The Economic Outlook
Excerpt from speech: The background for today's economic situation is the remarkable boom in housing that ended a couple of years ago. From 1995 to 2005, new housing starts increased by more than 50 percent, and existing home prices increased by more than 150 percent (as measured by the Case-Shiller repeat sales index), and the homeownership rate increased significantly, from around 64 percent to 69 percent. Favorable fundamentals contributed to the boom; per capita real income grew much more r...

The Economic Outlook for 2008
excerpt from speech: It's a pleasure to be with you. While the economy is seldom far from many people's minds, I think it's fair to say that economic conditions are garnering a bit more attention than usual right now. Housing markets have deteriorated over the last two years and the resulting losses on mortgage-related securities contributed to financial market turmoil last summer. The associated decline in employment in the construction and financial industries has contributed to a slowdown in...

The Economic Outlook
excerpt from speech: I am pleased to be with you here today to discuss my views on the economic outlook. 1 When this date was arranged many months ago, I was looking forward to delivering my remarks during the sleepy dog days of summer. Instead, we meet during fairly tumultuous times in financial markets. Over the last several weeks, we have seen substantial revisions in market participants’ assessments of the fundamental value of securities related to sub-prime and other non-standard mortgages,...

The Inflation Outlook
excerpt from speech: I am very pleased to be with you today to discuss my views on the economic outlook, with particular emphasis on the outlook for inflation.1 In its most recent statements, the Federal Open Market Committee has identified “the risk that inflation will fail to moderate as expected” as its “predominant policy concern.” This places current inflation and the inflation outlook squarely at center stage in thinking about the economy and monetary policy. So in my remarks today, I will...

Inflation and Unemployment (revised)
excerpt from speech: Let me begin by telling you about some recent experiences. I had the opportunity earlier this year to guest-teach a couple of business school economics classes. I opened my discussions with a pair of questions, asking students to put themselves in the place of a monetary policymaker choosing a target for the federal funds rate. First I gave them a set of hypothetical facts about the state of the economy: a slowdown in housing in the wake of multi-year housing boom; rising ...

Economic Outlook
excerpt from speech: In considering the economic outlook, it’s important to bear in mind the broader transition that is taking place. In the three-year period leading up to the middle of last year, we’ve seen above average growth. Real gross domestic product – our best measure of total production in the economy – grew at a 3 ¾ percent annual rate. To appreciate the strength of that performance, note that the trend rate of GDP growth – by which I mean the rate consistent with trend growth in prod...

The Regional Economic Outlook
Excerpt from speech: I plan to discuss economic conditions in our Federal Reserve District, with a particular focus on conditions in the Washington metropolitan area. But because our region’s economy is so tightly linked with national economic trends, I will spend some time talking about the overall economic picture as well. As always, my remarks reflect my own views, and do not necessarily reflect the views of my colleagues within the Federal Reserve System, but you probably gathered as much f...

The Economic Outlook
excerpt from speech: It is a pleasure to speak on the economic outlook this morning, in part due to this distinguished Ohio Valley audience, and in part because the outlook is so encouraging. Growth is proceeding on a solid pace this year, and inflation is low and stable. Moreover, our economy has withstood several substantial shocks over the last several years, and yet has remained on course. So, I think we have abundant reason to be grateful for a quite positive economic outlook. Before I begi...

Transition and Continuity at the Federal Reserve in 2006
excerpt from speech: I would like to talk to you tonight about the evolution in the way the Federal Reserve goes about conducting monetary policy. As my title suggests, one theme is that a transition is taking place. Of course, the most striking transition at the Federal Reserve this year is the change in leadership. On January 31, Federal Reserve Board Chairman Alan Greenspan served his last day in office and chaired his last meeting of the Federal Open Market Committee. His successor, Ben Ber...

Richmond Fed President Jeff Lacker's speech, The Economic Outlook for 2006, January 20, 2006
Excerpt from President Lacker's speech: The really striking feature of the current outlook is the extent to which economic activity in general and consumer spending in particular has rebounded from the shock of last year's hurricane season. In the immediate aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, fears were widespread that consumers might pull back sharply on spending, both in response to sharply higher retail gasoline prices and out of a general sense of heightened anxiety about potential fallout from ...
