FED nastavile da podižu referentnu kamatnu stopu – 1.75%. Ekonomska aktivnost nastavila je da raste po umerenoj stopi (u srednjem roku), što jača tržište rada i podstiče kreiranje novih radna mesta. Ukupna inflacija, osim hrane i energije, ostala je ispod 2 procenta što je u granicama cilja. Komitet (FOMC) očekuje da će se ekonomski uslovi postepeno razvijati na način koji će garantovati postepeno povećanje referentne kamatne stope u budućnosti. Tih dana, na sednicama centralnih banaka Engleske i Novog Zelanda nije došlo do promene referentnih kamatnih stopa.
Federal Reserve Board – Federal Reserve issues FOMC statement
The FED continued to raise the reference interest rate – 1.75%. Economic activity continued to grow at a moderate rate (in the medium term), which strengthens the labor market and encourages the creation of new jobs. Total inflation, excluding food and energy, remained below 2 percent, which is within the target range. The Committee (FOMC) expects that economic conditions will gradually develop in a way that will warrant gradual increases in the benchmark interest rate in the future. On those days, there was no change in reference interest rates at the meetings of the central banks of England and New Zealand.
