Sansad TV
In this episode of the Perspective Prog. Based on ‘US Fed Rate Hike’. Intensifying its fight against high inflation, the United States Federal Reserve has raised its key interest rate by a substantial three-quarters of a point for a third straight time. US Fed’s move on Wednesday boosted its benchmark short-term rate, which affects many consumer and business loans, to a range of 3 percent to 3.25 percent, the highest level since early 2008. It also signalled more significant increases in new projections showing its policy rate rising to 4.40% by the end of this year before topping out at 4.60% in 2023 to battle continued strong inflation. Central banks across the world are also hiking rates in an attempt to tackle inflation. At least 75 central banks have lifted their benchmark interest rates in the past year, increasing the price of credit across the world.
