Atlanta Fed President Raphael Bostic said policy makers should be mindful and proceed carefully in tightening policy to bring inflation down. “Uncertainties shroud the economic outlook on virtually every front, from the pandemic to war in Ukraine to supply constraints. Monetary policy makers must be mindful of those uncertainties and proceed carefully in tightening policy.” Furthermore, Bostic stated, “As we expeditiously return monetary policy to a more neutral stance to get inflation closer to our 2% target, I plan to proceed with intention and without recklessness,” adding, “We have seen throughout the pandemic that events and market shifts can happen quickly.”
