Federal Reserve meeting minutes: Participants generally expect economic growth to accelerate in 2026

According to Odaily, the minutes of the Federal Reserve meeting indicated that participants generally expect economic growth to accelerate in 2026, and that in the medium term, economic activity will expand at a pace roughly in line with potential output. Many participants anticipate that adjustments in fiscal policy, regulatory policy, or more favorable financial market conditions will support economic growth. However, participants believe that the uncertainty surrounding their forecasts for real GDP growth remains very high. In addition, some participants pointed out that structural factors such as technological progress and increased productivity (possibly reflecting the growing application of artificial intelligence) could promote economic growth without generating price pressures, but may also restrain employment growth.
