  • Federal Reserve Issues Federal Open Market Committee Statement

    Date 02/11/2011

    Information received since the Federal Open Market Committee met in September indicates that economic growth strengthened somewhat in the third quarter, reflecting in part a reversal of the temporary factors that had weighed on growth earlier in the year. Nonetheless, recent indicators point to continuing weakness in overall labor market conditions, and the unemployment rate remains elevated. Household spending has increased at a somewhat faster pace in recent months. Business investment in equipment and software has continued to expand, but investment in nonresidential structures is still weak, and the housing sector remains depressed. Inflation appears to have moderated since earlier in the year as prices of energy and some commodities have declined from their peaks. Longer-term inflation expectations have remained stable.

  • Report To The Secretary Of The U.S. Treasury From The Treasury Borrowing Advisory Committee Of The Securities Industry And Financial Markets Association

    Date 02/11/2011

    Dear Mr. Secretary:

    Since the Committee last met in August, economic activity indicators have firmed and real GDP in the third quarter expanded at a 2.5% annual rate, a noticeable acceleration from the 0.8% growth rate experienced in the first half of the year. Real final sales reached a 3.6% growth pace in the third quarter, an even greater acceleration from its modest 0.8% growth pace in the first half. Economic activity has received support recently from a rebound in motor vehicle production and an easing in energy prices. Early indications suggest the economy continues to expand at a reasonable pace in the fourth quarter. Despite some progress recently, the ongoing debt crisis in Europe remains a downside risk to domestic economic activity. As was the case at the last meeting, the outlook for fiscal policy remains considerably uncertain, and expectations regarding budget deliberations continue to shape the outlook for next year.
