The Federal Reserve Board’s Open Market Committee wrapped up a two day interest rate meeting Wednesday afternoon vowing to keep rates “exceptionally low” for “an extended period.”
Policy makers also say there are growing signs of an economy on the mend.
Since the Fed’s last meeting in September, policy makers say economic activity has continued to pick up.
“Conditions in financial markets were roughly unchanged, on balance, over the intermeeting period. Activity in the housing sector has increased in recent months,” policy makers said in a statement. “Household spending appears to be expanding but remains constrained by ongoing job losses, sluggish income growth, lower housing wealth and tight credit.”
