IFP Research Team joins Janet Yellen in Providence

Warwick, RI, (May, 2015) – The research team at IFP Investment Research was invited to lunch recently, where Yellen delivered an economic outlook to a crowd that included RI's top politicians, business leaders and academics. Below are some of our takeaways from that meeting.

Key Takeaways

- Yellen believes that the U.S. economy seems positioned for continued economic growth, and that the slowdown in the 1st Quarter was likely due to transitory factors, citing abnormally bad weather and the west coast port disruption as causes behind the “statistical noise.”

- Too low of inflation can impair the functioning of the economy, limiting wage growth and making it more difficult to pay off debt. Wal-Mart and Target recently announced wage increases, which is a step in the right direction.

- Because of substantial lags, policy must be made forward looking. Despite any rate increase, the cost of everything from car loans to mortgages is likely to stay low for years to come.
