美聯儲利率決議全文（中英對照）
【摘要】當地時間12月10日，美聯儲以9-3的投票比例將基準利率下調25個基點至3.50%-3.75%。
可用的數據表明，經濟活動正以溫和的步伐擴張。今年以來就業(yè)增長放緩，失業(yè)率截至9月有所上升。更近期的指標與上述情況一致。通脹較年初有所上升，仍處于偏高水平。
委員會的長期目標是實現最大就業(yè)和2%的通脹率。經濟前景的不確定性依然處于高位。委員會密切關注其雙重使命兩端的風險，并認為近數月就業(yè)方面的下行風險有所上升。
為支持上述目標，并考慮到風險平衡的變化，委員會決定將聯邦基金利率目標區(qū)間下調25個基點至3.50%至3.75%。在評估是否需要對聯邦基金利率目標區(qū)間進行進一步調整的幅度和時機時，委員會將仔細評估最新數據、不斷變化的經濟前景以及風險平衡。委員會堅定致力于支持最大就業(yè)，并使通脹回到2%的目標。
在評估適當的貨幣政策立場時，委員會將繼續(xù)監(jiān)測最新信息對經濟前景的影響。如果出現可能阻礙實現委員會目標的風險，委員會將準備適時調整貨幣政策立場。委員會的判斷將考慮廣泛的信息，包括勞動力市場狀況、通脹壓力與通脹預期，以及金融與國際形勢的發(fā)展。
委員會認為，準備金余額已下降至充足水平，并將按需啟動購買短期美國國債，以在持續(xù)基礎上維持充足的準備金供應。
投票支持此次貨幣政策行動的有：主席杰羅姆·鮑威爾（Jerome H. Powell）、副主席約翰·威廉姆斯（John C. Williams）、邁克爾·巴爾（Michael S. Barr）、米歇爾·鮑曼（Michelle W. Bowman）、蘇珊·柯林斯（Susan M. Collins）、麗莎·庫克（Lisa D. Cook）、菲利普·杰斐遜（Philip N. Jefferson）、阿爾貝托·穆薩萊姆（Alberto G. Musalem）以及克里斯托弗·沃勒（Christopher J. Waller）。投票反對的有史蒂芬·米蘭（Stephen I. Miran），其傾向于在本次會議上將聯邦基金利率目標區(qū)間下調1/2個百分點；以及奧斯汀·古爾斯比（Austan D. Goolsbee）和杰弗里·施密德（Jeffrey R. Schmid），他們傾向于本次會議維持聯邦基金利率目標區(qū)間不變。
Available indicators suggest that economic activity has been expanding at a moderate pace. Job gains have slowed this year, and the unemployment rate has edged up through September. More recent indicators are consistent with these developments. Inflation has moved up since earlier in the year and remains somewhat elevated.
The Committee seeks to achieve maximum employment and inflation at the rate of 2 percent over the longer run. Uncertainty about the economic outlook remains elevated. The Committee is attentive to the risks to both sides of its dual mandate and judges that downside risks to employment rose in recent months.
In support of its goals and in light of the shift in the balance of risks, the Committee decided to lower the target range for the federal funds rate by 1/4 percentage point to 3-1/2 to 3?3/4 percent. In considering the extent and timing of additional adjustments to the target range for the federal funds rate, the Committee will carefully assess incoming data, the evolving outlook, and the balance of risks. The Committee is strongly committed to supporting maximum employment and returning inflation to its 2 percent objective.
In assessing the appropriate stance of monetary policy, the Committee will continue to monitor the implications of incoming information for the economic outlook. The Committee would be prepared to adjust the stance of monetary policy as appropriate if risks emerge that could impede the attainment of the Committee's goals. The Committee's assessments will take into account a wide range of information, including readings on labor market conditions, inflation pressures and inflation expectations, and financial and international developments.
The Committee judges that reserve balances have declined to ample levels and will initiate purchases of shorter-term Treasury securities as needed to maintain an ample supply of reserves on an ongoing basis.
Voting for the monetary policy action were Jerome H. Powell, Chair; John C. Williams, Vice Chair; Michael S. Barr; Michelle W. Bowman; Susan M. Collins; Lisa D. Cook; Philip N. Jefferson; Alberto G. Musalem; and Christopher J. Waller. Voting against this action were Stephen I. Miran, who preferred to lower the target range for the federal funds rate by 1/2 percentage point at this meeting; and Austan D. Goolsbee and Jeffrey R. Schmid, who preferred no change to the target range for the federal funds rate at this meeting.
