Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) Releases Statement
The Federal Open Market Committee approved the following statement for release by a 10 – 2 vote:
The FOMC decided to maintain the target range for the federal funds rate at 3-3/4 to 4 percent, in support of the Federal Reserve's dual mandate. The FOMC is continuing its policy of maintaining ample reserves in the banking system.
Economic activity is expanding at a strong pace. While uncertainty remains elevated owing, in part, to geopolitical developments, domestic spending has been resilient. Productivity growth is strong, and capital investment is robust. Job gains have kept pace with the workforce, and the unemployment rate has changed little.
Inflation remains elevated. The accumulation of more information will help the FOMC determine the policy stance appropriate to ensure a timely return of inflation to the FOMC's 2 percent goal. The FOMC will deliver price stability.
