Bowman Warns of Labor Market Fragility as Inflation Heads Toward 2%
Bowman, speaking at the New England Economic Forum, argues inflation is trending toward the 2% goal as tariff effects fade, but a fragile labor market warrants a proactive, data‑driven, moderately restrictive policy with no preset course. She notes 75 basis points of rate cuts since September, cites AI-driven productivity as a growth support, and outlines ongoing supervisory and regulatory modernization to strengthen financial stability amid evolving conditions.
