Bernanke: Keep Fed As Watchdog Of Small US Banks
WASHINGTON — Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke made a fresh pitch Saturday to retain oversight of small banks, contending that what the Fed learns from that role helps it assess the overall health of the entire U.S. financial system. Bernanke, in a speech to the Independent Community Bankers of America’s meeting in Orlando, Fla., argued against a Senate proposal that would scale back the Fed’s banking duties. Close connections with community banks give the Fed a better understanding of the nation’s financial risks, including problems in commercial real-estate and small-business lending, according to Bernanke’s prepared remarks. A Senate bill to overhaul financial regulation would strip the Fed of its power to supervise state-chartered banks and bank holding companies with assets of less than $50 billion. That would leave the Fed overseeing only 35 big bank holding companies. The legislation, written by Sen. Christopher Dodd, D-Conn., is set to be debated on Monday by the Senate Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs, which he leads. Critics have blamed lax regulation at the Fed and at other agencies for contributing to the financial crisis. Financial instability can undermine small banks, not just big ones, Bernanke said. Small banks contributed to the problems of the Great Depression, he noted. Small banks have expressed support for continued regulation by the Fed and have made arguments similar to Bernanke’s. Dodd’s proposal would mean major changes to Fed’s system of 12 regional banks.

Bernanke urges US Congress to plan for deficit cuts
Federal Reserve chairman Ben Bernanke says fiscal exit strategy is important for US economy’s prospectsFederal Reserve chairman Ben Bernanke has urged the US Congress to bolster market confidence by drawing up plans to address America’s gaping budget deficit.Giving his twice-yearly testimony to the house financial services committee, the chairman agreed that the current deficit path was unsustainable. He warned that a loss of confidence by bondholders could start to push up interest rates unless politicians had a clear exit strategy from emergency fiscal policy.”We have a debt that will continue to grow … I do think it’s important to look at the deficit as it goes forward,” Bernanke said, adding that it would provide a powerful boost to the recovery in market confidence “if there were a sustainable, credible plan for a fiscal exit”.However, he stressed that President Obama’s huge anti-recession spending plan had helped to shield the economy from a deeper recession over the past year.There is a fierce political debate in the US about whether Washington should start to rein in public spending, or embark on a fresh stimulus package to prevent the economic upturn from fading away.Share prices on Wall Street jumped during Bernanke’s testimony, with the Dow Jones rising by 100 points, after he repeated the Fed’s promise that interest rates would remain low for an “extended period,” to support the “nascent” recovery.The US economy expanded at an annual rate of 4% in the second half of last year, but Bernanke stressed that “a significant proportion” of that bounce resulted from firms re-stocking, and “a sustained recovery will depend on continued growth in private-sector final demand for goods and services.”The Fed last week increased the discount rate banks must pay on their reserves by half a percentage point, as the first step in its own exit strategy from recession-busting monetary policies. But Bernanke insisted the change would have no impact on the mortgage rates paid by American homeowners.The chairman, who was recently confirmed in his job for a second term, also stressed that unemployment was likely to remain high for at least two years. “The job market remains quite weak, with the unemployment rate near 10% and job openings scarce,” he said. “Of particular concern, because of its long-term implications for workers’ skills and wages, is the increasing incidence of long-term unemployment; indeed, more than 40% of the unemployed have been out of work six months or more, nearly double the share of a year ago.” The Fed is forecasting that unemployment will remain as high as 6.5% to 7% by the end of 2012.Bernanke also threw his weight behind legislation that would force the Fed to reveal ” after a delay ” which firms had benefited from some of its emergency lending schemes.US economyBen BernankeFinancial crisisUnited StatesHeather Stewartguardian.co.uk © Guardian News & Media Limited 2010 | Use of this content is subject to our Terms & Conditions | More Feeds.

Bernanke Testimony: Stimulus Exit, Future Interest Rate Increases Outlined By Fed Chief
WASHINGTON — Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke began Wednesday to outline the central bank’s strategy for reeling in stimulus money once the economic recovery is more firmly rooted. Bernanke said the Fed will likely start to tighten credit by boosting the interest rate it pays banks on money they leave at the central bank. Doing so would raise rates tied to commercial banks’ prime rate and affect many consumer loans. Companies and ordinary Americans would pay more to borrow. But in prepared remarks to a House committee, Bernanke indicated the Fed is still months away from raising rates or draining most of the stimulus money it injected to rescue the financial system. He said the recovery still needs support from record-low interest rates. The Fed chief used his remarks to explain how the central bank will try to withdraw the stimulus money without tipping the economy back into recession. Using the rate it pays on banks’ excess reserves to affect credit would be a new strategy for the Fed. Since the 1980’s, its main lever to tighten or loosen credit has been the federal funds rate. That rate is now at a record low near zero. The rate paid on banks’ excess reserves is 0.25 percent.

Bernanke: Breaking News

Ben Bernanke given second term at Federal Reserve
Relief for Obama administration after 70-30 senate vote in favour of Bernanke’s re-appointmentThe chairman of the Federal Reserve, Ben Bernanke, has overcome significant Congressional opposition to win approval for a second four-year term at the helm of America’s central bank through a 70-30 vote by senators.Bernanke’s approval will come as a relief to the Obama administration which was anxious for confirmation before Bernanke’s term expires at the end of January. Once considered a sure thing, Bernanke’s re-appointment became a contentious issue in recent weeks with attacks on his record coming both from the political left and right.A softly spoken former Princeton University economics professor, Bernanke, 56, replaced Alan Greenspan at the Fed in 2006 and initially adopted a low-key style in setting interest rates and guiding monetary policy. But the global financial crisis thrust him into the very core of government and he was a pivotal figure in bailing out Wall Street banks, opening up a cheap supply of credit, rescuing the insurer AIG and in endorsing the White House’s economic stimulus plans.Critics on the left blame Bernanke for allowing Wall Street banks to get out of control in the first place. Bernie Sanders, an independent senator from Vermont, described him as “asleep at the switch while Wall Street became a gambling casino”. Sheldon Whitehouse, a Democrat, said: “If you’re the scorekeeper of our recovery, it looks like it can be summarised in the two-word phrase ‘banks win’. That isn’t a balanced score.”Among Republican ranks, free marketeers frowned upon his interventionist approach in tackling the credit crunch.

Breaking News for Bernanke

Is Bernanke Hiding A Smoking Gun–
A Republican senator said Tuesday that documents showing Federal Reserve Board Chairman Ben Bernake covered up the fact that his staff recommended he not bailout AIG are being kept from the public. And a House Republican charged that a whistleblower had alerted Congress to specific documents provide “troubling details” of Bernanke’s role in the AIG bailout. Sen. Jim Bunning (R-Ky.), a Bernanke critic, said on CNBC that he has seen documents showing that Bernanke overruled such a recommendation. If that’s the case, it raises questions about whether bailing out AIG was actually necessary, and what Bernanke’s motives were. A letter Bunning sent Monday to Banking Committee Chairman Chris Dodd (D-Conn.) also refers to an “[e]mail exchange regarding restructuring of assistance to AIG, initiated by Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner” in March 2009. Senators will be voting on Bernanke’s confirmation for a second term in the coming days. But only senators on the Banking Committee have had access to documents that illuminate just what decisions he made and how he made them.

With Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke’s term coming to an end on January 31, what once seemed implausible has quickly become a genuine political possibility: he might not have the votes to win confirmation. On Friday, a host of lawmakers expressed either skepticism or downright opposition to a second term for the man appointed by George W. Bush and re-nominated by President Barack Obama. By day’s end, it was unclear whether the Fed Chairman had the 60 votes needed to move his nomination forward, raising speculation that the president would have to pull the nomination. How, exactly, did it come to this– Aides on Capitol Hill were asking themselves that very question. One high-ranking Democrat said that until recently, the Bernanke nomination was barely discussed in leadership meetings and even less frequently in caucus gatherings.

White House Warns Against ‘Playing Politics’ With Bernanke Nomination
WASHINGTON — White House officials and Senate leaders predicted on Sunday that Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke will be confirmed for a second term. White House spokesman Robert Gibbs said a new four-year term for the central bank head is needed to ensure stability in the financial system. Lawmakers would send a bad message to financial markets by “playing politics in any way” with Bernanke’s nomination, Gibbs said. White House senior adviser Valerie Jarrett said Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., had assured President Barack Obama that Bernanke had strong support among Democrats. Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky said he anticipated that Bernanke would be confirmed and would receive bipartisan support. McConnell would not say how he would vote and how many Republicans would vote against a second term. The No. 2 Senate Democrat, Dick Durbin of Illinois, added, “I think that we’re going to have the votes to make sure he is reconfirmed.” Bernanke, appointed by Republican President George W. Bush, is widely credited with helping to prevent the recession from turning into a depression. But his support of Wall Street bailouts has angered the public as the country struggles with double-digit unemployment and soaring home foreclosures. Obama called Senate allies on Saturday to make his case for Bernanke, whose term ends Jan.
