Powell: No Need to Tighten Policy Above Sustainable Employment Level, New Framework Aims to Adapt to Various Economic Conditions

BlockBeats News, August 22nd, Federal Reserve Chairman Powell stated that the Fed still believes that relying solely on employment being above its maximum sustainable level is an uncertain estimate and may not necessarily require policy tightening. If a tight labor market poses risks to price stability, proactive action may be necessary. The previous framework placed too much emphasis on specific economic conditions, which may have led to some confusion; the new framework aims to adapt to various economic conditions.
