said she expects inflation will recede to normal levels over the next two years, down from near-four-decade highs.
“I do expect inflation to come down,” Yellen said in an interview at the summit of the Group of 20 leading rich and developing nations here when she was asked whether the worst of the price increases were over. “I think we see some good indications that inflation is poised to come down.” Pressed about on a timeline for inflation to cool, Yellen declined to provide a monthly forecast basis but said, “Over the next couple of years, I definitely think that inflation will come back down to levels toward normal levels we’re accustomed to.”
She added that while the Labor Department’s Consumer Price Index report for October was “solid,” the reading wasn’t enough to make a judgment about the coming months.
