Removing Monetary Policy Accommodation
March 2, 2022
Presentation (pdf) | Press Release
During a presentation for Greater St. Louis, Inc., St. Louis Fed President Jim Bullard said
that the U.S. real economy has more than fully recovered from the pandemic recession and
is expected to grow faster than its longer-run potential growth rate in 2022. Meanwhile, U.S.
in�ation is running well above the FOMC’s target.
Current U.S. monetary policy is set at peak accommodation, which is putting upward
pressure on in�ation, Bullard said. “This situation calls for rapid withdrawal of policy
accommodation in order to preserve the best chance for a long and durable expansion,” he
added.
