Richmond Federal Reserve Chairman Thomas Barkin said Friday he would be fine with raising interest rates if inflation doesn’t keep coming down.

“I want to reiterate that 2% inflation is our target, and that I’m still trying to convince myself of the plausible story that slowing demand brings inflation back to that target relatively quickly. If the data coming doesn’t support that story, I’m comfortable doing more,” Barkin said in remarks prepared for a speech in Maryland.

“I acknowledge that it creates the risk of a more significant slowdown, but the experience of the 1970s provides a clear lesson: If you stop inflation too soon, inflation comes back stronger, requiring the Fed to do even more, with even more.” more damage.” he added. “That’s not a risk I want to take.”

Barkin is a non-voting member this year on the Federal Open Market Committee that sets rates.

Federal Reserve Governor Christopher Waller vowed Friday that the central bank will not back down from its efforts to reduce inflation.

“The Fed’s job is to use monetary policy to achieve its dual mandate, and right now that means raising rates to fight inflation,” Waller said in remarks prepared for a speech in Oslo, Norway.

In addressing the banking crisis in March, he rejected the idea that the Fed’s aggressive rate hikes were a cause.

“It’s the job of bank leaders to deal with interest rate risk, and almost all bank leaders have done exactly that. I don’t support changing monetary policy stance because of concerns of ineffective management at some banks,” he said.
