Tempting FAIT: Inflation Expectations And The Feds New Monetary Framework
from the St Louis Fed
– this post authored by Michael McCracken, Assistant Vice President and Economist; and Aaron Amburgey, Research Associate
In August 2020, the Federal Reserve announced a change in its approach to monetary policy and how this relates to its mandate of price stability. Previously, a 2% inflation target meant that if inflation started to rise toward 2%, the Federal Reserve would raise the federal funds rate (FFR) to prevent inflation from overshooting 2%. In practice, this strategy not only prevented inflation from rising above 2% but also kept inflation from even reaching 2%. It is also believed that this approach to price stability hampered employment growth, particularly for low- and moderate-income communities, by slowing economic growth more generally.[ 1]
