The US central bank Federal Reserve on Wednesday raised the policy interest rate by 0.75 percent for the second time in a row. The steps taken by the central bank to bring the skyrocketing inflation under control are considered to be the most aggressive in three decades. This move of the Federal Reserve will have an impact on consumer and business loans from 2.5 to 2.5 percent. This is the highest level since 2018.
