Sean Glodek, Mike, Lawrence Gottlieb
A global infrastructure summit highlights a critical $3 trillion U.S. investment gap and the urgent need to shift from public financing to private capital models like Public-Private Partnerships to meet rising demand. Experts contrast the U.S. lag in social infrastructure financing against international success stories from Canada and Russia, emphasizing how structural tax barriers currently prevent institutional investors from accessing stable, long-term yield opportunities. With 41 new projects in the pipeline and emerging legislative pushes to expand tax-exempt tools, the panel anticipates a surge in availability-payment deals that transfer construction risk to the private sector while addressing a significant mismatch between public financing costs and investor return expectations.
