Cleveland Fed President Beth Hammack explained why she voted against at this week's rate-setting meeting, saying that the interest rate should be kept stable until further progress is made in reducing inflation. Hammack said she believed that the interest rate was close to a neutral level that would neither drag down nor stimulate the economy, and suggested that it should remain high enough to moderately restrict economic activity for a period of time. In a statement released on Friday, Hammack wrote, 'Based on my estimation, the monetary policy is not far from a neutral stance, and I tend to keep the policy unchanged until we see further evidence that the inflation rate is falling back to our 2% target.'
