63 Factors Supporting Light Vehicle Sales 1. Since 2007 light vehicle sales have been well below trend helping to create a large amount of pent-up demand. 2. The vehicle fleet is older than it has been since WW II. 3. Employment levels are slowly returning. 4. CPI for new vehicles is growing more slowly than for used vehicles. 5. Higher used vehicle prices means that buyers actually have quite a bit of equity in their used vehicle that they can use as a down payment. 6. Between 2007 and 2010 vehicles in operation (VIO) actually fell by 1.5 million units while the driving age population grew by 5.1 million people. 7. Higher fuel prices are being offset by more fuel efficient product offerings. 62

64 Economic Projections of FOMC April

65 April 25, 2012 F.O.M.C Meeting 1. Information received since the F.O.M.C. met in March suggests that the economy has been expanding moderately. 2. Labor market conditions have improved in recent months; the unemployment rate has declined in recent months but remains elevated. 3. Household spending and business fixed investment have continued to advance but the housing sector remains depressed. 4. Inflation has picked up somewhat, mainly reflecting higher prices of crude oil and gasoline. However, long-term inflation expectations have remained stable. 5. The committee expects to maintain a highly accommodative stance for monetary policy warranting exceptionally low federal funds rate at least through late The Committee decided to keep the target range for the federal funds rate at 0.0 to percent. 64
