The U.S. Federal Reserve allows “average inflation” to be higher than 2%
US Federal Reserve Chairman Powell stated at the annual meeting of global central bankers held in Jackson Hole that in order to ensure economic growth, the bureau will allow “average inflation” to exceed the 2% target for a period of time. However, the bureau will not use any specific method to bind the definition of “average inflation”, and the relevant policies will not be determined by any formula. In the long run, the Fed will still maintain an average inflation of 2%. Once inflation rises above the target level, the bureau will take action without hesitation.
