US Federal Reserve delivers big rate hike, sees another large move higher this year

美联储宣布大幅加息，今年将再次大幅加息

WASHINGTON: The US Federal Reserve raised its target interest rate by three-quarters of a percentage point to a range of 3.00%-3.25% on Wednesday and signaled more large increases to come in new projections showing its policy rate rising to 4.40% by the end of this year before top out at 4.60% in 2023 to battle continued strong inflation.

华盛顿：周三，美联储将目标利率上调0.75个百分点，至3.00%-3.25%区间，并在新的预测中暗示将会再次大幅加息。最新预测显示，美联储的政策利率将在今年年底前升至4.40%，2023年达到4.60%的峰值，以应对持续强劲的通胀。

The US central bank's quarterly economic projections, meanwhile, showed the economy slowing to a crawl in 2022, with year-end growth at 0.2%, rising to 1.2% in 2023, well below the economy's potential. The unemployment rate is projected to rise to 3.8% this year and 4.4% in 2023. Inflation is seen slowly returning to the Fed's 2% target in 2025.

与此同时，美国央行的季度经济预测显示，经济在2022年放缓至缓慢水平，年底的增长率为0.2%，2023年升至1.2%，远低于经济潜力。失业率预计今年将升至3.8%，2023年将升至4.4%。通货膨胀率有望在2025年缓慢回到美联储2%的目标。

Rate cuts are not foreseen until 2024.

预计到2024年才会降息。

The federal funds rate projected for the end of this year signals total rate hikes of another 1.25 percentage points to come in the Fed's two remaining policy meetings in 2022, a level that implies another 75-basis-point hike in the offing.

今年年底的联邦基金利率预测表明，美联储将在2022年剩下的两次政策会议上再加息1.25个百分点，这一水平意味着美联储将再次加息75个基点。

"The committee is strongly committed to returning inflation to its 2% objective," the Fed said in a statement announcing its third consecutive 75-basis-point hike, which is considerably higher than the quarter-percentage-point increases typical of the Fed.

美联储在宣布连续第三次加息75个基点的声明中表示：“委员会坚定致力于将通胀率恢复到2%的目标。” 这一加息幅度大大高于美联储通常的0.25个基点的加息幅度。

The Fed "anticipates that ongoing increases in the target range will be appropriate," the statement from its policymaking Federal Open Market Committee said, repeating language from its previous statement in July.

美联储的政策制定机构联邦公开市场委员会在声明中称，美联储“预期继续上调目标区间将是适当的”，重申了7月份声明中的措辞。

The Fed is making a statement that the inflation will be contained to 2%, which is the base line. RBI increases the rates but does not advise the baseline of inflation. RBI efforts are spoiled by greedy Banks

美联储声明通货膨胀将被控制在2%，这是基线。印度央行提高了利率，但不建议通胀的基线。印度央行的努力被贪婪的银行破坏了
