Greenspan assesses crisis
WASHINGTON — Federal Reserve Chairperson Alan Greenspan told Congress yesterday that the Persian Gulf crisis had piled "new and substantial risks" on an already faltering national economy.
In an assessment of U.S. economic prospects, Greenspan said the jump in oil prices since Iraq's invasion of Kuwait on Aug. 2 had increased the threat of both higher inflation and a recession.
The Associated Press
But the chairperson of the central bank rejected suggestions that U.S. economic policy-makers were in effect being held hostage by Iraqi President Saddam Hussein.
Private economists said Greenspan's pessimistic comments reflected the tough choices facing him. Normally rising unemployment and other signs of shogun growth would prompt the central bank to slash interest rates in order to spur demand
But, while increasing the money supply, this measure probably would lead to an increase in prices. And the oil price shock already has put the country in the grips of its worst bout of inflation in nine years. Consumer prices are climbing at an annual rate of 6.2 percent.
He conceded that the Federal Reserve's job of promoting non-inflationary growth had been made more difficult by the unfolding events in the financial crisis. As a result, he still had the tools to mitigate the economic fallout.
Financial markets had been eagerly awaiting Greenspan's first report on economic conditions since the Persian Gulf turmoil began. But for the most part they reacted with disappointment as the Federal Reserve chief seemed to dash hopes of a quick move to lower interest rates.
