联邦储备在政府关门期间面临数据挑战
摘要
联邦储备主席杰罗姆·鲍威尔谈及持续的政府关门对央行运营及即将到来的政策决策的影响。
联邦储备主席杰罗姆·鲍威尔周三表示，持续的政府关门导致关键经济数据缺失，使得央行12月会议的影响尚不确定。由于重要指标缺失，鲍威尔强调在经济形势更明朗之前需要保持谨慎。
“如果你在雾中驾驶，你会放慢速度，”他在为期两天的联邦公开市场委员会（FOMC）会议结束时说道。下一次政策会议定于12月9日至10日举行。
尽管数据不完整，鲍威尔强调美联储必须继续履行职责。
“无论如何，我们都必须完成我们的工作，”他告诉记者。“我希望到12月会议时，我们能获得更好的数据流。”
他将现已进入第五周的政府关门描述为“一种临时状态”。
“我们将收集所有能找到的数据，进行评估，并认真思考。这是我们的工作，也是我们将要做的，”鲍威尔补充道。
美联储宣布了今年的第二次降息，表明尽管通胀仍高于目标，但仍在持续努力支持劳动力市场。鲍威尔指出，尽管9月份的官方就业数据被推迟，但现有证据显示裁员和招聘均保持低位，家庭对就业机会的感知以及企业对招聘难度的感知均持续下降。
“我们不会对经济有同样详细的感知，”他说。“但如果出现重大或实质性的变化，我认为我们会察觉到。”
美联储的行动正处于复杂的经济环境中，政府关门为政策决策增加了不确定性。
