Fed's Plosser warns rate hike may come sooner than expected
BY HOWARD SCHNEIDER
WASHINGTON Tue May 20， 2014 1:35pm EDT
(Reuters) - A strengthening U.S. economy may force the central bank to hike rates "sooner rather than later" to stay ahead of inflation， Philadelphia Federal Reserve President Charles Plosser said on Tuesday.
Affirming his hawkish stance， Plosser in a Washington speech said the Fed is at risk of falling "behind the curve" in its control of inflation if policy stays at its current loose level as the economy grows and the labor market continues to improve.
He said he sees growth at 3 percent this year， despite a dim first-quarter result that he， along with many Fed members， have attributed to severe winter weather.
Overall the U.S. economy "is on the firmest footing it has been on since the recovery began，" Plosser said according to a prepared text distributed ahead of his remarks at a housing conference. He dismissed the first-quarter reading as an aberration and said the "underlying details are...encouraging."
"As we continue to move closer to our 2 percent inflation goal and the labor market improves， we must be prepared to adjust policy appropriately，" said Plosser， who currently serves as one of the regional bank members on the Fed's main policy-setting committee. "That may well require us to begin raising interest rates sooner rather than later."
