Inside 'Putin's yacht': Lavish interiors of £500million luxury vessel docked in Tuscany

Thank you, Sandy,1 for the excellent presentation on economic developments in the region and for the invitation to speak to the Detroit Regional Chamber this morning. The Chicago Fed has been very fortunate to have you on our Detroit Branch board of directors since 2017. I’ve been very grateful for your many contributions, among which of course are your keen insights on the Detroit and Michigan economies. These and other information we pick up from business and community leaders—many at events such as this one—are very important inputs into my thinking on monetary policy. Before I begin my formal remarks, I want to acknowledge the substantial hardships the Ukrainian people are enduring as a result of Russia’s invasion. This is just an awful event. May the people of Ukraine and all who are affected by this crisis remain strong and as safe as possible.
