This afternoon I will speak about the structure of the Federal Reserve System and the value of clear monetary policy communications.

Payments and the Pandemic
It is a great pleasure being with you today as part of the 20th Anniversary Chicago Payments Symposium. Over the last two decades, this symposium has established itself as a valuable forum at which those interested in the payments system can gather to learn and share ideas. In recent years, the symposium has fostered important conversations between industry practitioners and policymakers. Those conversations have helped inform the Federal Reserve System’s initiative to improve and modernize the U.S. payments system. That work is ongoing and has reached important milestones this year, ...

I also want to acknowledge my long association with the Journal of Economics ...

Views on the U.S. Economy and Monetary Policy; 07.02.19 The European Economics and Financial Centre; Distinguished Speaker Seminar, London, UK
It was three years ago, almost to the day, when I was last before you. Since that time, there have been several economic and policy developments in the U.S. that I will update you on today. One thing has not changed: monetary policymakers are operating in a world of economic and geopolitical uncertainties that cloud the outlook. When I was here three years ago, U.K. voters had just decided to exit the European Union, and it was too soon to determine with any precision what the ramifications of that vote would be for the U.K. and global economy. Today, the terms of Brexit remain unresolved ...

The Economic Outlook and Some Longer-Run Issues 05-18-2017 Economic Club of Minnesota, Minneapolis, MN
Today, I will discuss my current outlook for the economy and my views on monetary policy. I will also talk about some longer-run issues facing the economy. Of course, these are my own views and not necessarily those of the Federal Reserve System or my colleagues on the Federal Open Market Committee. The economic expansion will celebrate its eighth birthday next month ? that?s 56 in dog years ? which is long by historical standards. Of course, expansions don?t die from old age and there is no reason to think that this one cannot continue. In fact, one of my focuses as a monetary policymaker is ...
