On the record

September 17, 2026 SpeechHawkish

Opening Remarks

This recalibration brings policy closer to what I believe is needed to return inflation to 2 percent at a pace that appropriately balances inflation risks with risks to the labor market. Looking ahead, if conditions evolve as I expect, some modest further tightening may be warranted.

Economic Trends and Opportunities for Philadelphia

So, I am feeling cautiously optimistic on inflation, and I see a decent chance that we will end the year with inflation that is close to 2 percent on a run-rate basis; that is, 12-month inflation may still be a little elevated, but three-month inflation will be 2 percent by the end of the year. Yesterday's CPI inflation release for December doesn't change my assessment.

Economic Outlook

Given my views on tariffs and inflation, monetary policy should be focused on balancing risks to maximum employment and price stability which means moving policy towards a more neutral stance.

September 18, 2025 SpeechDovish

Economic Outlook

And, as I think about monetary policy over the longer arc, I'll be focused on how to appropriately balance the risks to both inflation and the labor market, guided by my commitment to deliver on the FOMC's price stability mandate and get inflation all the way back to 2 percent.

At that time, he had, in addition to many other noteworthy responsibilities, the important job of closing the special door to the FOMC meeting room after Chairman Bernanke entered. I am glad to say that Chris's talents are now being used to open doors to dialogue, collaboration, and innovation that drive efficiency, resilience, and progress.

Thoughts on the U.S. Economy and the Year Ahead

So, I am feeling cautiously optimistic on inflation, and I see a decent chance that we will end the year with inflation that is close to 2 percent on a run-rate basis; that is, 12-month inflation may still be a little elevated, but three-month inflation will be 2 percent by the end of the year.
