PCE inflation and core PCE inflation are the percentage rates of change in, respectively, the price index for personal consumption expenditures (PCE) and theprice index for PCE excluding food and energy. Projections for the unemployment rate are for the average civilian unemployment rate in the fourth quarter of the yearindicated. Each participant's projections are based on his or her assessment of appropriate monetary policy. Longer-run projections represent each participant’sassessment of the rate to which each variable would be expected to converge under appropriate monetary policy and in the absence of further shocks to the economy. TheJune projections were made in conjunction with the FOMC meeting on June 22-23, 2010.1. The central tendency excludes the three highest and three lowest projections for each variable in each year.2. The range for a variable in a given year includes all participants' projections, from lowest to highest, for that variable in that year.3. Longer-run projections for core PCE inflation are not collected.Authorized for Public Release – 1 of 35

As a result, while the economy isanticipated to revert back to maximum employment within a five years horizon, inflation is likely to remainbelow the target.Respondent 4:N/ARespondent 5:I expect the convergence process will be similar to that outlined in the long-run projection reportedin the Tealbook, with the output and unemployment gaps reaching zero in about five years, and the PCEprice inflation rate reaching its long-run value of 2 percent in six to seven years.Respondent 6:N/ARespondent 7:N/ARespondent 8:I expect, as in Tealbook, that inflation may take longer than five to six years to return to the 2% level Iconsider most consistent with our dual mandate.Respondent 9:N/ARespondent 10:Given the recession’s depth, uncertainty in the business community about government programs and regula tory change, higher prospective marginal tax rates, and the difficult adjustments that are needed, convergencemay well require the full six years.Respondent 11:By 2015-16 potential growth is 2.4%, down from our current estimate of 2.5-2.7%, as the baby boomersretire. A reasonable estimate for the long-run unemployment rate is 4% to 6%. We would expect, withappropriate policy and no further adverse shocks, unemployment to be in this range and the output gap tobe around zero by 2016.We assume long-term inflation expectations to be anchored around 2.5% on a CPI basis and the FOMC’s

inflation objective to be around 2% for the PCE deflator and around 2.5% for the CPI. Under these condi tions, with the output gap around zero, we would expect PCE inflation of around 2%.Respondent 12:The convergence process may be slightly shorter than 5-6 years.Respondent 13:N/ARespondent 14:I anticipate that the convergence process for real GDP growth will be substantially shorter than 5-6 years,perhaps on the order of 3-4 years for real growth (with a period of overshoot of real growth in the interimduring recovery), and an overshoot (above 1.5%) in the interim in inflation as a consequence of significantpast growth in the monetary base supported by longer term asset purchases that cannot be sold off over avery short time period. I anticipate that the decline in the unemployment rate will lag behind the recoveryof real growth.Respondent 15:In light of the severity of the recession and the historical norms of jobless recoveries and recoveries thatfollow financial crises, the convergence process for unemployment will likely take longer than five to sixyears. In addition, I am concerned that further monetary stimulus and delay in removing extraordinarypolicy accommodation will lead to financial imbalances that could eventually destabilize the economy andfurther prolong the convergence process. These same monetary forces could also cause long-term inflationexpectations to become unanchored and lengthen the convergence process.Respondent 16:unemployment may take considerably longerRespondent 17:My view has been that, In light of the severity and breadth of shocks to the economy and the consequentsignificant impacts on government, firm, and household behavior, the convergence process may well extendbeyond five or six years to something closer to a total of eight years. At this point, we are a couple of yearsinto that process, so an additional five or six years from the present now seems about right.Respondent 18:N/A

There are few historical precedents to inform us how an economy evolvesunder such conditions, including how it responds to the unconventional policies we must use to address theseconditions. Potential changes in fiscal policies also add uncertainty to the outlook, though these are a largerissue for the medium and longer-term forecast than the near-term projection.Respondent 5:The aftereffects of the financial crisis, turmoil in Europe, and uncertainty regarding the effects of unconven tional monetary policy increase uncertainty regarding the outlook for economic growth relative to the past20 years. The heightened risks to the outlook for economic activity, as well as the elevated variability ofcommodity prices, increase uncertainty regarding the outlook for inflation.Respondent 6:N/ARespondent 7:Inflation expectations would be more firmly anchored under an appropriate monetary policy, and uncertaintywould therefore be lower than the trailing 20-year average.Respondent 8:I judge the outlook for GDP growth and unemployment to be unusually uncertain due to the challengesand asymmetric downside risks associated with the presence of the zero bound, and increased reliance onnonconventional policies with uncertain multipliers. Fiscal contraction in many advanced economies createsrisks to the outlook and the possibility of further shocks to the financial systemRespondent 9:N/ARespondent 10:N/ARespondent 11:Quantitative judgment based on the standard deviation of the FRBNY forecast distribution for GDP growthand core PCE inflation relative to the forecast errors over the last 20 years.Respondent 12:Financial market conditions continue to improve and the economy is in recovery. However, the soft patch

this summer has led me to revise down my near-term forecast and contributes to some increased uncertaintyin my forecast. In addition, the effect of the extraordinary monetary policy in place and uncertainties sur rounding the future path of policy, including the timing of the exit from accommodative policy, contributeto uncertainty around my inflation forecast.Respondent 13:N/ARespondent 14:N/ARespondent 15:The uncertainty surrounding my projections remains higher than normal. I generally agree with Tealbook’sassessment of the sources of uncertainty, but I would add fiscal policy to the list. Various aspects of fiscalpolicy - such as questions of fiscal sustainability, the expiration of the Bush tax cuts, and indexation ofthe AMT - add considerable uncertainty to the outlook. The public’s uncertainty about the conduct ofmonetary policy is also adding to uncertainty in the economic outlook.Respondent 16:volatility was unusually low over the past 20 yearsRespondent 17:N/ARespondent 18:N/A

Firms have displayed an unusual ability to squeeze out gains in laborproductivity during the recession and early expansion. We see a possibility that going forward we could besurprised again at firms’ ability to meet increases in demand with further gains in output per worker. Wealso see an upside risk to the unemployment rate forecast from a faster-than-anticipated recovery in laborforce participation,The potential additional slack associated with the upside risk to the unemployment rate implies a cor responding downside risk to our inflation outlook. In addition, there is a downside risk to inflation if thecontinued low readings on actual inflation show through to some downward movement in inflation expecta tions.Respondent 5:The limited appetite for further fiscal stimulus both in the United States and abroad means that fiscal policyactions are unlikely to damp future negative shocks to the economy. In addition, the anticipated recoveryof the housing market may take much longer than we expect. As a result, the risks to the outlook foreconomic activity are weighted somewhat to the downside. Correspondingly, the risks to the outlook for theunemployment rate are weighted to the upside. The inflation risks appear to be roughly balanced.Respondent 6:N/ARespondent 7:N/ARespondent 8:The fact that monetary policy is constrained by the zero bound and fiscal policy is constrained by the needto address unsustainable longer-term budget deficits creates an asymmetry in the ability of policymakers torespond to upside and downside shocks, resulting in risks to growth that are weighted to the downside andrisks to unemployment that are weighted to the upside.Respondent 9:The assumed pickup in growth in 2011 and beyond remains hypothetical; there is little actual evidence thatthat is happening. Re inflation, the dollar, commodities pose an upside risk, but there is also some risk ofmore disinflation, which is not at all uncommon following deep recessions.Respondent 10:

N/ARespondent 11:Quantitative judgment based on the difference between the projection and the expected value from theFRBNY forecast distribution.Respondent 12:The incoming data has led me to shade down my near-term path for growth compared to my June forecast.Going forward, I view the risks to growth as balanced and inflation as weighted to the upside.
