Boston Federal Reserve President Susan Collins indicated that while she envisions a period of steady interest rates, there may be a need for rate hikes to ensure inflation returns to the 2% target. She expressed concerns over prolonged above-target inflation and the impact of rising energy prices. Collins noted that if inflation continues to rise due to ongoing conflicts, policy tightening might be necessary. Despite these challenges, she anticipates solid economic growth and a modest increase in unemployment this year.
