Harker: I expect to raise interest 3 times this year

29 Mar 2018 01:02 PM

Patrick Harker, Federal Reserve Chairman in Philadelphia, said:

  • My previous expectations were to raise rates only twice.
  • Stronger inflation was the reason for changing my expectations.
  • We saw some strength of inflation.
  • I focus more on inflation data than on fiscal policy.
  • The risk of tariff increases is a source of uncertainty to projections and policies.
