Jerome Powell: “these regulations [that have been imposed since the 2008 financial crisis] are new and we should be willing to adjust…”

As long as the economy is in solid shape, we think the prudent thing to do is to wait and see what those effects might be.

If any administration finds a way to remove Fed officials over policy differences, then future administrations will do so as well.

If we're going to do that successfully, we need to do it in a completely nonpolitical way, which means we don't take sides, we don't play one side against the other, we stay out of issues that are really not our bailiwick.

I’m very focused on just doing my job.
