Harker answering questions in London

  • Fed is still accommodative
  • There is an active debate on Fed about whether they are measure inflation correctly and it's possible that we are entering a low-inflation world
  • May revisit rate view if inflation moves away from goal
  • Says he hasn't factored in anything related to fiscal policy

The comment on a low-inflation world is an interesting one. The Fed is at least beginning to think about abandoning the old model that has incorrectly predicted inflation forever.
