{"text":[[{"start":13.56,"text":"Jay Powell said the US economy is at an “inflection point” with growth and hiring set to accelerate, but he warned that new surges of Covid-19 could impede the recovery. "}],[{"start":24.66,"text":"Speaking on CBS’s 60 Minutes programme, the chair of the Federal Reserve delivered an upbeat message about the economic outlook and underscored the critical importance of the ongoing vaccinations campaign and the massive stimulus measures enacted to date to maintain its momentum. "}],[{"start":42.64,"text":"“We feel like we're at a place where the economy's about to start growing much more quickly and job creation coming in much more quickly,” he said in the interview, which was conducted on Wednesday and aired on Sunday. "}],[{"start":55.49,"text":"“What we're seeing now is really an economy that seems to be at an inflection point, and that's because of widespread vaccination and strong fiscal support, strong monetary policy support,” Powell added, saying the economy would have been “so much worse” without the aid.

"}],[{"start":102.08,"text":"In the short term, however, Biden administration officials are concerned about the spread of the disease in some states such as Michigan, where daily case numbers recently approached record highs as unvaccinated young people begin to socialise more and catch the virus. "}],[{"start":119.97,"text":"Powell also reiterated on Sunday that the brightening economic outlook hinges primarily on keeping Covid-19 under control. "}],[{"start":129.07,"text":"“The principal risk to our economy right now really is that the disease would spread again,” he warned. "},{"start":135.737,"text":"“It's going to be smart if people can continue to socially distance and wear masks. ”"}],[{"start":141.76999999999998,"text":"Fed officials have so far maintained that, despite the vastly improving outlook for growth and inflation, the US economy has yet to fully recover. "},{"start":151.44899999999998,"text":"While March’s jobs report showed strong gains, the unemployment rate is still elevated at 6 per cent, and there are roughly 8m fewer jobs than before the coronavirus crisis struck. "}],[{"start":164.23999999999998,"text":"Minutes from the central bank’s most recent meeting on monetary policy, published last week, also made clear that the Fed has no intention of pulling back its ultra-accommodative monetary policy any time soon. "},{"start":177.194,"text":"Officials stressed that it would be “some time until substantial further progress” was made on its goals for full employment and inflation that averages 2 per cent over time.

"}],[{"start":203.76999999999998,"text":"Powell reiterated this commitment on Sunday, highlighting the “disparate” nature of a recovery in which certain segments of the economy have flourished again while others, especially in the travel and entertainment space, continue to suffer.
