Increased Pressure on the Fed's Dual Mandate in Washington

Reported about 8 hours ago

The Federal Reserve's longstanding dual mandate of maintaining stable prices and maximizing employment is facing new scrutiny in Washington, as GOP pressures mount.

The proposal would amend the Federal Reserve Act to align with the practices of global central banks, although some former officials argue that the effectiveness of dual versus single mandates remains unproven.
