Transcript

As before, the policy statement conveys just the facts. It's steering clear of forecasting. The uncertainty, however, does not mean a lack of clarity. For some households, businesses and market professionals, five years of high inflation have left a mistaken impression that's hard to shake. That the Fed's implicit inflation target can be cured by a single month of modest price decreases. Let me reiterate. There is no soft implicit target. There is no soft implicit target. Not on this committee's watch. There is only a target, and it's 2%. Not one of my FOMC colleagues is under any illusion. We've begun a new chapter, and we understand that the 5-plus years of inflation above target cannot be cured in nine weeks or by a single month of modest price decreases.
