Moderated Q&A: OMFIF Foundation Main Meeting
July 10, 2019

St. Louis Fed President James Bullard addressed questions on monetary policy and the U.S.
economy during a moderated conversation at the OMFIF Foundation Main Meeting in St.
Louis. In particular, he shared his views on in�ation expectations, policy normalization and
the potential impact of slower global growth.
Bullard also talked about low interest rates and low in�ation in the U.S., which are driven by
demographics and relatively low productivity growth. These conditions have led to low
short-term real interest rates on safe assets in the U.S., he explained.
