Another voice of the Fed in the middle of the storm
The president of the Federal Reserve of New York, John Williams, expressed his concern for the possible inflationary impact of current commercial policies of the Trump administration.
He warned that these policies could accelerate inflation this year and emphasized the importance of the role of the US central bank to prevent long -term expectations on price pressures getting out of control.
In his speech before the Chamber of Commerce of Puerto Rico, Williams said that economic results are unpredictable due to the doubtful effects of recently announced tariffs and other policy changes.
He pointed out that the solid start of the economy this year could be reversed due to the decision of President Donald Trump to impute strong imports to imports to a wide range of US commercial partners.
Williams predicted that tariffs could boost inflation to a range of between 3.5% and 4% this year, a significant increase with respect to the current level of the Personal Consumption Expenditure Price Index (CPI), the main inflation indicator of the FED, which stood at 2.5% interannual in February.
He also expressed concern about the slowdown in the growth of the workforce due to the reduction of immigration and the combined effects of uncertainty and tariffs. Despite the increase in short -term inflationary expectations, Williams reiterated his commitment to achieve the inflation objective of 2% of the Federal Reserve.
