Financial Conditions and Risks to the Economic Outlook


Abstract: Financial conditions have swung considerably over the past two and half years. They moved from very accommodative levels in late 2021 to providing a significant drag on economic activity in 2022 and 2023. Since early this year, they eased moderately amid monetary policy communications signaling that the federal funds rate had likely reached its peak for this monetary policy tightening cycle.
