The U.S. Federal Reserve has kept the interest rate at 4.25 percent – 4.5 percent, halting the process of its reduction amid high inflation, which stands at around 3 percent. This measure is aimed at preventing price growth, as a sharp decrease in rates could complicate the achievement of the 2 percent inflation target. The economy continues to grow, but consumers will not experience a significant reduction in borrowing costs, which makes the situation difficult for low-income households. It is expected that the rate may be lowered in May 2025.
