Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta President Raphael Bostic said inflation has come down more than he expected and is on a path today to reaching the Fed’s 2% goal, though it’s too early to declare victory.

“We are on a path to 2% today,” Bostic said Monday in a moderated discussion hosted by the Rotary Club of Atlanta. “The goal is to make sure we stay on the path.”
