To further its long-run objectives, the Committee in the immediate future seeks conditions in reserve markets consistent with increasing the Federal funds rate to an average of around 33⁄4 percent. The vote encompassed approval of the paragraph below for inclusion in the statement to be released shortly after the meeting: The Committee perceives that, with appropriate monetary policy action, the upside and downside risks to the attainment of both sustainable growth and price stability should be kept roughly equal. With underlying inflation expected to be contained, the Committee believes that policy accommodation can be removed at a pace that is likely to be measured. Nonetheless, the Committee will respond to changes in economic prospects as needed to fulfill its obligation to maintain price stability. By order of the Federal Open Market Committee, October 12, 2005. Vincent R. Reinhart, Secretary, Federal Open Market Committee.
