remains below its two percent target. janet yellen meanwhile been holding her last major press conference before he sets down februar. president all trump did not renew her appointment is at he nominated jerome powell who has indicated he will largely continue the fed's slow but steady approach to policy shifts. sitting there zipping fed chief did though say that low inflation remains a risk take a listen. there is uncertainty about what's holding inflation down but my colleagues and i continue to believe that the factors that are responsible this year for holding inflation down. are likely to prove true story. that said we recognize that there's been a prolonged short full. earlier i spoke to randy cross their former federal reserve governor himself and now economics professor at the university of chicago booth school of business at has an insight about what is move says about the state of america's economy. it shows a confidence that the fed has in the economic

recovery we've now been growing of last couple of quarters about three percent for of around two percent. inflation is still below the two percent target but i think it shows that the fed thinks that the economy is strong enough to try to regularize rates even befor. inflation gets up to his goal of two percent. federal funds rate as he said does remain fairly accommodative is this a new normal from country policy in the united states i think it's likely that interest rates are going to being a lower. going forward than they have in the past editor few reasons for that one of which is because people have much lower expectationons about inflation. there's been much more of a risk of offside to inflation now we don't seem to have that in the u. s. and really don't seem to have that in europe i that. now this is a very does tend to distance itself from political developments and there is a formal fed it former fed official yoursel. you must know that must be some discussion of the economic impact a certain proposals things just like the republicans tax reform plans what's your assessment

of how this bill might affect future decisions. so i think has said she powell the hab person who were out had the president nominated to replace janet yellen had said in his. my confirmation hearings. they will probably do the analysis after or they not only probably they will do the analysis after the bill is passed is we're still not sure about all the pieces. but i think undoubtedly given what we do know about it it will be positive for two thousand and eighteen and the fed will take that into account when it's doing its policy next year. that this may help to bruce both growth further beyond perhaps even three percent. and republicans in the us house of representatives and the senate have been trying to combine their two versions of that tax reform legislation. down from his at the lawmakers are quote very close to what he describes as a historic legislative victory. there are still few details about what the final bill will contain the u. s. president indicated some flexibility

the stated goal of lowering the corporate tax rate from its current thirty five percentt. to twenty percent that he's promised in the past. thirty five right now. so they got down to twenty one i would certainly as east i would be thrilled. this a condemnned we have. we have been sent that final figure yet but. certainly twenty one is a very is a very great difference. you can on the markets now investors had already priced in the fed's interest rate hike like us in the market reaction has been fairly muted but positive. also continuing its gains on the session of the dow jones has jumped on the reports that tax overhaul maybe making progress is up about how the percentatage point is our. major european is the spanish under pressure accounts and tax each losing about half a percentage point. utilities sector slipped about two percent. that european central bank meanwhile is holding its last meeting of the year no major policy announcements expected from that on thursday.
