Why Markets Panic When Central Banks Speak

Ever wondered who controls your mortgage rate, interest rates, job market, and even grocery prices? It’s not the president, but a powerful group of unelected bankers called the central bank. In this video, we explain what a central bank is, how it works, and why central banks like the Federal Reserve, European Central Bank, People's Bank of China, Reserve Bank of India, and Bank of Japan have more control over your money than you think.

You’ll learn how central banks raise and cut interest rates, print money, supervise commercial banks, and influence inflation, recession, and stock markets with just one speech. We also explain Quantitative Easing (QE), the 2008 financial crisis, Japan’s deflation, and what happens when central banks get it wrong.

Finally, who really owns the central bank? Why is the Federal Reserve partly owned by private banks? Are central banks truly independent? Using simple language, real-life examples, and clear visuals, we make even the most complex economic system easy to understand.
