The decision was widely expected, given the group's tendencies so far this year to rubber-stamp policy. Thursday's meeting to consider the June allotment took less than 15 minutes. The allotment, meanwhile, is far less than what many expect the economy needs given the supply-side pressures that resulted from the war in Ukraine.
