New Dallas Fed Chief Puts Inflation Fight on Front Burner

Lorie Logan in her first comments as leader of the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas on Wednesday said she agreed with other Fed officials that the central bank must focus on bringing inflation down.

“Being president of the Dallas Fed and as a policy maker, our number one priority has to be to restore price stability,” Ms. Logan said as part of a video on her bank’s website. She didn’t, however, link that view on price pressures to specific policy actions in remarks largely aimed at explaining how she will approach her leadership at the bank.
