Soft landing

When the Federal Reserve is concerned about inflation, it raises interest rates to slow the pace of economic growth. If the Fed raises interest rates a lot, it may cause a recession – known as a hard landing. However, if the Fed can raise interest rates just enough to slow the economy and reduce inflation without causing a recession, it has achieved what is known as a soft landing.

軟著陸(soft landing)和硬著陸(hard landing)：軟著陸是指當整體經濟在經過一段強勁擴張期後，經濟仍持續成長，但不至於過熱而引發通貨膨脹，也不至陷入衰退。
