The neutral policy rate is the rate that is neither stimulative nor contractionary.

"Many of the tax changes would not necessarily be very stimulative now, since they already have prevailed since 2017," said Spatt.

That’s a full percentage point lower than it was in September, but is still considered above the so-called neutral rate that’s neither stimulative nor restrictive for the economy.

The economy remains healthy and doesn’t appear to need the stimulative benefits of a rate cut, which can spur more borrowing and spending and could even re-ignite inflation.

Results also found that the stimulative and sedative effects of alcohol intoxication are reduced when taking these medications.
