  • Earlier, the Fed's Bostic, Collins & Mester have been involved in a moderated discussion, with the key points from each; Bostic stated that the economy is incredibly resilient and that it will take longer for interest rates to influence decisions, Mester believes economic growth will be above trend this year, inflation will take longer to decrease, and current policy is well-positioned but needs monitoring while Collins emphasized the importance of patience in policy adjustments, noting that it will take longer to see progress and that a methodical, holistic approach is needed.
