The Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) announced it would leave the benchmark federal funds rate unchanged, keeping it in the range of between 5.0% and 5.25% — the highest level since October 2007. The move marked the first pause after ten increases since March 2022. The FOMC statement stated that “Holding the target range steady at this meeting allows the Committee to assess additional information and its implications for monetary policy. In determining the extent of additional policy firming that may be appropriate to return inflation to 2 percent over time.” The dot-plot projections pointed to two more 25-basis point rate hikes this year, as the 2023 median expectation for the federal funds rate ticked up from 5.1% in March. The median fed funds rate is expected to be 5.6% in 2023, 4.6% in 2024, and 3.4% in 2025. The FOMC’s latest projections forecast the annual GDP growth to be 1.0% in 2023, 1.1% in 2024, and 1.8% in 2025. Inflation for headline/core is projected to be 3.2% / 3.9% in 2023, 2.5% / 2.6% in 2024, and 2.1% / 2.2% in 2025.
