The Federal Reserve's latest stimulus plan will not do much to boost
growth and raises the risk of inflation next year, Richmond Fed Bank
President Jeffrey Lacker said on Tuesday, echoing remarks he made last
week.
"It is unlikely that the Federal Reserve can push real growth rates
materially higher than they otherwise would be, on a sustained basis,"
he said in a speech to a business group.
"I see an increased risk, given the course the (Fed's policy)
committee has set, that inflation pressures emerge and are not thwarted
in a timely way. I see material upside risks to inflation in 2014 and
beyond, given the current trajectory for monetary policy," he said.
