The Committee believes that the accumulation of more information will help it determine the policy stance appropriate to ensure a timely return of inflation to the 2 percent goal. The Committee will deliver price stability.

In the meeting just concluded, the FOMC decided to raise the target range for the federal funds rate by a ¼ percentage point to 3¾ to 4 percent, in support of the Federal Reserve's dual mandate. The Committee is continuing its policy of maintaining ample reserves in the banking system.

At "Financial Innovation: Implications for Payments and Policy," an economic policy symposium sponsored by the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City, Jackson Hole, Wyoming.
It's not fashionable these days, but my view is that money has something important to do with monetary policy. We should pay attention to money created by the central bank and money that comes from the banking and financial systems.

If, as the Fed has long held, interest rate policy should be its primary monetary policy instrument, how much accommodation are we getting from the balance sheet? In all of this, our work is advancing at the Fed.
July 14, 2026 TestimonyHawkish
Before the Committee on Financial Services, U.S. House of Representatives.
In submitting the Board's Monetary Policy Report , I think of a long line of central bank chiefs who came before Congress in keeping with the Federal Reserve Act. I think also of earlier efforts, going back to the time of the Framers, to create a central bank that would endure and serve the nation's founding principles.

Federal Reserve Board, Washington.
I'm appointing a task force in each of five areas that are central to the broad conduct of monetary policy: First, Fed communications; second, the Fed's balance sheet; third, our use and reliance on existing data sources; fourth, productivity and jobs in an era of transformation; and last, the Fed's inflation frameworks. These subjects are timely, consequential, and, in my view, worthy of a fresh look.
