(MENAFN) Federal Reserve Governor Michelle Bowman stated on Thursday that peak inflation in the US could need an increased peak interest rate level from the central bank.
"We would have a slightly higher rate than I had anticipated in September," she stated at investment banking company KBW's 9th yearly Chief Executive Plan Forum hosted in New York.
The Fed hiked interest rates by 75 basis points on the 2nd of November for a fourth time in a row, increasing the aimed range for the federal funds rate to a number from 3.75 percent and 4 percent -- its peakiest since January 14 years ago.
Bowman, who is an elective member of the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) in 2022, stated that interest rates could stay peak until she witnesses the movements of the FOMC having an important impact on inflation.
The Fed governor, on the other hand, did not exclude easier rate surges in future gathering and stated that it is going to turn out to be suitable for the FOMC "to slow the pace of rate increases" as it is going to attempt to understand how high the target range would climb.
