Mary Daly

President, Federal Reserve Bank Of San Francisco

Search every verified Mary Daly interview, podcast appearance, and on-the-record quote — each transcript cross-checked by AI and human review to confirm speaker identity. Mary Daly, president of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco, discussed the Fed’s communications regime and monetary policy in an October 2026 podcast with the Hoover Institution. She said the Fed’s approach to communications has changed under Chairman Kevin Warsh, and she addressed topics including the implications of AI for monetary policy, wage stickiness, and cyber risks to the banking system. Daly noted that supply shocks have pushed inflation above wage growth, leaving real wages flat for many workers, and said that additional policy action in that context could worsen the situation. She also said cyber risk is a high priority for the Fed, adding that the technology is changing quickly and there is more work to do. In August 2026 Bloomberg interviews, Daly said the US Treasury market signals that monetary policy is in a good place, attributing long-end yield movements to structural factors such as fiscal sustainability, geopolitical rebalancing, and AI investment, and noting that these moves are occurring globally. She said the Fed focuses on the short end of the yield curve and on restoring price stability, and she described her modal outlook as one in which inflation is driven by a series of shocks that will dissipate, allowing inflation to return to target with policy at a slightly restrictive level. Daly said she does not see the Fed’s credibility at risk and does not see evidence that preemptive rate cuts or hikes are an urgent problem. She also said she is not ready to stop worrying about inflation risks after a softer inflation print, and that the labor market remains relatively stable while inflation is still missing the 2% goal.

Notable quotes

“That is and I will say absolutely that's how I feel today. But if you had come we talked 6 months ago I was very much on the look through part. Okay. And but now the just the preponderance of evidence about their duration and where I'm seeing producers a little more willing to pass along prices. We're seeing them pass along things to other businesses. We're hearing from surveys that businesses are more willing to rai”

“I do not take that for granted. I think that would be a mistake if we simply said, 'Well, they're anchored, so they'll always be anchored.' That's how you get into dangerous territory. So one of the things that I do all the time is look at inflation expectations, short run, medium run, long run, surveys, consumers, businesses, market pricing of inflation. And something that caught my attention in the time periods lea”

“I think we're still in a good place to keep watching the data. As I mentioned, the two prints that have come out on inflation and the labor market didn't make didn't really clear much up for me. I'm not going to get on the bandwagon of C. We had a softer inflation print. Uh we should stop worrying about the risks of higher inflation. I don't think that's right.”

“My modal outlook is that inflation is being driven up by a series of shocks and those shocks will roll up they'll roll down they'll roll through and as that dissipates then inflation will return to target in part because we have policy at a very slightly restrictive level.”

“We are missing on our inflation goal quite a bit and the labor market is relatively stable. So a lot of my attention is on that inflation miss and how to get this back down to 2% and when do I have a sufficient amount of confidence to say we're on our way.”

“I don't see our credibility at risk. I also hear a lot about should we be making preemptive cuts or hikes rather, and I don't see a lot of evidence that that's an urgent problem to solve.”
