[新聞] FED聲明原文
Information received since the Federal Open Market Committee met in June
indicates that economic growth so far this year has been considerably slower
than the Committee had expected. Indicators suggest a deterioration in overall
labor market conditions in recent months, and the unemployment rate has moved
up. Household spending has flattened out, investment in nonresidential
structures is still weak, and the housing sector remains depressed. However,
business investment in equipment and software continues to expand. Temporary
factors, including the damping effect of higher food and energy prices on
consumer purchasing power and spending as well as supply chain disruptions
associated with the tragic events in Japan, appear to account for only some of
the recent weakness in economic activity. Inflation picked up earlier in the
year, mainly reflecting higher prices for some commodities and imported goods,
as well as the supply chain disruptions. More recently, inflation has moderated
as prices of energy and some commodities have declined from their earlier peaks.
Longer-term inflation expectations have remained stable.
Consistent with its statutory mandate, the Committee seeks to foster maximum
employment and price stability. The Committee now expects a somewhat slower
pace of recovery over coming quarters than it did at the time of the previous
meeting and anticipates that the unemployment rate will decline only gradually
toward levels that the Committee judges to be consistent with its dual mandate.
Moreover, downside risks to the economic outlook have increased. The Committee
also anticipates that inflation will settle, over coming quarters, at levels
at or below those consistent with the Committee's dual mandate as the effects
of past energy and other commodity price increases dissipate further. However,
the Committee will continue to pay close attention to the evolution of
inflation and inflation expectations.
To promote the ongoing economic recovery and to help ensure that inflation,
over time, is at levels consistent with its mandate, the Committee decided
today to keep the target range for the federal funds rate at 0 to 1/4 percent.
The Committee currently anticipates that economic conditions--including low
rates of resource utilization and a subdued outlook for inflation over the
medium run--are likely to warrant exceptionally low levels for the federal
funds rate at least through mid-2013. The Committee also will maintain its
existing policy of reinvesting principal payments from its securities holdings.
The Committee will regularly review the size and composition of its securities
holdings and is prepared to adjust those holdings as appropriate.
The Committee discussed the range of policy tools available to promote a stronger
economic recovery in a context of price stability. It will continue to assess
the economic outlook in light of incoming information and is prepared to employ
these tools as appropriate.
Voting for the FOMC monetary policy action were: Ben S. Bernanke, Chairman;
William C. Dudley, Vice Chairman; Elizabeth A. Duke; Charles L. Evans; Sarah
Bloom Raskin; Daniel K. Tarullo; and Janet L. Yellen.
Voting against the action were: Richard W. Fisher, Narayana Kocherlakota,
and Charles I. Plosser, who would have preferred to continue to describe
economic conditions as likely to warrant exceptionally low levels for the
federal funds rate for an extended period.
