Speech by Chairman Bernanke on four questions about the financial crisis

Federal Reserve Board Chairman Ben S. Bernanke At the Morehouse College, Atlanta, Georgia – April 14, 2009 – Four Questions about the Financial Crisis

  • “The current crisis has been one of the most difficult financial and economic episodes in modern history. Recently we have seen tentative signs that the sharp decline in economic activity may be slowing, for example, in data on home sales, homebuilding, and consumer spending, including sales of new motor vehicles. A leveling out of economic activity is the first step toward recovery. To be sure, we will not have a sustainable recovery without a stabilization of our financial system and credit markets. We are making progress on that front as well, and the Federal Reserve is committed to working to restore financial stability as a necessary step toward full economic recovery.”
