We provide descriptions of outcomes from meetings of the Federal Open Market Committee in 2022 after five meetings in which the FOMC raised the federal funds rate by varying amounts. The interventions include very short descriptions of the action(s) taken, while other interventions include a one sentence description for why the FOMC took the action. A separate intervention takes the form of a placebo.
