Date 13/11/2019
Chairman Lee, Vice Chair Maloney, and members of the Committee, I appreciate the opportunity to testify before you today.

We are committed to providing clear explanations about our policies and actions.

We appreciate that our independence brings with it an obligation for transparency and accountability. Today I will discuss the outlook for the economy and monetary policy.
