发帖数: 901 | 1 FRANKFURT, Germany — Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke hit back on
Friday at critics of the U.S. central bank's bond-buying program and issued
a thinly veiled attack on China's policy of keeping its currency on a leash.
In his first speech since the Fed announced the program Nov. 3, Bernanke
also made his most forceful case to date that Congress also must provide
more stimulus aid.
Without more stimulus, high unemployment could persist for years, he said.
But in making that argument, Bernanke risks heightening complaints that he's
plunging the Fed into partisan politics.
Bernanke, facing a chorus of protests about the asset-buying spree from
within and outside the central bank, said a more vigorous U.S. economy was
essential to fuel the global recovery and dismissed charges he was debasing
the dollar. |
