Inflation Then and Now

Author

Abstract

Labor market conditions remain solid, while inflation remains somewhat elevated. It makes sense to stay modestly restrictive until we are more confident inflation is returning to our 2 percent target. I recognize the fight against inflation has been long. But it is critical that we remain steadfast. It is tempting to focus on gaming out short-term factors, but it’s hard to make significant monetary policy changes amidst such uncertainty. So, I prefer to wait and see how this uncertainty plays out and how the economy responds.
