Democratic Senators' Plea for Federal Reserve to Lower Interest Rate Amid Inflation Concerns

user avatar

by Giorgi Kostiuk

a year ago


Three Democratic senators, including Elizabeth Warren, Jacky Rosen, and John Hickenlooper, have jointly advised the Federal Reserve to decrease its benchmark interest rate. This recommendation stems from their observation that the prevailing high interest rate is compounding inflationary pressures rather than alleviating them. The senators directed their letter to Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell, emphasizing the necessity for an urgent reduction in the federal funds rate, which currently stands at 5.5%, marking a peak over the past two decades. They voiced their concerns about the adverse effects of prolonged high interest rates on economic growth and inflation. Furthermore, the senators pinpointed the repercussions on sectors such as housing, construction, and auto insurance costs, warning about the potential recessionary impact and employment losses that could ensue. Drawing parallels with recent rate cuts by the European Central Bank and the Bank of Canada, the senators urged the Fed to reconsider its inflation target and align with the changing global economic landscape.
