  • The policy statement highlighted that while risks exist, economic growth remains stable.

The U.S. Federal Reserve decided to maintain the policy rate between 4.25% and 4.50%. This reflects that although economic growth is steady, there are risks linked to rising inflation and unemployment.

Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell stated that the U.S. economy may continue to grow steadily, but uncertainty caused by President Donald Trump’s tax policies and rising inflation could potentially slow growth.
