On Thursday, Federal Reserve President Jerome Powell said that the United States could enter more frequent supply shocks and unstable inflation, a transparent communication practice from the Central Bank.

“It is a critical question of how to promote the wider understanding of the uncertainty that is mainly encountered by the economy.”

That’s what he will say “difficult challenging for the economy and central banks.”

He said that the highest interest rate for inflation can reflect the opportunity that inflation can move more volatile than in 2010. In the intermediate period.

“In times of more frequent, or more inappropriate shocks, effective communication requires that we convey uncertainty surrounding the economy and worldview.

He noted that the level of Fed’s benchmark policy is currently better than zero, currently 4.25% to 4.5%.

Powell stressed that it is important to maintain inflation expectations by 2%, and it has also been a peculiarity of past assessments.

Feder is reviewing his monetary policy framework, in one practice it works every five years. Back in 2020, during the last review Fed was worried about pushing the risk of deflation.

At that time, Fed says that the following periods in which inflation was stable less than 2 percent, it was aimed to climb 2 percent in a while.

After leaving the inflation, the defense promised that the idea of ​​intentionally, moderate oceans proved to be inappropriate for their political discussions and remained so far.
