Philly Fed head Patrick Harker with some comments in a Q&A session after his speech in New York

  • Concerned about long-term state and federal debt
  • Sees the small bump by tax reform to be about 0.2% moving forward
  • But net impact of tax reform on US economy is unclear

Harker's speech earlier did not touch on anything monetary policy related, but looks like he can't escape some stuff about the economy in the Q&A.

Just to note, Harker is also not a voting member on this year's Fed board.
