Bernanke says U.S. Economy Needed Fed Stimulus

PHILADELPHIA--The U.S. economy's recovery from the 2007-09 recession likely would have been far more feeble without the extraordinary stimulus efforts of the Federal Reserve, Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke said in a speech Friday. "The recovery has faced powerful headwinds, suggesting that economic growth might well have been considerably weaker, or even negative, without substantial monetary policy support," Mr. Bernanke said, defending the Fed's record against skeptics who see disappointing growth as proof of the central bank's failure. For the most part, research shows that the Fed's massive bond purchases and communication about the likely path of future policy have "helped promote the recovery," he said, according to his remarks prepared for delivery at the annual meeting of the American Economic Association in Philadelphia. Mr. Bernanke's speech comes less than a month before he is set to step down from the helm of the central bank...

Chairman Ben S. Bernanke At the Annual Meeting of the American Economic Association, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania January 3, 2014 The Federal Reserve: Looking Back, Looking Forward Watch Video   In less than a month my term as Fed Chairman will end. Needless to say, my tenure has been eventful--for the Federal Reserve, for the country, and for me personally. I thought it appropriate today to reflect on some accomplishments of the past eight years, as well as some uncompleted tasks. I will briefly cover three areas in my remarks: (1) the Federal Reserve's commitment to transparency and accountability, (2) financial stability and financial reform, and (3) monetary policy. I will close by discussing the prospects for the U.S. and global economies. Transparency and Accountability Fostering transparency and accountability at the Federal Reserve was one of my principal objectives when I became Chairman in February 2006. I had long advocated increased transparency and, in pa...

                             The Big Picture It’s working already!   I had expected that the dollar’s weakness in late December was due  largely to end-year position-closing and was not a reflection on the currency’s likely direction in 2014. We’re only a few hours into the  year but so far it seems that I was right:  the dollar is up against most of its G10 counterparts this morning as well as the EM currencies. The only major exception is GBP, which has gained across the board this morning. I would expect to see more USD buying as the day goes on. The only major economic indicator out yesterday was China’s manufacturing PMI for December, which was a bit worse than expected, falling to 51.0 from 51.4 (expected: 51.2). Much of the rest of the world will announce its manufacturing PMIs for December today. Sweden’s manufacturing PMI for December is expected to fall to 55.2 from ...
