Regionally Speaking September 27, 2022
The Board of Governors Federal Reserve
Chair Powell answers reporters' questions at the FOMC press conference on September 21, 2022.

Today: The Fed recently raised rates by another three-quarters of a percentage point and at the same time pledges more hikes to fight inflation. We’ll hear from PNC Financial Services Senior Economist Abbey Omodumbi about what that will mean for Indiana’s economic outlook.  Indiana Youth Institute President and CEO Tami Silverman is back with us again…this time to discuss the 2022 Kids Count Data Book. But up first we bring back our conversation with IUPUI senior lecturer Pierre Atlas. He was with us to discuss the “Trump Effect” on the upcoming Midterm election.  All of that on this edition of Regionally Speaking.
