Evans, who in his speech argued for rates to
start rising in early 2016, told reporters if the FOMC had
confidence that inflation was going to move up and that first
quarter economic softness was temporary, "you could imagine a
case being made for a rate increase in June".
"I think we are going to go meeting-by-meeting to make that
decision," Evans, a voter this year on Fed policy and among the
most dovish of U.S. central bankers, said after taking part in a
panel debate.
The Fed's policymaking Federal Open Market Committee meets next
on June 16-17.
