Jerome Powell: “Let me start by saying that my colleagues and I strongly support the goals of maximum employment and price stability…”

We’re trying to deliver macro stability, financial stability, economic stability for the benefit of all the people.

I won’t bow to political pressure when it comes to setting monetary policy.

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.

Part of that is due to the start-stop nature of the tariffs that have been introduced.
