Speaking with CNBC, BWC Vice Chair Rebecca Patterson discusses the outlook for monetary policy and the Federal Reserve’s approach to inflation. She notes that while several Fed participants remain focused on bringing inflation down, the policy path could continue to evolve with incoming data. She also discusses the shift from eight to six Fed meetings, noting that fewer meetings could give officials more time to focus on other responsibilities while maintaining clear communication.
