美联储克利夫兰分行行长贝丝·哈马克周四表示，如果公众的通胀预期出现恶化，这很可能需要央行采取更激进的行动来应对。
Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland President Beth Hammack said on Thursday if there were to be a deterioration in the public’s inflation expectations that would likely require more aggressive central bank action to counter.
“我担心的是，如果出现这种通胀心态，如果出现这些预期，即这些价格压力变得越来越持久，这将使货币政策更难以完成我们需要完成的工作，我们可能需要采取比没有这种通胀心态更激进的行动，”哈马克在纽约高盛举办的活动上表示。
“What I worry about is, if you get this inflationary mindset, if you get these expectations that these price pressures become more and more persistent, it makes it much harder for monetary policy to do the work that we need to do, and we might need to move even more than if you don't have an inflationary mindset set in,” Hammack said at an event held by Goldman Sachs in New York.
