Financial Stress and the Current Macroeconomic
Outlook
March 24, 2023
Presentation (PDF) | Press Release | Video
St. Louis Fed President Jim Bullard presented “Financial Stress and the Current
Macroeconomic Outlook” at a meeting of Greater St. Louis Inc.
He noted that financial stress has been on the rise in recent days and that the macroprudential
policy response has been swift and appropriate. He added that regulators stand ready to take
additional action if necessary.
Meanwhile, incoming data on the U.S. macroeconomy have been stronger than expected, and
inflation remains too high, Bullard said. He also noted that FOMC policy has kept marketbased measures of inflation expectations relatively low, which bodes well for disinflation
during 2023.
Continued appropriate macroprudential policy can contain financial stress, while appropriate
monetary policy can continue to put downward pressure on inflation, he said.
