رَفَعَ البَنْكُ المَرْكزِيُّ الأَمْرِيكِيُّ، الاِحْتِياطِيُّ الفِيدِرالِيُّ، سِعْرَ الفائِدَةِ الرَّئيسِيَّ يَوْمَ الأَرْبِعاءِ، السّادِسَ عَشَرَ مِنْ سِبْتَمْبَرَ ٢٠٢٦.
وَصَوَّتَتِ اللَّجْنَةُ بِالإِجْماعِ عَلَى هٰذا القَرارِ. زادَ البَنْكُ السِّعْرَ بِرُبْعِ نُقْطَةٍ مِئَوِيَّةٍ، فَصارَ بَيْنَ ٣٫٧٥ وَ٤ فِي المِئَةِ.
وَهٰذِهِ أَوَّلُ زِيادَةٍ مُنْذُ عامِ ٢٠٢٣. وَقالَ البَنْكُ إِنَّ الأَسْعارَ ما زالَتْ تَرْتَفِعُ بِسُرْعَةٍ.
لِذٰلِكَ، يُريدُ خَفْضَ التَّضَخُّمِ وَإِعادَتَهُ إِلى نِسْبَةِ ٢ فِي المِئَةِ. وَقالَ أَيْضًا إِنَّ الاقْتِصادَ الأَمْرِيكِيَّ يَنْمو بِشَكْلٍ جَيِّدٍ. وَلَمْ يَتَغَيَّرْ مُعَدَّلُ البَطالَةِ كَثيرًا، حَسَبَ البَنْكِ.
