Fed's Mester: Fed is not far behind or ahead of curve and can gather information on economy before adjusting rate policy

  • A most likely scenario is economic growth will slow this year, job growth will slow, inflation will stay near 2%
  • Fed funds rate may need to move "a bit higher" if the economy performs as she expects
  • Reduction in the balance sheet is likely putting upward pressure on longer-term interest rates
