Federal Reserve Governor Michelle Bowman has emphasized the need for a pragmatic approach to monetary policy, highlighting the importance of balancing the Fed's dual mandate of inflation and employment. Bowman suggests adopting a flexible strategy when conflicts arise between these objectives, rather than prioritizing one over the other. She stresses the importance of transparency and consistency in policy to maintain the Federal Reserve's credibility and effectiveness. Bowman also notes the necessity of being vigilant against the secondary impacts of persistent conflicts on inflation expectations, while advising policymakers to moderately disregard "transitory inflation shocks."
