Lael Brainard, Joe Biden’s nominee for vice-chair of the Federal Reserve, will tell Congress that the fight against high inflation is the US central bank’s “most important task” in an embrace of the central bank’s pivot towards tighter monetary policy.
乔·拜登提名的美联储副主席莱尔·布雷纳德将告诉美国国会，抗击高通胀是美联储“最重要的任务”。拜登将接受美联储转向收紧货币政策的举措。
“Inflation is too high, and working people around the country are concerned about how far their pay cheques will go,” said Brainard, a Fed governor, in prepared remarks released ahead of her confirmation hearing before the Senate banking committee on Thursday.
美联储理事布雷纳德在周四参议院银行业委员会的提名确认听证会前发表的事先准备好的讲话中表示：“通货膨胀率太高，全国工薪阶层都在关心他们的补贴支票能持续多久。”
“Our monetary policy is focused on getting inflation back down to 2 per cent while sustaining a recovery that includes everyone. This is our most important task”, she added.
“我们的货币政策的重点是，在维持包括所有人在内的复苏的同时，让通胀率回落至2%。这是我们最重要的任务。”
Brainard is generally regarded as dovish on monetary policy, but her testimony suggests she is on board with a more aggressive approach to fighting inflation.
布雷纳德在货币政策上通常被认为是鸽派的，但她的证词表明，她支持用更积极的方式对抗通胀。
