On July 1, Federal Reserve Chair Waller set an ambitious timeline aimed at enabling the Fed to rely on new technologies that provide real-time economic data, thereby reducing dependence on lagging government survey data. Waller stated, 'My vision is that within the next 9 to 12 months, we will leverage new technologies to grasp the dynamics of the real economy in a synchronized, real-time manner, allowing us to make more informed decisions; we will no longer solely depend on data from government agencies that have statistical biases and are no longer applicable.'
