The Federal Reserve has raised interest rates for the first time in several years, according to a report published by NPR News on September 17, 2026.

The report did not specify the exact size of the rate increase or provide additional detail on the Fed's rationale, but noted the move marks a shift after a prolonged period without such an increase.

Separately, NPR reported that the European Union has proposed that Canada become its first-ever "associate member," a status that has not previously existed within the bloc's framework.

Details on the scope, terms, or timeline of the proposed associate membership arrangement between the EU and Canada were not included in the available reporting.

NPR's report grouped the two developments together as part of its daily news roundup, without elaborating further on either story.
