Fed's Lacker: QE2 end high-water mark of stimulus
WASHINGTON -- The end of the Fed's $600 billion bond-buying program at the end of June should be the "high-water mark" of the Fed's stimulus efforts in this cycle, said Jeffrey Lacker, the president of the Richmond Federal Reserve Bank on Tuesday. The focus going forward will be on the timing and pace of the withdrawal of the stimulus, Lacker said in a speech to business leaders here. Lacker said that the Fed must bear in mind that inflation can rise even if the level of economic activity has returned to its pre-recession trend. "To prevent that, it may be necessary to initiate policy tightening well before the unemployment rate has fallen to a rate we would expect to see over the long run," he said. Lacker continued to be upbeat about the economy. He said it is now clear that the unemployment rate is headed in the right direction. Higher gasoline prices should not dampen consumer spending for long. Lacker said growth should continue for the next few years at a solid above-trend pace although the rate of growth may fluctuate from quarter to quarter. "We should be careful not to read too much into every month's little data jiggle," he said. |
