U.S. Federal Reserve Governor Michelle Bowman gives her first public remarks as a Fed policymaker at an American Bankers Association conference in San Diego, California, U.S., February 11 2019. REUTERS/Ann Saphir/File Photo - Federal Reserve Governor Michelle Bowman on Saturday repeated her view that inflation continues to be too high despite"considerable" progress in lowering it, and the U.S. central bank will likely need to tighten monetary policy further.
"I remain willing to support raising the federal funds rate at a future meeting if the incoming data indicates that progress on inflation has stalled or is too slow to bring inflation to 2 percent in a timely way," she said. On Friday, the U.S. Labor Department reported that employers added nearly twice as many jobs as expected in September, and it revised higher the job gains for previous months.
