Yellen: Positive About Progress in Ending ‘Too Big to Fail’

Share Print 0

Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen on Thursday touted the strength of the United States economy, rebuffing political rhetoric suggesting a bubble is ready to burst.

“I certainly wouldn’t describe this as a bubble economy,” Yellen said, noting a “healing” labor market and a 5 percent headline unemployment number.

Yellen appeared on a panel with former Fed Chairs Ben Bernanke, Paul Volcker and Alan Greenspan at the International House in New York. The U.S. central bank heads discussed the U.S. economy and monetary policy around the globe.

Yellen’s comments come soon after Republican presidential contender Donald Trump’s contention that an economic bubble could burst. Yellen noted that she did not see “imbalances” like “clearly overvalued” asset prices.
