Atlanta Fed President Bostic Calls for Continued Focus on Inflation
2025-12-17 04:21

Raphael Bostic, the retiring president of the Atlanta Federal Reserve, stated that the Federal Reserve should continue to focus on addressing inflation. He expects high price pressures to persist through much of next year. At the December policy meeting, Bostic suggested keeping interest rates unchanged and maintaining this level throughout 2026, citing economic tailwinds that could continue to push up inflation. Bostic views price stability as a more urgent risk and predicts that inflation will remain above 2.5% by the end of 2026. Although labor demand is cooling, he does not anticipate a severe labor market recession.
