Note: The figure shows the Financial Conditions Impulse on Growth computed with a 1−year and 3−year lookback window, respectively, in red and black. Positive (negative) values of the two indexes denote headwinds (tailwinds) to GDP growth over the next year. The upward arrow indicates the direction of tightening of financial conditions and increasing headwinds to future GDP growth. Gray shaded bars denote periods of recession as dated by the National Bureau of Economic Research: July 1990-March 1991, March 2001-November 2001, December 2007-June 2009, and February 2020-April 2020. The dashed bars represent monetary policy tightening cycles: February 1994-March 1995, July 1999-July 2000, June 2004-August 2006, December 2015-July 2018, March 2022-present. Tightening cycles are defined to start on the month of the first federal funds rate increase and end after the last rate hike.

Note: The figure shows the Financial Conditions Impulse on Growth computed with a 1-year and 3-year lookback window, respectively, in red and black. Positive (negative) values of the two indexes denote headwinds (tailwinds) to GDP growth over the next year. The upward arrow indicates the direction of tightening of financial conditions and increasing headwinds to future GDP growth. Gray shaded bars denote periods of recession as dated by the National Bureau of Economic Research: January 1980-July 1980, July 1981-November 1982, July 1990-March 1991, March 2001-November 2001, December 2007- June 2009, and February 2020-April 2020. The dashed bars represent monetary policy tightening cycles: February 1977-May 1980, August 1980-July 1981, January 1982-March 1982, March 1983-September 1984, February 1987-September 1987, April 1988-April 1989, February 1994-March 1995, July 1999-July 2000, June 2004-August 2006, December 2015-July 2018, March 2022-present. Tightening cycles are defined to start on the month of the first federal funds rate increase and end after the last rate hike.
