Mar 11, 2026 3:26 AM

Feb 9 (Reuters) - Federal Reserve Governor Stephen Miran said Monday a weaker ‌dollar isn't much of ​an issue for ‍the central bank ⁠right ⁠now.

The kind of decline ‌seen in ​the dollar "doesn't matter that much ⁠for consumer ‍inflation" ​and only would if it were very ‍dramatic, Miran said at an appearance at the Boston University Questrom ​School ‍of Business. When it comes to ​the dollar decline, "I don't view it as something that sort of had material ​consequences for monetary policy thus far," he added.
