Federal Reserve's Hamarck said that given persistent inflation, it is appropriate for the Fed to take action now to lower inflation. The top concern at present is that the public will lose confidence in the inflation rate returning to 2%, and she warned that inflationary psychology may begin to take shape. The latest inflation data is in line with expectations, but she does not currently believe that Fed policy is constraining the economy, nor has any clear restrictive policy been observed in financial conditions for the time being. She noted that businesses and the public are very concerned about inflation and cost-of-living issues. In addition, the neutral interest rate level she deems appropriate is higher than that of other Fed officials, and she emphasized that the U.S. Treasury has its own goals, while the Federal Reserve will maintain independent operations to achieve its own objectives.
