post: BoC’s Macklem: MonPol No Longer Needs To Be As Restrictive As It Has Been - Still Need To Get Inflation Down Further To Our TargetsMacklem: Central banking - Navigating in a new world Good afternoon. It’s always great to be back in Montréal, my hometown. And I could not be more pleased to be here with Joachim Nagel, President of the Deutsche Bundesbank. Thank you for visiting us in Canada. Since I’m on my home turf, let me start us off with a few words about where we find ourselves in economic history. Key lessons from high inflation Canada and Germany have just come through the biggest inflation we’ve experienced in 40 years. And as painful as this has been, it has highlighted some lessons. I will focus on three in the Canadian context. First, we ignore the supply-side of the economy at our peril. As central banks, we tend to focus on the demand side because that’s what we influence with interest rates. But coming out of the pandemic, we learned that it is much easier to restore demand than supply. High inflation was a stark reminder that supply shocks can cumulate and persist—and when they intersect with periods of strong demand, the inflationary consequences can be large. Looking ahead, technological change, geopolitical tensions, climate change, and shifting trade and investment flows all suggest we may experience more supply shocks than we did in the past. Businesses and central banks need to be ready. Second, inflation is painful—that’s not a new lesson, but for many of our citizens it was their first experience with high inflation. And it has been painful. Inflation harms people and the economy, and it corrodes trust in our market-based system. Th

In conjunction with the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting held on June 11–12, 2024, meeting participants submitted their projections of the most likely outcomes for real gross domestic product (GDP) growth, the unemployment rate, and inflation for each year from 2024 to 2026 and over the longer run. Each participant’s projections were based on information available at the time of the meeting, together with her or his assessment of appropriate monetary policy—including a path for the federal funds rate and its longer-run value—and assumptions about other factors likely to affect economic outcomes. The longer-run projections represent each participant’s assessment of the value to which each variable would be expected to converge, over time, under appropriate monetary policy and in the absence of further shocks to the economy. “Appropriate monetary policy” is defined as the future path of policy that each participant deems most likely to foster outcomes for economic activity and inflation that best satisfy his or her individual interpretation of the statutory mandate to promote maximum employment and price stability. post: FED’S MEDIAN RATE FORECAST END-’24 AT 5.1%; PREV. 4.6% FED’S MEDIAN RATE FORECAST END-’25 AT 4.1%; PREV. 3.9% FED’S MEDIAN RATE FORECAST END-’26 AT 3.1%; PREV. 3.1% FED’S MEDIAN RATE FORECAST LONGER-RUN AT 2.8%; PREV. 2.6% post: FED POLICYMAKERS SEE END-2024 PCE INFLATION AT 2.6% VERSUS 2.4% IN MARCH PROJECTION; CORE SEEN AT 2.8% VERSUS 2.6% post: FED OFFICIALS RAISE 2024 INFLATION FORECAST TO 2.6%, UP FROM 2.4% IN MARCH FORECAST FED OFFICIALS SEE 4% UNEMPLOYMENT AT END OF 2024, UNCHANGED FROM MARCH FORECAST FED OFFICIALS SEE 2.1% GDP GROWTH IN 2024, UNCHANGED FROM MARCH FORECAST
