Tassi invariati

Release Date: October 25, 2006



For immediate release

The Federal Open Market Committee decided today to keep its target for the federal funds rate at 5-1/4 percent.

Economic growth has slowed over the course of the year, partly reflecting a cooling of the housing market. Going forward, the economy seems likely to expand at a moderate pace.

Readings on core inflation have been elevated, and the high level of resource utilization has the potential to sustain inflation pressures. However, inflation pressures seem likely to moderate over time, reflecting reduced impetus from energy prices, contained inflation expectations, and the cumulative effects of monetary policy actions and other factors restraining aggregate demand.

Nonetheless, the Committee judges that some inflation risks remain. The extent and timing of any additional firming that may be needed to address these risks will depend on the evolution of the outlook for both inflation and economic growth, as implied by incoming information.

Voting for the FOMC monetary policy action were: Ben S. Bernanke, Chairman; Timothy F. Geithner, Vice Chairman; Susan S. Bies; Donald L. Kohn; Randall S. Kroszner; Frederic S. Mishkin; Sandra Pianalto; William Poole; Kevin M. Warsh; and Janet L. Yellen. Voting against was Jeffrey M. Lacker, who preferred an increase of 25 basis points in the federal funds rate target at this meeting.

TASSI USA: LA FEDERAL RESERVE LI LASCIA INVARIATI
Per la terza volta consecutiva, la Banca Centrale americana non ha ritoccato il tasso sui fed funds, lasciandolo al 5.25%. Confermate le attese di un prolungamento della pausa sul costo del denaro.

Come ampiamente atteso dal mercato, il Federal Open Market Committee, il braccio operativo della Federal Reserve, ha lasciato invariato il costo del denaro degli Stati Uniti.
Il target sui fed funds e' dunque fermo al 5.25%. Nella riunione dello scorso 8 agosto, la decisione di non ritoccare i tassi, poi confermata in quello del 20 settembre, aveva chiuso la serie di rialzi durata per ben due anni. Il primo rialzo della serie fu deciso nel meeting del Fomc del 30 giugno del 2004.

Per i lettori di Wall Street Italia ecco la traduzione in italiano del documento ufficiale della Federal Reserve:

La crescita economica ha subito un rallentamento nel corso dell’anno, riflettendo parzialmento il raffreddamento del settore immobiliare. Proseguendo, sembra che l’economia debba espandersi ad un tasso moderato.

I segnali relativi all’inflazione core sono stati piuttosto elevati, e gli alti livelli dell’utilizzazione delle risorse hanno il potenziale di sostenere ulteriori pressioni inflazionistiche. Tuttavia, queste sembrano dover calmarsi nel tempo, come conseguenza dell’abbassamento dei costi energetici e sulla scia delle aspettative contenute sull’inflazione, nonche’ grazie alle azioni di politica monetaria ed altri fattori capaci di contenere la domanda aggregata.

Tuttavia, il Comitato ritiene che alcuni rischi inflazionistici ancora restano. La modalita’ e i tempi di qualsiasi azione di politica monetaria che potrebbe essere necessaria per contenere tali rischi dipenderanno dall’evoluzione dell’outlook inflazionistico e delle crescita economica, cosi’ come sara’ implicato dalle informazioni rilasciate quotidianamente.

A votare a favore dell’azione di politica monetaria del FOMC sono stati: Ben S. Bernanke, Chairman; Timothy F. Geithner, Vice Chairman; Susan S. Bies; Donald L. Kohn; Randall S. Kroszner; Frederic S. Mishkin; Sandra Pianalto; William Poole; Kevin M. Warsh; e Janet L. Yellen. A votare contro e’ stato Jeffrey M. Lacker che avrebbe preferito un incremento di 25 punti base del target sui fed funds nel meeting giornaliero.
