明尼阿波利斯联邦储备银行行长尼尔·卡什卡里周三表示，通胀率仍然“过高”。此前，美国经济分析局（BEA）发布的数据显示，8月份的年通胀率仍高于美联储设定的2%的目标水平。
Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis President Neel Kashkari said Wednesday inflation remains “too high,” after the the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) released data showing that annual inflation remained above the central bank’s 2 percent target in August. “Inflation is still too high,” Kashkari told CNBC’s Steve Liesman at a Council of Foreign Relations event in New York City.
“通胀率仍然过高，”卡什卡里在纽约市举行的外交关系委员会（Council of Foreign Relations）活动上对CNBC的史蒂夫·利斯曼（Steve Liesman）说。
“It’s been elevated now for more than five years. I didn’t think the inflation data today really changed that story for me very much,” the Minneapolis Fed president added.
“通胀率已经持续处于高位超过五年了。今天的通胀数据并没有让我对这一状况产生太大改变，”这位明尼阿波利斯联邦储备银行的行长补充道。
Annual inflation, as measured by personal consumption expenditures (PCE) price index, was 3.4 percent in August, according to data from the BEA.
根据美国经济分析局的数据，8月份的年通胀率为3.4%（该数据是通过个人消费支出（PCE）价格指数来衡量的）；而剔除食品和能源等价格波动较大的因素后的核心通胀率则同比上涨了3%。
Core prices, which outstrip more volatile food and energy costs, were up 3 percent year-over-year.
根据另一种衡量通胀率的指标——消费者价格指数（CPI），自2021年3月以来通胀率一直高于2%，并在2022年6月达到了40年来的最高水平（9.1%）。
Inflation has been above 2 percent since March 2021, reaching a 40-year high of 9.1 percent in June 2022, according to the consumer price index, another measure of prices.
上个月，卡什卡里与联邦公开市场委员会（FOMC）的11位成员一致投票决定将利率上调0.25个百分点。该委员会将于10月27日至28日再次召开会议，距离中期选举还不到一周的时间。
Kashkari joined all 11 of his colleagues on the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) in voting to raise interest rates by a quarter point last month. The panel will meet again on Oct. 27-28, less than a week before the midterm elections.
自从联邦公开市场委员会将利率上调至3.75%至4%的区间后，多位委员会成员都预测未来还会继续加息。
Since the FOMC raised borrowing costs to a range of 3.75 percent to 4 percent, multiple panel officials have forecasted future rate hikes.
“在我看来，可能需要进一步调整货币政策，以确保通胀率能够及时降至目标水平，”美联储主席迈克尔·巴尔（Michael Barr）周二在底特律经济俱乐部（Detroit Economic Club）表示。
“In my base case, further policy adjustments are likely to be needed to ensure inflation comes down to target in a timely fashion,” Fed Governor Michael Barr said Tuesday at the Detroit Economic Club.
“展望未来，如果情况如我所预期的那样发展，或许有必要进一步适度收紧货币政策，”费城联邦储备银行行长安娜·保尔森（Anna Paulson）上周在一场金融科技会议上说。“一如既往，我会密切关注各项数据，并认真倾听企业和工人的意见，”她补充道。
“Looking ahead, if conditions evolve as I expect, some modest further tightening may be warranted,” Anna Paulson, the president of the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia, said last week at a financial technology conference. “As always, I’ll be watching the data and listening closely to what businesses and workers are telling me,” she added.
卡什卡里周三指出，数据显示美国经济在面对伊朗战争以及特朗普总统实施的进口关税等冲击时依然具有“韧性”。
One thing the data show, Kashkari argued Wednesday, is that the U.S. economy is “resilient” amid shocks from the Iran war and President Trump’s tariffs on imports.
美国商务部（BEA）周三公布的数据显示，该国今年第二季度的国内生产总值（GDP）同比增长了2.2%，高于此前预估的1.5%。
The country’s gross domestic product increased by 2.2 percent annually in the second quarter of this year, the BEA reported Wednesday, up from its previous estimate of 1.5 percent.
卡什卡里对利斯曼表示：“过去几年里，尽管面临关税、贸易战以及中东地区的地缘政治冲突，美国经济的韧性依然令人印象深刻。”
“The last several years, in the face of tariffs and trade war, in the face of the geopolitical conflict in the Middle East, it’s remarkable how resilient the U.S. economy has been,” Kashkari told Liesman.
