Raising Interest Rates: Why does it take so long?

Presented by Dr. George Tsetsekos, Francis Professor of Finance and Dean Emeritus Lecture starts at 12pm,Q&A and Networking to follow Event is free and lunch will be provided

Since the 2008 financial crisis, the Federal Reserve has implemented an aggressive accommodating monetary policy that has yielded low interest rates. Following declines in unemployment and modest increase in GDP all expect normalization in interest rates. Anemic growth, lack of wage increases, and global economic pressures have prevented a lift-off in rates. In anticipation of the next Fed meeting Dr. Tsetsekos will explore prevailing scenarios leading to increases in interest rates.
