  • Something Appears To Be Giving, Federal Reserve Governor Christopher J. Waller, At The American Enterprise Institute, Washington, D.C.

    Date 28/11/2023

    Last month, I gave a speech entitled "Something's Got to Give."1 That message was prompted by the fact that we were observing strong economic growth and employment data in the third quarter, while simultaneously seeing a clear moderation in core personal consumption expenditures (PCE) inflation. While this was good news for employment growth, the pace of real economic activity seemed inconsistent with continued progress toward the Federal Open Market Committee's (FOMC) goal of 2 percent inflation. It seemed clear to me then that something had to give— for inflation to continue falling to our 2 percent target, the economy needed to slow from its torrid third-quarter pace. If it did not cool off, then it was likely that progress on inflation would stop or even reverse. So, what remained to be seen was whether the economy would cool or inflation would heat up.

    Focus

    Many countries have witnessed a significant increase in corporate pricing power in recent decades. Against this background and following the post-Covid surge in inflation, there was hope that high markups could absorb some of the cost pressures. However, high markups could also contribute to inflation. Firms with a high degree of market power may find it easier to pass on cost increases to their customers. Likewise, firms charging high markups could retain some of the benefits of falling input costs.
