Dallas Federal Reserve President Lorie Logan, a voting member of the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) for 2026, has voiced her support for the Federal Reserve's decision to lower interest rates in September. In her statements, Logan underscored the persistent uncertainties that linger in the current economic landscape.
She emphasized that while the intention behind the rate cuts is to foster economic growth, the considerable risk of inflation remaining above the target of 2% poses a significant challenge for policymakers. This concern leads to a preference for adopting a more cautious and gradual strategy when it comes to adjusting interest rates back to normal levels.
Her remarks have sparked discussions among analysts and economists regarding the implications of such a strategy on the broader economic environment..
