Tom Barkin
President, Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond
“If you choose not to do forward guidance, you don't do forward guidance.”
“I'm definitely 100% insistent on getting inflation under control. And I think it's fair to hold that mirror against what we're doing... You can take a 65 month view or... a 47 month view followed by an 18 month view... And then of course you've had this series of external shocks, whether it be AI or tariffs or oil price increases and that's taken inflation right back up... On the other hand, you say, don't give me your excuses. It's been 65 months... And maybe rates aren't that restrictive.”
