Fed's Mester said that the current trend indicates slow long-term economic growth. The Fed is committed to restoring the inflation rate to the target of 2%. High inflation has costs in both the short and long term. Price stability is the key to the long-term health of the economy. Monetary policy must take into account long-term economic trends. No comment is made on the outlook for monetary policy in the near term. A lower neutral interest rate may return. (Jinshi)
