That’s seriously,” he added. because roughly half of the of the fi rst changes regarding communications and transparency that he made after being appointed chairman. He explained some of his reasoning for this decision, saying that some of the long- held “mystery” around central banking began to change under Chairman Alan Greenspan. “Chairman Greenspan did a bunch of things which opened the Fed up and made us com- municate better with the public. So did Chairman Bernanke and Chair Yellen,” said Powell. “I’m just continuing that tradition.” He went on to tell the audience that the Fed must earn and sustain the trust of the public. “That means be transparent about what we’re doing and why we’re doing it, and speak in ways that the public can understand,” he told the audience. His announcement that there would be a press conference after every meeting was a way for the Fed to further embrace transparency and accountabil- ity and bring some urgency to the job of building trust with the public. “Having a press conference after every meeting will give me a chance to talk about what the Federal Open Market Committee decided, what we think about the economy, and just kind of engage after every meeting to give people a better sense of what’s going on.” He acknowledged that the market had defi nitely gotten into the habit of thinking that the Fed would only move the fed fund rate on press conference meetings — March, June, September, and December. 44 Farms® is striving to improve all aspects of the beef production chain. “Now that there will be eight From genetic selection through harvest – we have access to key, real world press conferences … all meetings are live now, no question data and work to utilize this information to its full potential. about it,” Powell said. Specific to the Fed fund rate, after going unchanged for more than eight years, the rate now stands at 2.25 percent. Powell was asked to address what he sees as the biggest challenge in normalizing U.S. monetary policy. He offered some background, noting fi rst that when he joined in 2012 the Fed was so far from its goals with unemployment at eight percent and infl ation well below target that it was clear the best policy was to keep REAL WORLD PERFORMANCE DATA REAL WORLD FEEDYARD DATA REAL WORLD CARCASS DATA rates low to give the economy a chance to recover. “Three years ago we reached the view on the committee that it was time to start gradually 963 PR 44 • CAMERON, TEXAS 76520 • 254.697.4401 moving rates back up to a level BROADCAST LIVE DISH NETWORK • CH 998 that is normal for a healthier SUPERIORLIVESTOCK.COM economy,” said Powell. “I’m very happy about the state of the economy now.” Page 4 Livestock Weekly November 22, 2018
