The Federal Reserve and the Economic Outlook: A Conversation with Christopher J. Waller

Since its peak in the summer of 2022, the headline inflation rate has since moderated to around 3 percent, still higher than the Federal Reserve’s 2 percent target rate. How much longer should the Fed persist in its contractionary monetary policy? What does resilient consumer demand and a strong labor market indicate for the future of the US economy? Will an extended period of elevated interest rates tip the economy into recession, or will economic policymakers be able to engineer a “soft landing”? Federal Reserve Governor Christopher J. Waller will join AEI’s Michael R. Strain for a discussion about the nation’s economic outlook and the challenges the Federal Reserve faces.  Submit questions to [email protected] or on Twitter with #AskAEIEcon.
