Federal Reserve officials were encouraged last March 2021 by evidence the U.S. economy was picking up, but they showed no sign of moving closer to ending their bond purchases or lifting their benchmark short-term interest rate from nearly zero. “All told, even though the economy is recovering, we still have a long way to go before economic activity returns to its pre-pandemic vibrancy,” Evans said Wednesday, April 7, 2021 in prepared remarks.
