Chicago Fed President Charles Evans told CNBC on Monday he believes it would be “quite some time” before it’s appropriate to start increasing interest rates from their near-zero levels.
Evans sees June as a possibility for the first rate increase, but said on “Squawk Box if it were his decision, he’d wait even longer. “If you look at the risks, we ought to balance those and be concerned that sometimes coming out of zero … is really a difficult proposition for the economies. And so I’d like to be patient.”
Evans is one of the Fed’s dovish regional chiefs. While not a voting member on the central bank’s policymaking committee this year, he’s a 2014 alternate and will be voting next year.
