Transparency in communications about future policy decisions is not an end unto itself. matched

Communications must be in service to the Fed's paramount responsibility. matched

And what is that that's getting policy right? matched

Forward guidance as a regular practice was adopted by my colleagues and me during the global financial crisis. matched

It was essential at the time, and we introduced it with much fanfare. matched

But as with other legacies of crises past, I believe the practice has outstayed its welcome. matched

In normal times, the role of forward guidance should be limited and circumscribed. matched

Otherwise, it risks creating ambiguity in the name of clarity. matched

Oversharing policy deliberations and over committing to future decisions can lead markets, businesses, and households astray. matched

And I believe when policymakers make quasi-commitments on interest rates throughout the cycle, matched

we inhibit our own freedom to make the right calls when it's time to decide. matched

To get policy right, we also need to get the relationship right between the central bank and financial markets. matched

The markets, excuse me, the Fed needs clear market signals as unfiltered as possible. matched

From market internals, from the level and change in asset prices across sectors, matched

the prices and trading volumes of Treasury securities, the foreign exchange value of the dollar, the cost and availability of credit, a broad set of commodity prices. matched

These and other indicators should inform the Fed's near-term outlook on economic activity and inflation throughout the business cycle. matched

They should also reveal the state of broader financial conditions matched

and the risks and uncertainties of the financial cycle. matched

At the same time, market participants themselves should be tracking real information about the real economy. matched

They should draw their own conclusions, form their own expectations on things like output and employment and inflation, and they too should stay sharply attuned to risks. matched
