Dallas Federal Reserve President Lorie Logan on Thursday became the first of Fed Chairman Kevin Warsh's new colleagues to call publicly for an interest-rate hike, laying the groundwork for a possible dissent at the central bank's next rate-setting meeting in just under two weeks.
“Inflation has been too high, for too long, and does not appear to be on track all the way back to 2%,” Logan said in remarks prepared for delivery in Houston. “I currently believe modestly higher interest rates would better balance the outlook and risks for the FOMC’s maximum employment and price stability goals.”
达拉斯联邦储备银行行长洛丽·洛根周四成为美联储主席凯文·沃什的新同事中首位公开呼吁加息的人，为央行不到两周后的下次利率决策会议上可能出现反对意见埋下了伏笔。
“通胀已经太高、太久，看起来并未走上完全回归2%的轨道，”洛根在为休斯顿演讲准备的讲话稿中说。“我目前认为，适度提高利率将更好地平衡FOMC最大就业和物价稳定目标的前景与风险。”
