BlackRock CEO Warns of Rising Inflation and Slower Tech Growth Amid Policy Pressures
BlackRock CEO Larry Fink believes that despite the turbulence shaking today’s markets, the long-term forces shaping the financial landscape remain on course.
Speaking in a recent CNBC appearance, Fink emphasized that major drivers like AI, data infrastructure, and large-scale economic transformation continue to hold strong—even if their pace of development may face temporary setbacks.
He acknowledged that external pressures, such as tariffs introduced under the Trump administration and growing fears of a recession, could slow down the implementation of some forward-looking projects. Still, he maintains confidence in the broader trajectory.
Fink noted that while inflation risks are not being fully priced in by the market, they are being compounded by policy decisions.

He referenced studies suggesting that tariffs could significantly impact costs in key sectors like housing, potentially pushing the price of new homes up by over a quarter—further straining already stretched affordability.
This isn’t a crisis brought on by a global event or systemic collapse, Fink argued, but rather one created through deliberate choices. Once seen as a source of global stability, he said, the U.S. is now playing a very different role on the world stage.
