Challenges Ahead: Inflation and Policy Uncertainty

Despite a 100 basis points reduction in the policy rate through December, Kugler noted that inflation progress has been sluggish and uneven, with inflation rates still high. She also pointed out the uncertainties surrounding the economic impacts of proposed new policies. The Federal Reserve plans to monitor these developments closely before making future decisions.
