Vosh: Federal Reserve perlu mengembangkan kerangka kerja baru untuk mengatasi masalah inflasi

Gold Financial reports that on April 21, Federal Reserve Chair nominee Waller stated that if appointed and leading the Federal Reserve, he would promote comprehensive reforms in policy making. Waller told the Senate committee, “In my view, the Federal Reserve needs to undergo fundamental policy reforms. The mistakes made in addressing inflation during the COVID-19 pandemic require such reforms, which I believe means a shift in policy implementation. I think this calls for a different, entirely new inflation framework.” Waller said we need new tools and new communication methods, mentioning forward guidance, economic forecasts, and dot plots. He said the Federal Reserve should wait until the meeting to issue statements because forecasts could hinder decision-making.
