“The First Steps toward Disin�ation” (Presented in
Barcelona)
June 20, 2022
Presentation (PDF)
In�ation in the U.S. is comparable to 1970s levels, and U.S. in�ation expectations could
become unmoored without credible Fed action, St. Louis Fed President Jim Bullard said
during a presentation in Barcelona, Spain. He noted that the Fed has reacted by taking
important �rst steps to return in�ation to the 2% target and that U.S. market interest rates
have increased substantially, partially in response to promised Fed action.
Bullard delivered a similar presentation to the Economic Club of Memphis on June 1.
