the evidence

The Federal Reserve raised the federal funds rate 11 times between March 2022 and July 2023.

The Fed implemented aggressive rate increases totaling 525 basis points in 16 months, the fastest tightening cycle since the 1980s, directly targeting inflation reduction.

the claim

The Federal Reserve's interest rate hikes reduced inflation from 9.1% in June 2022 to 3.4% by December 2023.

This claim attributes the decline in U.S. inflation rates over an 18-month period directly to the Federal Reserve's monetary policy of raising interest rates. The Fed increased rates from 0.25% to 5.5% during 2022-2023, and inflation measured by CPI fell from its peak of 9.1% to 3.4% in this timeframe.
