미국 연준은 2일 FOMC에서 정책성명서를 채택했다.
이날 정책성명서중 가장 주목을 끈 표현은 강하다는 뜻의 'strong'이라는 표현이다.
종전의 ‘견고하다(solid)’에서 강하다(strong) 로 바뀌었다.
그만큼 미국경제 실물 성장이 잘되고 있다는 뜻인 동시에 금리인상의 때가 되었음을 시사하는 것이다.
다음은 연준의 정책성명서이다.
미국 연준 금리동결과 향후 금리인상계획에 관난 미국의 입장이 잘 나와있다.
For release at 2:00 p.m. EDT
Information received since the Federal Open Market Committee met in June indicates that the labor market has continued to strengthen and that economic activity has been rising at a strong rate. Job gains have been strong, on average, in recent months, and the unemployment rate has stayed low. Household spending and business fixed investment have grown strongly. On a 12-month basis, both overall inflation and inflation for items other than food and energy remain near 2 percent. Indicators of longer-term inflation expectations are little changed, on balance.
Consistent with its statutory mandate, the Committee seeks to foster maximum employment and price stability. The Committee expects that further gradual increases in the target range for the federal funds rate will be consistent with sustained expansion of economic activity, strong labor market conditions, and inflation near the Committee's symmetric 2 percent objective over the medium term. Risks to the economic outlook appear roughly balanced.
In view of realized and expected labor market conditions and inflation, the Committee decided to maintain the target range for the federal funds rate at 1-3/4 to 2 percent. The stance of monetary policy remains accommodative, thereby supporting strong labor market conditions and a sustained return to 2 percent inflation.
In determining the timing and size of future adjustments to the target range for the federal funds rate, the Committee will assess realized and expected economic conditions relative to its maximum employment objective and its symmetric 2 percent inflation objective. This assessment will take into account a wide range of information, including measures of labor market conditions, indicators of inflation pressures and inflation expectations, and readings on financial and international developments.
