Yellen says US economy ‘resilient’ amid global headwinds

Associated Press  

WASHINGTON — U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen sought Wednesday to project confidence in the U.S. financial outlook while pledging vigilance in responding to “risks on the horizon.” She is offering that message as global finance leaders gather in Washington to discuss the increasingly dismal view of the global economy. “Our economy remains resilient in the face of global economic headwinds,” Yellen said at a meeting on the sidelines of this week’s annual meetings of the International Monetary Fund and its sister lending agency, the World Bank. Her remarks to the Bretton Woods Committee’s International Council crediting President Joe Biden’s domestic policies for contributing to U.S. economic strength came as administration officials try to talk up the president’s policies ahead of midterm elections. Vitor Gaspar, director of the IMF’s Fiscal Affairs Department said Wednesday that world leaders need to “be prepared for a shock-prone world.” Yellen, a former U.S. Federal Reserve chair, said the Biden administration is “committed to working with our partners to build greater resilience, in America and globally, to the types of shocks we’ve seen.” “We are highly attuned to the risks on the horizon,” Yellen said.
