Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis President Neel Kashkari speaking.

  • Says inflation is very high
  • it's the job of the Fed to address this
  • half to two-thirds of high US inflation is driven by supply side shocks
  • there is some evidence that supply chains are Beginning to normalise
  • we need to get some help on the supply side to get inflation down
  • the more help we get from the supply side, the less the Fed has to do and the better prospect of avoiding a hard landing
