remarks by dignitaries
Hawkish New York Fed President Williams said in a speech last night that one more rate hike was a “reasonable starting point.” “Inflationary pressures have eased but are still well above the Fed’s target of 2%,” he said. He also dismissed his view that the March financial crisis was due to the Fed’s radical rate hikes.
On the other hand, US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen emphasized in a speech on the 11th that “the US banking system remains sound and the global financial system is also strong.” On inflation, which remains high, there have been welcome signs of a slowdown over the past six months, he said.
IMF Outlook
The IMF (International Monetary Fund) released its latest global economic outlook on the 11th. The global economic growth rate for 2023 is 2.8%, down 0.1% from the previous forecast (January). Next year we will also revise it downward by 0.1% to 3%. He said the global economic outlook was “very skewed to the downside” after the bankruptcy of the US bank in March. It also warned of greater uncertainty and risks than in 2022, citing continued financial tightening and pressures from the war in Ukraine, combined with stress in the financial sector.
