William White was interviewed on 12 February 2026 by Kai Hoffman of Soar Financial Group. White felt that current measures of global economic health seemed satisfactory but there were causes of concern under the surface; rising debt levels, unstable bond markets and growing threats to the dominance of the US dollar. Recent tremors in financial markets could be warnings of bigger problems to come. The interview focussed on the problems posed to monetary policy by government debt overhang (“fiscal dominance”), the implications for the gold market, and the possibility of the widespread use of the mBridge system for making international payments in local currencies.
