Washington (Reuters) – Officials of the American Federal Reserve (Fed) noted almost unanimously in March The increased risks threatening the American economy, between increasing inflation and slowdown growth, shows the report published on Wednesday of its last monetary policy.
Some officials of the American central bank have said that “delicate compromises” could wait for the institution in the future, according to the “minutes” of the meeting on March 18-19, which was held in the wake of the first customs of customs rights of the administration of the American president Donald Trump.
Since then, the chief of the White House has unveiled other so -called “reciprocal” taxes, entering into force on Wednesday for only a few hours, Washington having announced a 90 -day break.
The uncertainty about American customs duties and their repercussions prompted Fed officials to promote a “prudent approach”, with the possibility of maintaining high interest rates longer than expected in the event of a rebound in inflation or, conversely, to soften the monetary policy if the need to support the economy appeared.
