The growth rate of consumer prices in the US may exceed 2% against a background of a strong economy, the president of the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago, Charles Evans, believes.

He sees the need to maintain a policy of gradual raising of interest rates to a neutral level, when rates do not stimulate, but do not limit growth.
