Fed's George: Fed should not delay interest rate hikes

Federal Reserve Bank Of Kansas City President Esther George

• Fed should not delay interest rate hikes
• Keeping rates low risks financial stability; rise in commercial real estate prices bears watching
• Gradual hikes sooner better than steep hikes later, as steep hikes often cause recessions
• Global economy appears more vulnerable; Fed could pause hike cycle or otherwise respond if needed
