Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago President Austan Goolsbee said he is among policymakers anticipating three interest-rate cuts this year.

Goolsbee, speaking Monday in an interview on Yahoo! Finance, said his view was in line with the median estimate in projections released following the Fed’s March 19-20 meeting. Ten officials saw at least three cuts this year, while nine others projected two or fewer.
