1 Macroeconomic Uncertainty
2 Importance of Financial Planning There is, in fact, a direct relationship between household financial stability and the stability of the U.S. economy. Thus, the Federal Reserve has an inherent interest in the financial stability and strength of individual households, whose spending, saving, and investing significantly impact economic growth. Ultimately, financially secure households are the backbone of a strong domestic economy. Fed Governor Elizabeth Duke - October 22, 2011
3 Some better than expected numbers in September/October: Industrial production: increased 0.2% (Sept) Manufacturing output increased 0.4% (Sept) The ISM nonmanufacturing index >50. (Sept) The business activity index >50 (Sept) The Conference Board index of leading indicators rose 0.3% (Oct) Business Cycle Index was 0.1% higher (Oct) Housing Market showed some improvement in activity (Oct) Retail Sales increased 1.1% (its largest monthly gain since February (Sept).
4 Job September jobs numbers better than expected Payroll employment rose by 103,000 in September. The unemployment rate was unchanged at 9.1%. Early indicators suggest that labor markets will continue improving in October. Not only were the September figures better than expected Gains for August were revised up measurably from 0 to 57,000. July's figures were also revised from 85,000 to 127,000. Thus, gains averaged 96,000 for the third quarter, just slightly below the second quarter average of 97,000
5 Uncertainty decreases confidence Business Confidence: Less hiring, less investment, less growth Less infrastructure to sustain long term economic growth Consumer Confidence: Less purchases (including large ticket items) Usually 70% of US GDP Investment Confidence: Less residential and non-residential investment Less money flying into the country (currently attenuated by the flight to quality effect)

58 In closing Monetary policy can be a powerful tool, but it is not a panacea for the problems currently faced by the U.S. economy. Fostering healthy growth and job creation is a shared responsibility of all economic policymakers, in close cooperation with the private sector. Fiscal policy is of critical importance, but a wide range of other policies--pertaining to labor markets, housing, trade, taxation, and regulation, for example--also have important roles to play. For our part, we at the Federal Reserve will continue to work to help create an environment that provides the greatest possible economic opportunity for all Americans. Chairman Ben S.
