Fed Tightens Discount Rate to Curb Credit Demand
The Federal Reserve approves a rise in the discount rate from 2 to 2.5 percent across six districts to curb inflationary credit growth. The action, effective today in New York, Richmond, Chicago, Dallas, San Francisco and Kansas City, makes borrowing more expensive for banks and slows consumer and business loans. If inflation recedes by early next year, a tax cut may be easier to propose. The move marks the highest rate in 20 years and aims to restrain rapid debt expansion amid strong borrowing.
