IMF official fears Fed may have to lift rates even in low-inflation environment
The Federal Reserve might be forced to tighten monetary policy to address financial stability risks, a senior International Monetary Fund official told MarketWatch in an interview.
“With global financial conditions still accommodative notwithstanding their tightening, financial vulnerabilities will likely to continue to build,” the IMF said. To be clear, however, Adrian said the IMF supports the Fed’s pivot to a patient policy stance at the beginning of the year. The U.S. central bank had room to pivot because inflation was so low and financial market vulnerabilities in the U.S. were moderate.
