MNI BRIEF: Williams Says R-Star Hasn't Changed Much - BBG TV

New York Fed President John Williams said Thursday the post-pandemic economy will be close to the pre-pandemic economy and it appears that the long-run neutral interest rate hasn't changed much.

"My view of r-star hasn't fundamentally changed from what it was before," he said in an interview with Bloomberg, while also discussing the underlying factors driving long-run neutral interest rates. "So far, a lot of these kinds of factors that fundamentally drive our economy over the longer-run, they look to be getting back to similar to where they were before the pandemic."
