Federal Reserve Board of Governors Outlines Key Policy Priorities
Monetary Policy to Address Inflation and Employment
The Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the Fed) has announced a set of key policy priorities to address current economic challenges.
Taming Inflation
The Fed's primary focus will be on controlling inflation, which has risen to a 40-year high. The Board will use monetary tools, such as interest rate hikes, to slow down economic activity and reduce price pressures.
Balancing Employment
While addressing inflation, the Fed will also prioritize maintaining employment levels. The board acknowledges the risk of raising interest rates too quickly, which could lead to job losses.
Additional Measures
In addition to monetary policy, the Fed will explore other measures to support economic stability. These may include providing guidance to the financial sector and working with the government to address supply chain disruptions.
