Fed Vice Chair Warns of Challenges on Road to Inflation Target Federal Reserve Vice Chair for Supervision Michael Barr commented on the economic challenges ahead, noting the U.S.’s path back to 2% inflation “may be a bumpy one.” Despite a year-on-year consumer price increase of 3.1% and a core inflation rate holding steady at 3.9%, largely propelled by rising shelter costs, Barr expressed a cautious optimism. He reaffirmed the Fed’s commitment to steering the economy back to a 2% inflation target. However, he emphasized that the journey towards this goal is anticipated to be fraught with obstacles, as underscored by the latest data. « Previous Article Next Article » Share This Article Choose Your Platform: Facebook Twitter Google Plus Linkedin Related Posts Cryptocurrency Market Climbs Over $2 Trillion, Led by Bitcoin READ MORE Leading Economic Index No Longer Predicts U.S. Recession -Conference Board READ MORE The economy might be booming, but housing is in a recession: Top real estate CEO says he’s never seen anything like it in 20 years READ MORE Jamie Dimon Warns of Imminent Economic Cliff Due to U.S. Debt READ MORE The Fight Against Counterfeit Dollars: What You Need toKnow READ MORE Add a Comment Cancel replyYour email address will not be published.
