US Treasury Secretary Bessent supports Fed’s elimination of forward guidance
US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has expressed strong support for the Federal Reserve's decision to eliminate forward guidance. He criticized the Fed's economic projections as misleading and called for a shift towards real-time data. Bessent's views align with those of potential future Fed Chair nominee Kevin Warsh, who advocates for reducing reliance on long-term forecasts.
- ▪Bessent described the Fed's Summary of Economic Projections as an 'embarrassment' and suggested it should be abolished.
- ▪He highlighted that the Fed's two-year GDP projections overstated growth by 7.6% from 2010 to 2016.
- ▪Bessent's criticism includes a significant error in inflation projections, missing the 2021 PCE inflation rate by 4 percentage points.
