REUTERS NEXT NEWSMAKER-US disinflation may slow, but Fed goals still intact, IMF's Georgieva says

BY Reuters | ECONOMIC | 03/31/25 04:17 PM EDT

WASHINGTON, March 31 (Reuters) - International Monetary Fund Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva said the disinflation process may slow a bit in 2025, but not enough to alter the Federal Reserve's goals of returning to its 2% target in 2026.

Georgieva told a Reuters NEXT Newsmaker event that recent high-frequency data showed inflation expectations in February were a little higher than forecast.

"When we look at inflation expectations, they're a little higher, but not dramatically changing the disinflation trajectory between now and 2026," Georgieva said, adding the Fed needed to watch the situation carefully. (Reporting by David Lawder; Editing by Chris Reese)

In general the bond market is volatile, and fixed income securities carry interest rate risk. (As interest rates rise, bond prices usually fall, and vice versa. This effect is usually more pronounced for longer-term securities.) Fixed income securities also carry inflation risk and credit and default risks for both issuers and counterparties. Unlike individual bonds, most bond funds do not have a maturity date, so avoiding losses caused by price volatility by holding them until maturity is not possible.

Lower-quality debt securities generally offer higher yields, but also involve greater risk of default or price changes due to potential changes in the credit quality of the issuer. Any fixed income security sold or redeemed prior to maturity may be subject to loss.

Before investing, consider the funds' investment objectives, risks, charges, and expenses. Contact Fidelity for a prospectus or, if available, a summary prospectus containing this information. Read it carefully.
