The Federal Reserve should consider negative interest rates as a potential weapon to fight future economic downturns, former central bank Chairman Ben Bernanke said.
Former Chairman Alan Greenspan told CNBC in September that it’s “only a matter of time” before below-zero yields come to the U.S. When she was chair, Janet Yellen said in a letter that she would “would not completely rule out the use” of negative rates. Current Chairman Jerome Powell has said he does not expect the Fed to go that route.
“Categorically ruling out negative rates is probably unwise, as future situations in which the extra policy space provided by negative rates could be useful are certainly possible,” Bernanke said in a companion paper to his speech.
You know a high school dropout could do what the FOMC does.....They simply through cash at every problem. It really is that simple.
Although they try and make everything they so seem so complicated.
