At 3 am Beijing time on November 10, Powell, Chairman of the Federal Reserve, delivered a speech at the expert panel meeting held by the IMF.

北京时间11月10日凌晨3点，美联储主席鲍威尔在IMF举办的专家小组会议上发表讲话。

Fed Chairman Jerome Powell said the central bank would "continue to proceed cautiously"; If appropriate, the Fed will not hesitate to raise rates.

美联储主席鲍威尔表示，美联储将“继续谨慎行事”；如果合适，美联储将毫不犹豫地加息。

Powell said there was a risk that focusing on strong growth could undermine the process of slowing inflation, which could require a monetary policy response.

鲍威尔称，关注强劲增长可能会破坏通胀放缓进程的风险，这可能需要货币政策做出反应 。

In his view, U.S. inflation has fallen but remains well above the 2 percent target. He was pleased with the progress of inflation, but admitted that "there is still a long way to go".

他认为，美国通胀已经下降，但仍远高于2%的目标。并对通胀进展感到满意，但坦言“还有很长的路要走”。

Powell said the U.S. labor market remains tight but is moving toward a better balance. GDP growth is expected to slow in the coming quarters, but remains to be seen.

鲍威尔称，美国劳动力市场依然紧张，但正在走向更好的平衡；预计未来几个季度GDP增长将放缓，但仍有待观察。

'More progress on inflation in the future may have to come from tighter monetary policy, not just supply-side improvements,' he said. The Fed will begin its next framework review in the second half of 2024.

他表示，未来通胀取得更大进展可能必须来自紧缩的货币政策，而不仅仅是供给侧的改善；美联储将于2024年下半年开始下一次框架检讨。

It is reported that at the expert group meeting, environmental protesters once again interrupted the speech of Federal Reserve Chairman Powell, and the chairman of the Federal Reserve Powell briefly left the International Monetary Fund event. Environmental protesters were ejected from the IMF event by security personnel.
