“I believe monetary policymakers must factor in financial stability concerns,” Rosengren said in a speech in Amsterdam, according to materials released by the Fed.
“Financial intermediaries will need to factor in the possibility of lower rates, particularly during economic downturns, and flatter yield curves,” he said.
Low rates “have implications for monetary policy responsiveness to negative shocks,” he said.
