The US Central Bank left its control interest – economic outlook more uncertain

US Central Bank Fed did not produce a surprise on Wednesday on one’s interest rate decision. The control interest rate was allowed to remain at a range of 4.25-4.5 %.

The Central Bank estimates that economic outlook is more uncertain. It is estimated that inflation will become higher and economic growth will be weaker than expected before. The Fed now anticipates 1.7 % economic growth for this year, while in December the forecast was 2.1 %.

The Fed is thus darker than the OECD cooperation, which on Monday predicted a 2.1 % growth rate for the United States this year.

Central bank According to the new estimate, unemployment will increase to 4.4 % this year, or one -tenth one percentage point higher than in the previous forecast.

According to the Fed estimated at 2.8 %, the base inflation, which is not included in fluctuations, is expected to be 2.5 % in December.

At the same time, the FED predicts that two 0.25 percentage points of interest rate will be expected towards the end of the year. This prognosis is the same as in December.
