Others fear that, even without such financial shocks, the economy’s current strong performance will not continue when interest rates are raised. And still other FOMC members want to hold down interest rates in order to drive the unemployment rate even lower, despite the prospects of accelerating inflation and further financial-sector risks.
这就是现在美联储在考虑货币政策“正常化”时所面临的局面。联邦公开市场委员会（FOMC，美联储决策机构）的一些委员因此担心，提高短期联邦基金利率会导致长期利率大幅上升，造成投资者和贷款人损失，经济也受到拖累。也有委员担心，即使没有这些金融冲击，美国经济目前的强劲表现也会因为利率提高而终止。其他一些委员希望维持低利率以使失业率进一步下降，尽管这有可能加速通胀、继续增加金融部门风险。
