Bullard Speaks with Bloomberg TV about Tapering, QE Effectiveness

November 20, 2013

St. Louis Fed President James Bullard said the cumulative progress in labor markets argument is the most powerful one for tapering the Fed's asset purchases. While there has been cumulative improvement since the program started, he noted that the question for tapering is whether that progress can be sustained going forward and whether inflation will move closer to the Fed's target. Bullard discussed these topics during an interview on Bloomberg Television's "Market Makers."
