[Federal Reserve's Mester: Tariff impacts continue to ripple through the economy, restoring inflation to 2% is crucial] BlockBeats News, October 18, Federal Reserve's Mester stated that the impact of tariffs continues to ripple through the economy. Tariffs will permeate the economy and persist until mid-next year. Retailers are feeling increasing pressure to pass on the tariffs. Inflation remains a very serious issue for consumers. It is crucial for the Federal Reserve to restore the inflation rate to 2%. I am fully committed to the 2% (inflation) target and believe the Federal Reserve equally supports this goal. (Jin10)
