美国亚特兰大联邦储备银行行长拉斐尔-博斯蒂克(Raphael Bostic)周四表示,持续的经济增长将推动美国在2022年底接近充分就业。博斯蒂克预计美联储将在那时开始加息,此后加快加息步伐将“没有障碍”。
“我认为经济运行非常强劲……到2022年底将接近完全就业。2023年正常化不会有障碍,”博斯蒂克说。
博斯蒂克表示,他认为美联储已经达到了减少债券购买的基准,且目前的通胀和就业增长水平将保证明年首次加息,并在2023年加息三次。
博斯蒂克称,就实现充分就业和维持物价稳定的职责而言,美联储已经取得实质性的进一步进展。美国长期通胀有所上升,但还不至于失控。

Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta Governor Raphael Bostic (Raphael Bostic) said on Thursday that continued economic growth will push the US closer to full employment by the end of 2022. Bostic expects the Federal Reserve to start raising interest rates at that time, and there will be “no obstacles” in speeding up the pace of interest rate hikes thereafter.
“I think the economy is running very strongly... it will be close to full employment by the end of 2022. There will be no obstacles to normalization in 2023,” Bostic said.
Bostic said he believes the Federal Reserve has reached the benchmark for reducing bond purchases, and that the current level of inflation and employment growth will guarantee the first rate hike next year and three interest rate hikes in 2023.
Bostic said that the Federal Reserve has made substantial further progress as far as its responsibility to achieve full employment and maintain price stability is concerned. Long-term inflation in the US has risen, but it hasn't gotten out of control.
