About this work
The Silicon Valley Bank failure increasingly looked like a delayed effect of monetary tightening rather than an additional credit shock in June 2023. Robin Brooks and Jonathan Fortun argue that lending standards had not tightened separately beyond the existing rate cycle. That interpretation supported their contemporary forecast of a global soft landing and solid emerging market capital flows as inflation eased.
