Fed's Powell expects political pushback from rate hikes, rejects climate mandate
Investing.com -- The Federal Reserve is bracing for political resistance as its attempts to bring down inflation hit growth and bolster the ranks of jobless.
"Restoring price stability when inflation is high can require measures that are not popular in the short term as we raise interest rates to slow the economy," Fed Chair Jerome Powell said in prepared opening remarks at a panel discussion in Sweden, where he was attending a conference on central bank independence. The remarks were published in advance on the Fed's website.
However, Powell said that "the benefits of independent monetary policy in the U.S. context are well understood and broadly accepted," and said he was confident of the Fed's ability to take "necessary measures."
