#DiversifyYourAssets

Remarks by Jerome H. Powell, Chair, Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System at the Society for Advancing Business Editing and Writing Annual Conference in Arlington, Virginia

Thank you for having me here today. Monetary policy is more effective when the public understands what we are doing and why. Through your work, journalists like you help promote that greater understanding. I am sure this room full of reporters does not lack for questions to ask. Before addressing a few of those, I will briefly summarize the outlook for the economy and monetary policy.
