Geldpolitik: „Wir müssen sicher sein, dass die Inflation sich auf unser Ziel zubewegt“ – Warsh offen für Zinserhöhung
Beim Notenbank-Treffen in Jackson Hole gab sich Warsh überraschend „falkenhaft“. Und er rückte die Bedeutung der Geldmenge wieder in den Fokus. Ein Überblick über die wichtigsten Punkte.
New York and Düsseldorf – Once a year, the quiet Jackson Hole in the US state of Wyoming transforms into the most important stage for monetary policy. On this Friday, rain had fallen in the picturesque surroundings of Strömen. However, everyone's attention was now on the new head of the US Federal Reserve (Fed). His speech took place in a dry conference room, after the last rate hike in July had sparked much criticism towards Fed Chair Kevin Warsh.
He began by acknowledging his critics, at least partially. Warsh drew inspiration from his hikes with former Fed officials Donald Kohn and Ben Bernanke, a nod to the term "hike" in monetary policy, which refers to an interest rate increase. He signaled a hawkish tone, a reference to advocates of a tighter interest policy.
