WASHINGTON, March 7 (Reuters) – The FederalReserve will likely need to raise interest rates morethan expected in response to recent strong data and isprepared to move in larger steps if the “totality” ofincoming information suggests tougher measures areneeded to control inflation, Fed Chair Jerome Powelltold U.S. lawmakers on Tuesday.
路透华盛顿3月7日电——美联储(Fed)主席杰罗姆•鲍威尔(Jerome Powell)周二对美国国会议员表示,为应对近期强劲的经济数据,美联储可能需要提高利率,幅度超过预期,并准备采取更大的举措,如果收到的“整体”信息表明需要采取更严厉的措施来控制通胀的话。
“The latest economic data have come in stronger thanexpected, which suggests that the ultimate level ofinterest rates is likely to be higher than previouslyanticipated,” the U.S. central bank chief said in hissemi-annual testimony before the Senate BankingCommittee.”
最新经济数据强于预期,暗示最终利率水准可能高于先前预期,“美国央行行长在参议院银行委员会半年一度的听证会上表示。
委员会中的民主党人关注的焦点是企业利润高企可能在持续通胀中扮演的角色。马萨诸塞州参议员伊莉莎白·华伦指责美联储通过加息“拿人民的生命赌博”。根据美联储最新的预测,加息将导致失业率上升逾一个百分点一一这一损失在过去与经济衰退有关。
“You claim there is only one solution:Lay off millions of workers,”Warren said.“你声称只有一个解决办法:解雇数百万工人,”沃伦说。
“Will working people be better off if we just walk away from our jobs and inflation rebounds?”Powell retorted.鲍威尔反驳道:“如果我们离开工作岗位,通胀反弹,劳动人民的生活会更好吗?”。
