Fed Kashkari

• I am optimistic that fundamentals of the economy are very strong.
• There is some evidence of some softening around the edges of the economy.
• We are getting disinflation despite remarkable economic growth.
• The interest rate outlook depends on the path of the economy.
• Wage growth might still be a bit too high to get back to 2% right now.
• It will probably take a year or two to get inflation back to 2%.
• The economy keeps throwing us curveballs, which are challenging
• I don't see the value proposition of CBDC for the US
