美联储票委:贸易战不足为惧
美国克利夫兰联储主席梅斯特表示:近期贸易战的紧张局势尚未导致她对美国经济的乐观看法,尽管贸易战的不确定性不会很快得到解决。总体而言,梅斯特表示支持今年和明年进一步逐渐加息。
美国克利夫兰联储主席梅斯特(Loretta Mester)周一(3月26日)表示:近期贸易战的紧张局势尚未导致她对美国经济的乐观看法。她说:“我正在监测贸易的发展,虽然我认为它们可能构成一定的风险,但这并没有改变我对整体经济(向好)的看法。”
特朗普政府最近宣布了对多个国家的高关税计划,不过也豁免了一部分国家关于钢和铁的高关税。她说,贸易的不确定性不会很快得到解决。
总体而言,梅斯特表示支持今年和明年进一步逐渐加息。
她说:“我们想留点时间让通胀达到目标水平;这就意味着我们的加息道路不能太陡峭(而是应该渐进)。”
梅斯特表示,劳动力市场的紧张程度很难说。她表示,她将自然失业率的预期下调了25个基点到4.5%,下调的部分原因是工资水平和通胀保持温和。
上周,美联储将目标利率范围上调了25个百分点,提高至1.5%-1.75%,这是自2015年12月以来政策利率第六次小幅上调。美联储官员们制定了一个缓慢但稳步上调利率的计划——到2020年将联邦基金利率提升至3.4%。
作为今年美联储利率委员会的票委,梅斯特预计今年和明年经济增速将达到2.5%以上。
她发言表示:“今年正是经济发展的又一个好年头,而货币政策制定者面临的任务就是根据这个健康的经济调整政策,这样经济的扩张才可持续。”
她还补充道,特朗普减税和增加联邦支出预计在未来几年促进经济增长0.5个百分点,但增长仍然存在“上行风险”——这些措施的影响可能会过度。
