Yesterday evening, during an accompanying press conference on the results of the FOMC meeting on monetary policy, the Head of the Fed Fed J. Powell said:
Household spending is recovering thanks to timely support for fiscal policy;
Household expenses recouped about half the fall;
There was strong employment growth in May/June;
The contraction of the economy at the end of Q2 will be the largest in history;
The Fed will do its best for as long as it needs to;
The future dynamics of the economy are extremely uncertain;
Recovery is unlikely until people feel safe;
We see that the growth of new cases of the virus is putting pressure on the economy;
We will use our tools, including swap lines until we are sure of the recovery;
The Fed did not provide credit to the extent that it was originally planned;
The markets worked again as soon as we announced the launch of certain credit programs, so we didn't have to use them. However, it's important that they stay on standby until the Central Bank is convinced that the economic downturn has been overcome;
The current monetary policy is in line with the situation, but we are ready to adjust it as necessary;
Additional fiscal support required;
Overall, the data indicates a slowdown in the recovery rate;
Further dynamics of the economy will largely depend on the development of the virus situation and the measures taken to contain it;
A pandemic is a disinflationary shock. For a while, we're not going to fight inflation, but disinflationary pressure;
We're not even thinking about raising the interest rate.
