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

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.
