The In�ation Shock of 2021
December 3, 2021
Presentation (pdf) | Press Release
During a presentation in Clayton, Mo., for the Missouri Bankers Association, St. Louis Fed
President Jim Bullard said that there has been an unexpected in�ation shock in the U.S.
during 2021, and that U.S. monetary policy has so far remained very accommodative. Asset
price in�ation has been substantial as well, he added.
He said that U.S. real GDP has fully recovered and that labor markets are quite strong and
likely to get stronger. He also noted that pandemic risk remains.
“These considerations suggest, on balance, that the Federal Open Market Committee
(FOMC) should remove monetary policy accommodation,” he said.
