The Committee seeks to achieve maximum employment and inflation at the rate of 2 percent over the longer run. ~Uncertainty about the economic outlook remains elevated. The implications of developments~ Developments in the Middle East ~for the U.S. economy~ are ~uncertain.~ contributing to a high level of uncertainty about the economic outlook.

In support of its goals, the Committee decided to maintain the target range for the federal funds rate at 3‑1/2 to 3‑3/4 percent.
