Stagflation? Fed sees higher inflation and an economy growing by less than 2% this year

The Federal Reserve has recently downgraded its economic outlook, projecting a growth rate of less than 2% for the U.S. economy. This marks a significant decrease from the previous projection of 2.1% in December. At the same time, the Fed has raised its inflation outlook, anticipating core prices to grow at a 2.8% annual pace, up from the previous estimate of 2.5%. These adjustments suggest that the central bank is concerned about the possibility of stagflation, where inflation rises as economic growth slows.

In a statement, the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) acknowledged that there is increased uncertainty surrounding the economic outlook and emphasized that they are monitoring risks to both sides of their dual mandate. The ongoing trade tensions initiated by President Donald Trump, particularly the tariffs imposed on key U.S. trading partners, are expected to drive up prices of goods and services, potentially impacting consumer spending.

Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell highlighted the impact of tariffs on inflation, stating that there has been a noticeable increase in prices. He also noted that there is a growing level of uncertainty and concerns about downside risks among households and businesses. Despite these challenges, the Fed still anticipates making two rate cuts for the remainder of 2025, as indicated by the median projection.

The dot plot, which reflects the rate projections of FOMC members, suggests that the benchmark fed funds rate could reach 3.9% by the end of the year, with the central bank maintaining its key interest rate within a range of 4.25%-4.5%. The Fed’s view on rate changes has become more hawkish, with four members now projecting no rate adjustments in 2025, compared to only one official in January.

Overall, the Fed’s latest targets signal a cautious approach to monetary policy in light of economic uncertainties and inflationary pressures. The central bank remains vigilant in its efforts to balance economic growth and price stability, aiming to support sustainable expansion while managing the risks posed by external factors such as trade policies.
