Christopher Waller, a member of the Federal Reserve Board of Governors, has recently spoken at several events about monetary policy, inflation, and the economic impact of artificial intelligence. At a Central Bank of Turkey forum in Istanbul in October 2026, Waller said he anticipated additional interest rate hikes to bring inflation back to the Fed's 2% target, while noting that hikes did not need to occur at consecutive meetings. He cited stronger economic activity, elevated energy prices, and trade tensions as risks to the inflation outlook. At a Reuters NEXT event in September 2026, Waller said recent data showed signs of disinflation and expressed willingness to hold the policy rate steady if progress toward the 2% goal continued, while also stating he would consider a rate hike if inflation came in hot. Waller has also focused on the role of AI in the economy and financial systems. At the 2026 Bloomberg New Economy Forum in New Delhi, he discussed how AI investment could affect inflation and global capital flows. In a speech at Sibos 2026, he addressed the potential for AI-driven "agentic commerce" in payments, highlighting challenges around authentication, liability, and fraud. He also delivered opening remarks at the FRED Con conference on economic data, where he discussed the importance of official data sources and the potential for AI to reshape data analysis.

As investors, businesses and policymakers weigh the outlook for interest rates, inflation and growth, the path ahead for the world's largest economy remains a defining question for global markets. The U.S. Federal Reserve is facing increasingly intense questioning from economists and financial markets about its commitment under new Chairman Kevin Warsh to bring cost pressures down, with inflation sitting above its 2% target for more than five years. Fed Governor Christopher Waller, now in his sixth year as a U.S. central banker, has so far supported Warsh-led decisions to hold interest rates…

“Yeah, I'd say there's a lot of academic research coming out in the US that that safety liquidity premium on US treasuries is gone. It's gone. So that was always the following. People would pay more for a US Treasury because it's safe, liquid, easy to trade compared to other government debt potentially. So that higher price they're willing to pay means a lower yield on that debt. But if you no longer feel like it's a ”
“Yeah, I mean the whole buildout obviously if you're building out several trillion dollars of investment in AI and you have to buy all that stuff and your demand is perfectly inelastic.

“So if the economic data continue to come in as expected, I anticipate additional hikes to support a timelier return of inflation to our 2% goal. But there's some flexibility about when those hikes will occur. The hikes do not need to come at consecutive meetings, but they should be in place in an acceptable period of time.”
“So, as you know, in September, the Federal Open Market Committee or FOMC voted to raise our policy rate 25 basis points to 3.75 to 4% after 9 months during which we held the rate steady. When monetary policy changes in this fashion, one question that most people ask is what comes next? And I promise I'll do my best to answer that today. But first, I will address another question raised by this shift in policy, which ”
