Fed's Williams: Economy is facing more disinflationary pressure than inflationary pressure
|"Now is not the time for the Fed to focus on exit strategies because we are in the middle of a difficult situation," NY Fed President John Williams said on Thursday.
"The Fed's goals are maximum employment and price stability and we are close to 2% inflation goal but not quite there," Williams further noted. "The economy is facing more disinflationary pressure than inflationary pressure."
