The United States central bank has raised an important interest rate by one-fourth of 1 percent. The federal funds rate, a rate paid by banks for short-term loans, is now one-half of 1 percent.
Janet Yellen, the first woman to lead the Federal Reserve System, spoke after the announcement. The decision was based on a few factors, Yellen said. Economic growth is expected to continue in the U.S. Another reason to increase interest rates, Yellen noted, was the low official rate of inflation. The central bank has said its target inflation rate is 2 percent. It says that rate would help support employment and keep prices stable. However, inflation currently is not at the target rate, but below 1 percent. The federal reserve chief also said the strong labor market provided another reason to raise rates. The U.S. economy is adding about 200,000 jobs each month.
1 What is the news report mainly about?
2 What do we learn about the target inflation rate set by the central bank?
选项
A、It is expected to grow.
B、It is set below 1 percent.
C、It would affect interest rates.
D、It would be good for price stability.
答案
D
解析
题目询问由美国央行设定的target inflation rate“目标通胀率”的相关信息。新闻提到央行将target inflation rate设定在2%,央行表示该通胀率有助于支持就业(help support employment)和保持物价稳定(keep prices stable),D中的price stability与后者对应,其中的stability是stable的名词形式。
