NEW YORK (Reuters) - The public likes so-called time-based forward guidance on interest rates because it is the closest thing that Federal Reserve policymakers have to a consensus prediction of monetary policy, Fed Vice Chairman Stanley Fischer said on Friday.
"I think they like time-based because it's their way of getting as close as they can to a committee forecast of interest rates," he told the Initiative on Global Markets at Chicago Booth event.
