Fact Check
The evidence strongly and directly confirms the statement. Multiple credible sources, including a New York Times article reporting on official Fed minutes (Source 1) and a Reuters report (Source 4), explicitly mention "divisions" and "debate among Federal Reserve policymakers over the pace" of rate cuts. This is further corroborated by other news reports (Sources 2, 7) and speeches from Fed officials (Sources 8, 10) that highlight the 'pace' of cuts as a central point of discussion and deliberation.
Summary
The Federal Reserve’s updated dot plot shows wide differences among 19 officials on 2025 rate cuts: 1 projects no cuts, 6 see a single 25 bps cut, 2 anticipate 50 bps in cuts, 9 favor 75 bps in cuts, and 1 supports a 150 bps reduction. These projections underscore internal divisions and highlight differing views on the pace of monetary policy easing.
