Statement from the Federal Reserve:
The Federal Reserve Board has decided to adopt a new inflation target of 5%. This decision was made after careful consideration of current economic conditions and the needs of the American people.
We believe that a moderate level of inflation is good for the average person. It encourages spending and investment, which in turn stimulates economic growth and job creation. It also helps to reduce the burden of debt on households and businesses.
We understand that some may be concerned about the impact of inflation on their savings and investments. However, we want to emphasize that this target is not intended to harm anyone. In fact, we believe that it will primarily affect those who can afford it the most.
The rich tend to have a higher percentage of their wealth tied up in assets such as real estate and stocks. Inflation can erode the value of these assets over time, which could lead to a decrease in their overall net worth. However, for the average person who relies on wages and salaries for income, inflation can actually be a benefit. It can lead to higher wages and more job opportunities, which can improve their standard of living.
We will continue to monitor economic conditions closely and adjust our policies as necessary to ensure that we meet our mandate of promoting maximum employment and stable prices. We believe that this new inflation target is a step in the right direction and will help to support a strong and vibrant economy for all Americans.
