Governor Michael S. Barr delivered Unlocking Opportunities for Workers and Entrepreneurs with a Criminal Record on September 01, 2026 at the Second-Chance Lending Forum, Washington, D.C.. Primary is https://www.federalreserve.gov/newsevents/speech/barr20260901a.htm — Last Update September 01, 2026. Inflation remains too high, and has been for over five years. The desk made enormous progress from inflation's peak of more than 7 percent in 2022 to a bit above 2 percent in 2024; that progress stalled in 2025. At the September FOMC meeting: if trends in the data give some confidence inflation is moderating on a path to 2 percent, take a bit more time to assess the policy stance; if inflation appears not to be moderating sufficiently, act decisively to raise rates.
