Transcript of Chair Powell’s Press Conference Opening Statement
December 18, 2024
CHAIR POWELL. Good afternoon. My colleagues and I remain squarely focused on
achieving our dual mandate goals of maximum employment and stable prices for the benefit of
the American people. The economy is strong overall and has made significant progress toward
our goals over the past two years. The labor market has cooled from its formerly overheated
state and remains solid. Inflation has moved much closer to our 2 percent longer-run goal.
We are committed to maintaining our economy’s strength by supporting maximum
employment and returning inflation to our 2 percent goal. To that end, today, the Federal Open
Market Committee decided to take another step in reducing the degree of policy restraint by
lowering our policy interest rate by 1/4 percentage point. We also decided to continue to reduce
our securities holdings. I will have more to say about monetary policy after briefly reviewing
economic developments.
Recent indicators suggest that economic activity has continued to expand at a solid pace.
GDP rose at an annual rate of 2.8 percent in the third quarter, about the same pace as in the
second quarter. Growth of consumer spending has remained resilient, and investment in
equipment and intangibles has strengthened. In contrast, activity in the housing sector has been
weak. Overall, improving supply conditions have supported the strong performance of the U.S.
economy over the past year. In our Summary of Economic Projections, Committee participants
generally expect GDP growth to remain solid, with a median projection of about 2 percent over
the next few years.
In the labor market, conditions remain solid. Payroll job gains have slowed from earlier
in the year, averaging 173 thousand per month over the past three months. The unemployment
rate is higher than it was a year ago, but at 4.2 percent in November, it has remained low.

PRELIMINARY
Nominal wage growth has eased over the past year, and the jobs-to-workers gap has narrowed.
Overall, a broad set of indicators suggests that conditions in the labor market are now less tight
than in 2019. The labor market is not a source of significant inflationary pressures. The median
projection for the unemployment rate in the SEP is 4.2 percent at the end of this year and 4.3
percent over the next few years.
Inflation has eased significantly over the past two years but remains somewhat elevated
relative to our 2 percent longer-run goal. Estimates based on the Consumer Price Index and
other data indicate that total PCE prices rose 2.5 percent over the 12 months ending in
November; and that, excluding the volatile food and energy categories, core PCE prices rose 2.8
percent.
