The United States Federal Reserve (The Fed) raised its benchmark interest rate by 50 basis points (bps) to 1% on Wednesday, May 4, 2022.

This 50 bps increase is the largest in 22 years. The last time the US central bank raised interest rates so aggressively was on May 31, 2000. The Fed's interest rate had been below 1% since March 2020.

This policy was implemented to curb high inflation in the United States, which reached 8.5% (year-on-year/yoy) by March 2022, as shown in the graph. The US has experienced high inflationary pressure since mid-2021, driven by rising food and energy prices. These price increases were partly triggered by the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

Here's the annual (yoy) US inflation rate as of March 2022:

* Overall inflation: 8.5%
* Food: 8.8%
* Energy: 32%

The Indonesian Central Statistics Agency (BPS) reported inflation of 0.95% (month-to-month/m-to-m) or 3.47% (yoy) in April 2021. The next meeting of the Bank Indonesia Board of Governors (RDG) is scheduled for May 23-24, 2022.
