Chicago Fed president Evans: Policy to be accommodative "for a long time"

  • U.S. economy should prepare for a period of very low interest rates
  • Expects virus to be brought under control as year progresses
  • It will likely take years to get U.S. inflation up to 2% on average
  • Interest rates will stay low for a long period; Fed will likely continue asset purchases for a while as well
  • Fed should not rush to raise rates unless inflation threatens to be uncomfortably high
