And until then, we’re part of the bridge that we’re building across the COVID pandemic so that we can bring as… all Americans through the pandemic and ready to regrow our economy and regain our lives.

It says when certain economic conditions for full employment and price stability are achieved, we’ll begin normalization.
And that’s why I think Fed policy, the FOMC statement, and where we have positioned our policy, is perfect. So I just think we all need to be patient, realize we’re not out of the woods yet, embrace what we’ve got, and recognize we’re still a long way to go to recover. In 1918, you know, people ran out of their homes when it looked like it was getting better, and they had mask burning parties, and they paraded around, and then the winter came, and they had a resurgence that actually ended in a lot of lost lives. These are things that remind me in 1918… I know, Neel, you’re a student of history. Look at India who is suffering with a terrible loss of life. You only have to pick up the news and look at India, look at South Korea and Japan, who are faltering on vaccinations for their populations. It’s going to get some time to re-engage those individuals.Īnd the final piece of this whole economic profile, if you will, is that we’re not out of the woods yet. And that’s going to take some time to clear out. And if you want to ever gauge that, just think of there are still 8, or 8.5 million workers who had jobs before the pandemic, and are now still on the sidelines. And it’s going to take some time to get back. history, really, to the labor market and to output. The other part, though, that we can never forget, and we have to keep in mind simultaneously, is that we have a very deep hole to dig out of. And it makes me bullish about the future. It spurs hiring, it spurs production, it really puts us in a good place to launch a robust recovery. They’re vaccinated and they’re getting out and they’re doing things.Īnd this is really good news for the economy. I sort of characterize it as the freedom induced demand shock. You know, as we’ve got almost 50% of our population in the United States with at least one shot of the vaccine, you’ve seen this resurgence of activity. And three, we’re not out of the woods yet. Two is, we are a long way from digging out of the hole that COVID caused. One is, I think we have a very optimistic outlook. So let me start by saying there are really three elements that I want to highlight when we think about the profile of the economy. And Mary, thank you for joining us this afternoon.
