Atlanta Fed CEO Dennis Lockhart Opts for Low Rates, Keeps an Eye on Exports
Tuesday, September 22nd, 2015
His motivation last week to vote in favor of keeping interest rates low was prudent and he’s not overly concerned about downward pressures on U.S. exports, Dennis Lockhart, president and CEO of the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta, told the Buckhead Rotary Club Monday luncheon.
A member of the Federal Open Market Committee, Mr. Lockhart’s address was mostly upbeat about the domestic economy including developments for transportation, logistics, tourism and lodging, residential construction, commercial real estate and business services.
