Lagarde: New Frontiers in Macroprudential Policy

Welcome, everyone. Thank you for joining us. And a special thank you to those who make today’s event so powerful: the distinguished speakers, panelists, and event organizers. We have a packed agenda on a variety of important topics, and I look forward to hearing about the progress we’ve made and priorities for the future. Today marks our tenth annual U.S. Treasury Market Conference, and a decade of partnership between our agencies. These conferences have proven to be a valuable forum to share insights and perspectives on the evolution of the Treasury market, identify challenges and risks to smooth market functioning, and, most importantly, discuss ways to enhance its resilience and effectiveness in both good times and bad times. post: FED’S WILLIAMS DOES NOT COMMENT ON ECONOMY, MONETARY POLICY **FED’S WILLIAMS: FED LAUNCHING REFERENCE RATE USE COMMITTEE **FED’S WILLIAMS: NEW COMMITTEE WILL HELP MARKETS USE, UNDERSTAND REFERENCE RATES

video Hello, everyone, and welcome to the 10th Annual U.S. Treasury Market Conference. "Tenth annual" is a phrase that generates a bit of surprise, and much pride. It is surprising because it does not seem like the first of these gatherings, which I was honored to play a role in organizing, was all that long ago. But the time passed also is something we can take pride in because the conference has persevered for so many years, and I hope will for many more to come. Much has changed in the economy since we first gathered in 2015—but the need for discussing and studying the U.S. Treasury market has not. As you all know, this market is the deepest and most liquid in the world. In addition to meeting the financing needs of the federal government, it plays a critical role in the efficient implementation of monetary policy. post: *FED'S POWELL DOESN'T COMMENT ON MONETARY POLICY IN SPEECH TEXT

Good morning. I would like to thank the Mid-Size Bank Coalition of America for the invitation to join you today for the Board of Directors Workshop.1 I appreciate the opportunity to share my views on the U.S. economy and monetary policy before we engage on bank supervisory and regulatory issues and other matters affecting the banking industry. In light of last week's Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting, I will begin my remarks by providing some perspective on my vote and will then share my current views on the economy and monetary policy. In order to address high inflation, for more than two years, the FOMC increased and held the federal funds rate at a restrictive level. At our September meeting, the FOMC voted to lower the target range for the federal funds rate by 1/2 percentage point to 4-3/4 to 5 percent and to continue reducing the Federal Reserve's securities holdings. post: Fed’s Bowman Echoes Speech On September 24 On MonPol, Economic Outlook
