گزیده ای از نکات مهم مینوت کمیته بازار باز فدرال رزرو که امروز منتشر شد

بیانیه نشست کمیته بازار فدرال رزرو که در روزهای 11 و 12 اوت برگزار شده بود، امروز منتشر شد…قسمتهای مهمتر این مینوت رو براتون دستچین کردم:

Consumer spending had been on the soft side lately

 

real disposable income showed a noticeably slower increase in 2008 and the first half of 2009 than previously thought. By themselves, the revised income estimates would imply a lower forecast of

consumer spending in coming quarters

 

But this negative influence on aggregate demand was roughly offset by other factors, including higher household net worth as a result of the rise in equity prices since March, lower corporate bond rates and spreads, a lower dollar, and a stronger forecast for foreign economic activity

 

The future path of the federal funds rate would continue to depend on the Committee’s evolving

outlook, but, for now, given their forecasts for only a gradual upturn in economic activity

 

 

the federal funds rate would need to be maintained at an exceptionally low level for an extended period

 

downside risks to the economic outlook now considerably reduced but the economic recovery likely to be damped

 

the Committee also agreed that neither expansion nor contraction of its program of asset purchases was warranted at this time

 

 

موفق باشید.
