MNI Interview with SF Fed Director of Research Sylvain Leduc on Supercore Inflation, August 21, 2023

“The U.S. economy still faces the risk that supercore inflation remains stubborn even as the job market moderates,” Sylvain Leduc, Director of Research at the San Francisco Fed told MNI’s Greg Quinn.

The Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco (SF Fed) works to advance the nation’s monetary, financial, and payment systems to build a stronger economy for all Americans. As part of the U.S. central bank, the SF Fed serves the Twelfth Federal Reserve District, which covers the nine western states—Alaska, Arizona, California, Hawai’i, Idaho, Nevada, Oregon, Utah, and Washington—plus American Samoa, Guam, and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands. By pursuing our two key goals of maximum employment and price stability—known as the Fed’s dual mandate—we work toward supporting an economy that works for everyone.
