Fed's Evans in the Q&A

  • We keep waiting for wages and inflation to pickup
  • We need to make sure we confidently get inflation up to our objective
  • At the moment, I think the downside risks are predominant

Evans has circled back to inflation at least 5 times in this appearance. He keeps saying he wants to see 2% inflation before he believes it will happen.

That's all for the main appearance but he will do a media Q&A next then appear on Bloomberg TV afterwards.
