Jerome Powell: “I think our economy has been market-based, and I think that has served the public well.”

It is a big risk to our independence if we were to stray into areas where we shouldn’t that really aren’t part of our mandate.

I'm very focused on just doing my job.

I have a little more than 10 months left on my term as chair, and all I want, and all anyone at the Fed wants, is to deliver an economy that has price stability, maximum employment, financial stability.

I haven’t heard that.
