The Federal Reserve’s latest projections for interest rates in 2025 have been released, showing a more moderate approach than previously expected. According to the central bank’s dot-plot, officials now anticipate only two quarter-point rate cuts throughout the year, bringing the benchmark lending rate down to 3.9% by the end of 2025.

This adjustment is a departure from the Fed’s previous forecast of four rate cuts, or a full percentage point reduction, at the September meeting. During the most recent policy meeting, the committee decided to lower the overnight borrowing rate to a target range of 4.25% – 4.5%.

Of the 19 FOMC members, 14 foresee two rate cuts or fewer in 2025, while only five anticipate more than two cuts. Looking ahead, officials are signaling two more cuts in 2026 and another in 2027. The committee also revised the “neutral” funds rate to 3%, slightly higher than the September update.

In addition to the interest rate outlook, the Fed’s projections also include slightly higher expectations for inflation. Projections for headline and core inflation have been raised to 2.4% and 2.8%, respectively, compared to the previous estimates of 2.3% and 2.6%. The committee also increased its forecast for full-year GDP growth to 2.5%, half a percentage point higher than in September. However, GDP is expected to slow down to its long-term projection of 1.8% in the following years.

On the employment front, the Fed lowered its estimate for the unemployment rate to 4.2% from 4.4% previously. These adjustments reflect the Federal Reserve’s evolving assessment of the economic landscape and its commitment to supporting sustainable growth and price stability.

In conclusion, the Fed’s latest projections signal a more measured approach to monetary policy, with a focus on balancing economic expansion with inflation control. The central bank’s decisions will continue to be guided by data and economic indicators, ensuring a gradual and cautious path towards achieving its dual mandate of maximum employment and stable prices.
