美聯(lián)儲(chǔ)啟動(dòng)三年多來首次加息
The US Federal Reserve on Wednesday raised its benchmark interest rate for the first time since 2018, as it seeks to tame the highest US inflation in four decades.
由于美國通脹水平創(chuàng)40年來最高紀(jì)錄，美國聯(lián)邦儲(chǔ)備委員會(huì)3月16日宣布上調(diào)聯(lián)邦基金利率目標(biāo)區(qū)間25個(gè)基點(diǎn)，這是美聯(lián)儲(chǔ)2018年以來首次加息。
"Inflation remains elevated, reflecting supply and demand imbalances related to the pandemic, higher energy prices, and broader price pressures," the Fed said in a statement after a two-day policy meeting, adding the Ukraine crisis and related events are likely to "create additional upward pressure" on inflation and weigh on economic activity.
美聯(lián)儲(chǔ)在結(jié)束為期兩天的貨幣政策會(huì)議后發(fā)表聲明說，通脹仍處于高位，反映出與新冠疫情相關(guān)的供需失衡、能源價(jià)格上漲和更廣泛的價(jià)格壓力。烏克蘭危機(jī)可能對美國通脹造成額外的上行壓力，并令經(jīng)濟(jì)活動(dòng)承壓。
The central bank decided to raise the target range for the federal funds rate by a quarter percentage point, to 0.25 to 0.5 percent, and "anticipates that ongoing increases in the target range will be appropriate," the statement said.
