The United States is concerned that Europe is not moving decisively to heal its banks and that China will only slowly move toward a more market-based economy, Treasury Secretary Jack Lew said Thursday.
Lew said a deal struck in Europe last month to create a fund over the coming decade for dealing with future bank failures was important, but inadequate.
“We don’t think it’s big enough. We don’t think it’s fast enough,” Lew said at an event held by the Council on Foreign Relations.
