Introduction of a New Data Series by the Regional Central Bank
The regional arm of the central bank shared this insight as part of a fresh data series aimed at examining the different risks threatening the economy. The details of this new series were further elaborated in a blog post on the bank's website.
Key Role of Changing Financial Conditions
The NY Fed pointed out that evolving financial conditions are crucial to their work. The bank observed that the "downside risk to real activities has lessened during 2023, yet remains high."
Fluctuations in Unemployment and Inflation Risks
The report also highlighted that the risk of increased unemployment, which saw a substantial rise last year, has toned down this year but remains heightened. Furthermore, the bank's actions have successfully diminished the risk of inflation escalation.
