Why the Fed must stand still on rates
對待加息 美聯準不應輕舉妄動


美國前財長薩默斯:在美國通膨、就業和經濟產出均未達到目標的情況下,根本沒有理由給經濟踩剎車。如果不顧經濟現實而一味奉行央行教條,美聯準可能犯致命錯誤。

Two weeks ago, I argued that a Federal Reserve decision to raise rates in September would be a serious mistake. As I wrote my column, the market was assigning a 50 per cent chance to a rate hike.
