  • We are operating in a tight economy
  • No clear narrative on the outlook for growth
  • I support ongoing rate increases
  • At same time, pace of that path needs to be carefully balanced against state of economy and financial markets
  • We need to minimize policy uncertainty during time of market volatility
  • Policy actions also have a lag, impact on real economy is still likely playing out

We'll monitor for comments that address the path of monetary policy.
