MNI BRIEF: Fed To Add Uncertainty, Risk Charts to SEP

New charts to be added to the FOMC's quarterly Summary of Economic Projections starting next week will illustrate officials' characterization of risks to their outlook as well as their degree of uncertainty, the Fed said Friday.

Example charts released Friday show more policymakers saw risks to growth, employment and inflation as weighted to the downside starting in 2019 than those who saw upside risks. Meanwhile, assessments of uncertainty spiked this year, to levels about as high as those during the financial crisis.
