In the US, where the Federal Reserve is running a similarly loose monetary policy, the situation looks rosier – at least at first sight. The US economy is staging a more convincing recovery than the UK, and, in contrast to the Bank of England and the European Central Bank, the Fed is not explicitly mandated by Congress to achieve a specific inflation target.
相反在美国，虽然美联储也在执行一个类似的宽松货币政策，情况却更加乐观。相对于英国，美国经济的复苏更加可信，同时与英格兰银行和欧洲中央银行相比，美国国会也并未向美联储下达要求将通胀精确控制在某个点位的指令。
