Hill Statement on Fed Interest Rate Hike

Statement

Date: Dec. 14, 2016
Location: Washington, DC
Issues: Monetary Policy

Today, after the Federal Reserve announced its decision to raise interest rates, Congressman French Hill (AR-2) released the below statement:

"Today's decision by the Federal Reserve to raise interest rates for the first time in 2016--and just the second time since 2006--is a delayed move considering the increase in market interest rates over the past four months. The Federal Reserve needs to develop a more rules-based approach to monetary policy, such as that contained in the Financial Choice Act, to prevent ambiguity and unpredictability in future decisions."
