Philadelphia Fed president Harker: It could cause disruption in markets if Fed tries to change pace of bond purchases too soon

  • Says he could see bond purchases being reduced later but the fewer things we changed the better right now
  • The virus is determining the trajectory of U.S. economy
  • Economic recovery will be uneven with wildly unequal outcomes across sectors
  • Expects U.S. economy to see significant slowing and possibly negative growth in Q1 2021
  • Growth should be strong in H2 2021 and through 2022, before slight tapering in 2023
  • Recent $900-billion stimulus should buoy economy
