Goldilocks Economy refers to an economic environment that is not too hot (overheating with high inflation) and not too cold (recession or stagnation), but “just right”—allowing for stable growth with moderate inflation.
This term is derived from the children’s story “Goldilocks and the Three Bears,” where Goldilocks prefers things that are neither too extreme in one direction nor the other.
A Goldilocks economy is often characterized by:
• Steady economic growth
• Low to moderate inflation
• Low unemployment
• Accommodative monetary policy (e.g., low interest rates)
This environment is typically favorable for financial markets, as it supports earnings growth without leading to overheating or the need for restrictive monetary policy. Markets tend to perform well in these conditions since both bonds and equities may rise due to balanced economic expansion.
