Monetary Policy and Inflation: 1993 in Perspective

Download pdf

Although the Federal Reserve did not change its objective for the federal funds rate over the course of the past year, long-term interest rates declined from their 1992 levels. The events of 1993 also point to confidence in the financial markets that the central bank will respond appropriately to any significant acceleration in the price level. This article provides an overview of these issues in the context of the Federal Reserve's continued emphasis on price stability, which may have contributed to the outcome for interest rates in 1993.
