Navigating Monetary Policy As Headwinds Shift To Tailwinds, Federal Reserve Governor Lael Brainard, At The Money Marketeers Of New York University, New York, New York

Date 07/03/2018

I appreciate the invitation from the Money Marketeers to discuss the path ahead for our economy and monetary policy.

Many of the forces that acted as headwinds to U.S. growth and weighed on policy in previous years are generating tailwinds currently. Today many economies around the world are experiencing synchronized growth, in contrast to the 2015­-16 period when important foreign economies experienced adverse shocks and anemic demand. The International Monetary Fund revised up its outlook for the world economy in January, continuing a recent pattern of upward revisions, in contrast to a string of downward revisions in 2015 and 2016. Stronger economies abroad should increase demand for America's exports and boost the foreign earnings of U.S. companies.
