FOMC Participants See Elevated GDP Uncertainty with Balanced Risks, Fed Projections Show
According to a chart in the Federal Reserve's economic projections, a majority of Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) participants currently view actual GDP as facing elevated uncertainty, with risks seen as roughly balanced. This marks a shift from the June projections, where the number of participants who viewed uncertainty as roughly balanced was equal to those who viewed it as elevated, and risks were also seen as roughly balanced. The assessment is based on the Fed's Summary of Economic Projections, which includes participants' individual views on the level of uncertainty and risk surrounding their GDP forecasts. The change indicates that more policymakers now perceive greater uncertainty about economic growth, though they do not see the risks as skewed to either the upside or downside.
