Federal Reserve Governor Milan: Interest rates can be cut continuously by 50 basis points in a very short period of time
Federal Reserve Governor Milan said that if interest rates are not lowered quickly, the Federal Reserve will face the risk of economic damage. He believes that the Federal Reserve's current policy interest rate is between 4% and 4.25%, which is highly restrictive and far higher than his estimate of the so-called “neutral” level.
